Look at the bolded parts. This is the problem. We're still guessing as to how good she is because they refuse to prove it. It's downright pathetic that we're begging her to face Rail Trip. If she were as great as they say she is, she'd be pointing for the Whitney. And I don't want to hear about all the preps she needs for the BCC. If she can't run against big horses the first Saturday in August, then do so again in November, she's not really a champion. |

So now you're saying that even if she wins the BC Classic again this year that still won't be enough because she's probably not going to face the boys in August. This is getting ridiculous. To say the streak is not a big deal is ridiculous. It's almost impossible to win 15 graded stakes races in a row, no matter how carefully you pick your spots. You can catch some easy graded stakes races occassionally but you can't do it consistently and that is why it's never been done. If you could find a way to win 17 races in a row (including 15 graded stakes races in a row) with a horse that's not great, then you should become a racing manager. You would be the best racing manager in the country if you could map out a schedule where a horse that's not that great of a horse wins 15 graded stakes races in a row by picking easy spots. It would actually be easy to make money as an owner if an owner could just find easy graded stakes races and win 15 in a row. |

![]() Sucks that shes going to be judged on this one race right? Thats what happens when you coddle your horse and put all your eggs in one basket. Maybe if they tested her a little bit more this wouldn't of happened. Her rep is def going to be crushed after she gets beat.

![]() I agree. If all these horses (Quality Road, Zenyatta, Rail Trip, Rachel Alexandra, etc.) continue to stay sound and in good form, this could be the best BCC in years.

![]() Add Blame, let's not forget Mine That Bird, everyone loves a former derby winner, and Godolphin and Tabor always send a horse or 2. Could be quite the field.

![]() True, but I seriously doubt anything in the next ten years will ever be able to top this year's Belmont Stakes. I think it already has the title locked up.

![]() Not to mention the fact that she's a deep closer … which makes the streak even more remarkable. By the way, some really outstanding work on this thread, Mr. Pumpkin |

![]() Bullshit, on synthetic it is an advantage to be a closer.

![]() Do you watch races? Do you bet? I just can't see how someone with a marginal grasp of horse racing could be so far in the tank.
