Her connections will look at their options and go from there. The Ladies Classic seems to be the most obvious. I disagree with the notion that one race is less dignified than another. It's The Breeders' Cup. All Championship Races. I do hope where ever she runs, she has a solid opportunity to go out a winner.Stephen Alicknovichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12618235901598492374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6037940159956945489.post-21762374787411751932010-09-03T20:52:42.025-04:002010-09-03T20:52:42.025-04:00Persistently is trained by someone who knows how t...Persistently is trained by someone who knows how to get a horse ready to go 1 1/4 miles though....Joseph Burnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13019097499871087313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6037940159956945489.post-85823827962368860802010-09-02T15:29:19.024-04:002010-09-02T15:29:19.024-04:00Lisa's Booby Trap is the antidote to all of th...Lisa's Booby Trap is the antidote to all of the over-thought Rachel - Zennyata paper feud.

How is running in the Ladies Classic beneath Rachel Alexandra's dignity? That was inexplicable.<br /><br />I don't think Rachel Alexandra was ever going to run in the Breeders' Cup Classic, even if she had held on to win the Personal Ensign Sunday. Regardless whether she's bred for 10 furlongs (I don't see why she isn't; her sire won at 10), she's never seemed suited to be a 10-furlong horse. She's pretty much a speed demon who is likely to get hooked in the early going with some horse or another -- whether or not they have the talent to win -- and the further the race goes, the less she has in the tank to finish, even after putting away that competition on the lead. I say there's no way Jackson/Asmussen wanted any part of Quality Road and probably First Dude on the front end of the Classic, with Lookin at Lucky, Blame, Fly Down perhaps, and others (not to mention Zenyatta) closing in the stretch.<br /><br />I actually think the most interesting race for Rachel Alexandra would be the Dirt Mile. A chance to go out on a high note by beating males again, at a short distance where her speed is an advantage.<br /><br />I also have creeping doubts we'll see Zenyatta in the Classic. Not sure HER people really want to try and out-close Blame, Lucky or even Afleet Express and Fly Down (considering their Travers performances) in a field of talented dirt horses.<br /><br />And, for that matter, I'm not sure about Quality Road in the Classic. Were he my horse, I'd probably duck it. He hasn't been able to win at 10f yet, over several opportunities. I'd run him in the Dirt Mile; he has stallion resume already.Glenn Cravenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09760553404742644042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6037940159956945489.post-39879456777193612872010-09-01T00:33:25.110-04:002010-09-01T00:33:25.110-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
