Easy exacta opportunity. Put RA over a longshot or two

You just have to hit it a couple of times, but I believe it's a good bet.

I guess you still have a problem with Jess running her in this spot? If she jogs do you want her to continue crushing filly's? Do you want to see her in the Coaching Club and Alabama?

What are you talking about? Do me a favor and don't put words in my mouth. When did I even speculate on Rachel Alexandra and this particular spot? I'm certainly happy to see her come to NY to drive a big day at the turnstiles. Let her come back for every opportunity through Beldame.

But since you're on the topic and depending upon who shows up as competition, don't be surprised if Rachel Alexandra struggles here.

i agree. yes, it will be great for belmont and racing "buzz" . betting wise its a joke. people are excited about putting her on top in a exacta. now i know why i do so well at the track! the only bet i could make in that race is a bet against her on top, or save my money because something else on that card will be 10 times better. heres one, RA with all, the highest exacta will pay 12.60, maybe.

So what's wrong with that? Is that $12.60 for $2?

Play a $20 exacta and you have $126.00. If there's a 5 horse field, and the second choice isn't a clear lock, then I don't see why this isn't a poor bet.

A few races back if you could eliminate Just Jenda and eliminate another filly whose name escapes me....then Afleet Deceit looked logical for second.

Well since the brilliantly successful Hal Wiggins was pointing her for the tiarra I figured you endorsed her in this spot. Who the f is going to challenge her Just a lame whistle? I suggest Jess has done everything right. He bought her for a fair price, won the the Preakness, will race her in a few spots against slug fillies , and then give her a shot to win the classic. Hal wiggins
, the trainer who has a ROI of negative 3, would have done what?

Steve enlighten us all on Zenyattas issues so we all can be in the know on what you and Dottie have been keeping from us all..lol
