Default Rachel Alexandra to the Preakness?
http://www.drf.com/news/article/103544.html

A transfer of Rachel Alexandra would raise the possibility of the filly being supplemented for a $100,000 fee to the next jewel of the Triple Crown, the May 16 Preakness at Pimlico. The filly was not nominated to the Triple Crown, and her breeder and co-owner, Dolph Morrison, was adamant in the wake of her Oaks victory that she would not be supplemented to the Preakness or June 6 Belmont Stakes.

I am ready to puke.

Assmuffin--Jesus.

I don't begrudge anyone cashing out per se, but I don't have to like the result afterward. And I won't, if this hold up.

good for the connections though... I bet the money is real nice, for a FILLY! (i'd sell her probably)

WOW.... I'd go to the barn... give her a big hug and kisses... maybe some carrots and peppermints... pet her for like 10 minutes and say THANKS GIRL!!! then get the lead rope...


10 million for a FILLY... unreal... especially in this market.

I just wish they would keep her with Wiggins..

argggh, not the ASSman. i'm not surprised-except that it's taken this long for a legit deal to shake out.
someone offers ten mill, ya take it. well, i'd sell most of her, and keep a small % for myself. that way, you get the money, and still keep a piece of her.

but assman?! sheeesh
