48.4 in a mile race.

Good thinking, taking away her best weapon.

Who knows though.

Exactly. Why not let her roll and make them run her down, instead of trying to be cute on the far turn and getting in stretchlong battles while along the inside.

I don't think so either, but this is Jess Jackson we're talking about.

If this isn't Rachel's last race, I'm pretty sure it's Calvin's as her pilot.

Bummer!

I can't figure out why he didn't let her run on a bit when she moved alongside Be Fair just as they turned onto the backstretch.

Jeez, take the winner out of the field and Rachel wins by 8 on a soft pace. Then the critique becomes how easy she had it on the front end.

Missed the race, only caught the winner's circle. They tried to hold her back again? Seriously?
