Heck, they think it's cruel to run her against that laughable group of slowpoke older males because she's a female.
The connections of these 2 super talented fillies need to grow a pair.

Its commonplace in Europe.

Oh I forgot...If Ruffian and 8 Belles hadnt been racing against the boys, they never would have broke down.

I don't blame Rachel's connections for going the Oaks route.

When Stardom Bound was supposed to be like almost everyone's pick to win the race .. and she was laughable ... and the 3yo males looked so deep - this was the smart route.

As it turns out ... maybe they could have won the Derby with her. But they did what was prudent.
