It was probably the most chilling race I have ever seen live as well. I couldnt get over though, the amount of people who still think Rachel isnt all that, and that her connections ducked Quality Road and Summer Bird in the Travers. I nearly spit out my beer when I had the words "duck" and "Quality Road" in the same sentence. As if he has done anything close to worth of being ducked. You wouldnt believe the amount of novices that attend the races up here and throw stupid opinions around, most of whom didnt even know Rachel beat up on Summer Bird just a mere 4 weeks ago in a race called the Haskell. To many people here, this is the only racetrack that exists and the Travers is still the super race it once was and the only spot for any 3 year old.
