Who knows how this will shake out, but it doesn't look good for that race at Oaklawn now.

It was a prep race for a 5mil purse in a few weeks... she got some needed conditioning outta the race...and should move forward at Oaklawn

maybe they wanted to win or wanted her to be further along than she was but it wasn't that important today as it will be the next time

assuming there is going to be a next time

Why does no one even give a thought that Zardana might just be G1 quality on dirt, and RA just needed one?

Instead, everyone is acting like Rachel's career is over.

I think that they need more time to get her back on her game, period. They should of made Zenyatta wait till later in the year to have the CLASH OF TITANS.

No it doesnt look good and I think its too soon for RA to be at her best, but Zenyatta isn't that good. Right.

It likely is. Do you think Jackson takes this like a man and moves forward, or SAVES FACE and blames this on a career ending injury? I think he goes injury route, whats going to happen if they press forward and Z demolishes her?

you honestly believe they will claim an injury immediately after this race?

I'll bet they don't

Wait , we still want to see the RA vs Zenyatta race and with both at the top of their game. Dont start trying to find away to spoil the race.

At least he would settle who is better once and for all so that there is no question.

Zenyatta has never beaten Rachel Alexandra yet. I still want to see the race.

When Zenyatta demolishes RA in a dirt race, with both horses in the race, then I'll stop believing Rachel is better.

I like Rachel, Im not one of these guys who wanted her to get beat... I just SIMPLY THINK ZENYATTA IS AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN BETTER. I think claiming injury is safe way to get out of this mess, especially if Rachel is going the wrong way.

Settle who is better?
Are you serious right now? Who is undefeated? Who won the BCC? Who has won on dirt and synthetics? Rachel is great she was amazing last year, but Zenyatta is better.

I've never seen Zenyatta run on dirt since she demolished the mighty Brownie Points!!!

Sure, Ginger Punch was in the race....but if you're going to sell me that Zenyatta beat a Ginger Punch on her best game, then you're saying that Brownie Points is better than Ginger Punch.

Gut feeling is that Ginger Punch just didn't fire that day. I need to see Zenyatta on dirt again, against RA, to become a true believer that she is the best on any surface.

Right now, I believe she's the best on any synthetic track.
