Appreciate the vid! Love the comments that accurately predict the final outcome. She truly is one of the greatest horses ever to look through a bridle!

Nice vid spicy. Your comments on the pace ,final time and calling the race over early show you know your horses and your track. You are definitely right, she is one of the best horses ever to run at Monmouth, or any track. Rachel Alexandra the Great.

Thanks for the comment, key. However, most of it wasn't me. I don't know a damn thing about horse racing. The commentary came from my friend who's a horse racing junkie. Appreciate the compliments, though.

i love that..."thats it, race is over!" so more much emotional watching these races from a trackside point of view.

Thanks for your comments and compliments so far guys. I appreciate them very much. And I'm looking forward to next year as well.

Not sure who the handicappers are in the back ground but these guys are very impressive, understood the pace and the fact that Summer Bird was too close, to guess she'd win by 6 was pretty impressive.

Loved this race, and will be able to enjoy the Woodward even more as I will be in attendance at Saratoga that day. Will be wonderful to take in the history of the SPA. Go Rachel Go!!

this gives me goosebumps just watching this.

Yes this is a goosebump race, I was unable to make the trip because I am closing on my new house, but I have the rare priviledge of being able to say that I saw her earlier this year, she ran in the Martha Washington and in the Fantasy at Oaklawn, Hot Springs is my hometown so that trip was worth it. Here's a good one, I was watching the post parade for the FG Oaks and there was a guy at Oaklawn tell me that Stardom Bound was much better than Rachel and would catch her in the stretch. SO FUNNY.

I love this. Thanks for sharing it from the stands. You can feel the electricity far more than in the actual video of the race!

Excellent use of the people's technology. So much for this being only the Sport of Kings. Much grass.
