[littledrawingfan]

[gerbilsocks]

racing should not be a sport.

[wolfsmother14]

@gerbilsocks And you should not be a douchebag, but you are. I just shrug my shoulders.

[gerbilsocks]

@wolfsmother14 hahhahahahahhahahahhaahahhaha. just stating my opinion little kid

[Davercks101]

im on team Zenyatta but what if calvin had pushed what if he had actually used his hands or the whip i mean amzing

[greatbigbubby]

i noticed her reach and her shoulder stretch even before gary stevens (sounds like him) mentioned her stride! phenomenal filly!!!!!

[RuffianQueenOfRacing]

she is the closest to ruffian we are ever gona get! RA reminds me so much of ruffian!

[Jaxton98]

i wonder if shes related to Secretariat? :D cuz it seems like it! 8D

[XxHorsexObsessionxX]

We love you rachel ;')

You are an amazing racehorse, and always will be. Have a wonderful retirement <3

WOW!!! Gabby's Rachel Half-Sister???? I get a kick out of her trainer on her last workout before this race. He wasn't working her out, she was working HIM out!!! LOLOLOL!! Poor Gaby he's right. She ran her ass off!!!

I am so in love with RA words can't explain it!!!!! :)

This is my favourite race, next to Secretariat's Belmont win.

[LetsGetItStartedNow]

yeah but she lost to Zerdana who got her asked kicked badly by Zenyatta

[ThePixiePoet]

@LetsGetItStartedNow - Zardana won that one with the highest speed figure of her career, and she beat a 80% Rachel. But don't forget, Rachel has the HIGHEST speed figure of any female horse this year. In fact, Rachel made the top 10 list TWICE. Zenyatta is nowhere on the list.

Rachel has the #1 Spot in the ThoroughbredTimes(dot)com "Performance Rating" because of this. Don't let her loss earlier this year fool you. This filly has not lost her touch at all!

[LetsGetItStartedNow]

@ThePixiePoet - Well if you know anything about handicapping horses, class ALWAYS prevails over speed. A horse will just do enough to win. You surely can't believe that Rachel can beat Zenyatta. Zerdana is a junk horse. A horse with real class will not lose to a junk horse.

[ThePixiePoet]

@LetsGetItStartedNow - Well, first of all , it's Zardana, not Zerdana.

Your comment doesn't make much sense: all the great ones had speed. Secretariat is great. I like Zenyatta so don't make me out to be someone who doesn't like her, but I think Rachel has had more challenging and more exciting races in her career. To downplay Rachel is to not understand handicapping.

[Temple95]

I didn't realize Rachel set a new stakes record in this race. What a filly. So glad she is running as a 4yr old. So many fans and admirers.

This Jess Jackson is a clown.

This guy thinks he is a military commander moving pieces around on a map. If the stars don't align and the tooth fairy does not wave his magical wand, then his filly will not attend the "Race for the Ages".

Charles Cella should leave the purse at 5 million and let the coward and his trainer stay at home.

He didn't want to go out to Santa Anita and he doesn't want to show up at Oaklawn

Here's a guy running scared and its become laughable!

[sagerider2]

If you stop at 2:21 you can clearly see the difference, GGG's & RA's front legs are in the same position, but by GGG's head you can see she's already pulled her back legs up. While RA's are still on the ground pushing. This is why she should not run on fake surfaces, since most injuries are to the hind legs. The other horses run on their front legs, RA runs on her hind legs. This gives her a tremendous bio mechanical advantage.

[naynaynay7]

Rachel Alexandra is amazing! And I really enjoyed watching the video. :) It's a great tribute to a wonderful horse.

[rcherasaro]

sweet!
