I know I'm really late to this coversation but here's something I have to say. If all of you guys are horse racing fan, especially one person. I wouldn't call Rachel ANYTHING. She has done what she has supposed to do and thats to run and do her best at everytime she races. She lost couple of races but she never place last. She placed 2nd 3 times in 2010 which is not bad. She didn't do anything to you to call her Overrated. She's a good horse and that's it. She had the heart to prove it.
lmao i havent watched a ra video in months and i still see duhru and his buddies still comment on her vids. it amazes me how stressed they got over zenyatta not winning hoty is it that important? who cares they are both great horses just be happy that sea the stars owners didnt bring him over last year to the classic cause the only horse that would have beaten him would have been ghostzapper in his prime in the last 10 years.
@tjjlm444 It's not fair to compare Turf horses with dirt horses. The past 2 BC's have totally discombobulated racing. Only the discombobulated keep arguing results that have little meaning. And we all know who they are.
The track this year is slow, It was ungodly HOT!! Rachel Rated nice, Rachel won. Her times are as good or better than some of the bigger races. Theyre taking CARE of her, Like they should for the Horse of 2009.
Some of you guys are the biggest retards I've heard. "Rachel didn't race anyone" LOL. Well, neither has any horse then. Neither has Zenyatta then. LOL. Both of these horses have beaten the best there is. What do you want them to do? Rise Point Given or Citation from the dead? They've beat who they've faced. Rachel has lost a few times, but she's posted more track record/near track record times than Z. Z hasn't lost yet. Both have beat stakes winning colts. Don't be such a retard.
You call everyone else retarded, yet you talk about rising Point Given from the dead and guess what "retard"...he is still alive and kicking!
And to comment about this race... Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Someone wake me up when Rachel finally races in a G1 or her owner grows a pair and races her against Zenyatta.
@BrianShaw23 And you are just another boring person on youtube who watches something that is boring to them. You remind me of the people who look up videos they hate, and then leave a comment how they hate that song. If I find something boring, I don't even think about it. Heres a hint, go watch Secretariat. Not boring at all.
@Saffron49 And you remind me of someone who needs to pull their panties outta their ass. I understand you must love this horse and will respond to anything that is negative about the horse and you'd probably do it all day long. Just watch. Fact is, this horses' races have become pretty boring she use to be a much more exciting horse but she's now a shell of her former self. This horse won't place in the Classic wait and see.
@BrianShaw23 Firstly, I don't really care if she wins the Classic.
I don't care if she is a shell of her former self. She is a horse, not a person. I love all animals, and all horses. I am sorry that she is not exciting you, maybe you could try a human. I think some people are attaching human emotions on to an animal. Hopefully, they will retire her soon, and she can live out the rest of her life munching on grass instead of being the sole entertainment for a bunch of humans.
@Saffron49 No need to be sorry, my point was not to take it so seriously, I said her race was boring I still like the horse, I care for animals I have 3 pets.
The problem and reason why people get angry at you duh is when you start calling them saps, stupid etc...How do you know know that some of these people know what they are talking about. Perhaps you are the one who can't handle criticism well and blow up at people. Even sadder you keep patrolling the same blogs over and over. No, it's not being a stalker you paranoid dork.
@whatthefuckubrat Because they are saps. Doesn't 'plastic','one more week','80%','90%','not fit',2 ungraded races, no grade 1 for almost a year makes YOU A SAP!!
It appears Steve A is (slowly) getting Rachel back to form. Rachel needed these non graded stake races. Now she is ready for a graded race. It nice for racing and RA fans that shes back. Well done team Rachel.
The elevation of Rachel Alexandra to all-time status in these posts is questionable, at best. A mere 3 years ago a 3 year old filly named Rags to Riches put together what forever will be the most powerful year a 3 year old filly has ever forged, topping it off with a victory over your (east coasters) beloved Curlin in the MILE AND A HALF Belmont Stakes. Do you actually think RA is anywhere near that level of race horse? A rhetorical question. No need to answer.
WELL DAMN, HOW DID I MISS ALL THIS ??? I'm in all caps for the pure amazement of the debate. Hello to all the usual suspects, and the new ones who have entered such a passionate debate.
I think people on both sides of the Rachel debate have things they can take from this race. If you're a Rachel fan (as I am) you like the 105 Beyer without having to use the stick. If you're a Rachel-basher (RB) or Angry Zenyatta Fan (AZF) then you can focus on Rachel beating inferior competition by only three lengths. There's something for everyone here.
Last year when she won more GI's than any other horse, you people said she was beating no one. It clearly does not matter whom she beats or where she races, some people will criticize her because they are idiots! Whether she breaks records held by Ruffian or nearly breaks track records held by Secretariat, it won't matter. Unless she beats ultra-weak Cali horses by a nose you all won't be satisfied.
@runimato What are you sorry for? That she clearly wasn't at a peak fitness level? I love how some people want to judge her based on an effort that does not reflect her real talent, a talent that allowed her to set record after record. Try commenting when she's healthy and fit. By the next race, when she still wasn't fit, where did Zardana finish? I think she is still running! That's like judging Secretariat by his loss to Onion when he was sick. Not reflective of actual talent!
@runimato Dude, if you knew duhru4real then you would blow up too. This guy is the one who needs Jesus. seriously. He won't let things go won't leave peeps alone
@duhru4real EXCUSE YOU, WE ARE ALREADY IN REALITY. PEEPS KNOW THAT THIS ANIMAL IS ONLY FLESH AND BLOOD. BOTH THE HORSE HAVE CONS IN THEIR CAREER AND THEIR NAMES ARE JESS JACKSON AND AMUSSEN.
@whatthefuckubrat And that's because you weren't here from the start. I have stated since last year that Rachel's last quarters are weak and would never hold up against top horses but these kool aide drinkers got upset and say it's basing Rachel. TOTALLY RIDICULOUS!!
@duhru4real No duh you have been pretty rude in your comments toward a horse. Started what? Being on YT? Stop with the kool aide crap. I've been on here since 04-just different troll accounts.
@duhru4real God do you spend your whole life trolling RA sites.
You have some serious issues to the point of obsession and stalking. This is as horse, not a person. She doesn't make decisions. She would rather be grazing and hanging out with other horses. You are all over the internet with your weird comments. You should steer clear of ALL horses. You are off the latch.
@Saffron49 NOTHING ABOUT MY WEIRD COMMENT. Her last quarters sucks and this year proved it and stop pretending she is this super filly. SHE IS NOT. the problem is not the facts the post, the problem is you people are just to stupid to realize it.
@Saffron49 I take that back. You are not stupid to realize it but too deeply involve emotional with a horse. YES LIKE YOU SAID THIS IS A HORSE but you newbies just can't take any criticism and think I am bashing her. If anybody is sadder than sad is you saps.
@duhru4real You are d isturbed. I have seen weird tirades on other sites from someone who uses the same language as you with regards to RA and comments.
Luckily RA has tight security because you sound obsessed to the point of spending most of your time trolling around the net leaving hateful comments about a horse.
@Saffron49 Why would I be obsessed with a FIVE TIME LOSER LIKE RACHEL. The only fact I am trying to present is she never was that good! This year is showing why HOY stands for HYPE OF the YEAR!! LOL
@duhru4real So why do you always come back to this loser?? Everybody knows your opinion...she is overhyped and overrated. All horses she beat are mediocre. She will never take on Life at Ten or Zenyatta. She will never run in a G1 again. She will never run a 10f race. She is at best GIII, she is Allowance-Rachel. She will never win a G1 again. She will be retired soon etc. Anything forgotten? You wrote this over and over and over again. There is no need to come back to this loser......
@duhru4real Facts?? You say you know what the future will bring? She will never run in a 10 f race is a fact ?? She will never take on Life at Ten is a fact ?? She will never run a G1 again is a fact? She will never win a G1 again is a fact???.......You know what will happen in the next months ??
These are only your personal "facts". They are in your brain. No facts, you are just much too emotional when it comes to the Rachel/Zenyatta conflict, getting angry, when people have another opinion...
@1devilfish2 Wait another hour or so. She shouldn't even be in this race. If she wins, they'll just force her to keep running. Her whole season is forced. She IMO would have been retired if the big mare didn't come back this year. Just imagine Rachel being retired while Zenyatta came back. The hooting and hollering toward JJ would be heard around the world.
@jermocide22 She shouldn't have come back PERIOD! Too bad Moss UNRETIRED ZENYATTA which forced JJ to keep racing Rachel. Like I said, she was good but not great and the reason for her avoiding the 2009 classic is obvious. They know she can't win that race on dirt, turf, synth or whatever. The plastic sounded good though lol
@jermocide22 Who's season was forced? Both horses season's were forced. In fact one should have retired having beaten males 3 times. The other should have retired unbeaten albeit vs females never having faced males much less facing them on dirt. This lugging one dimension horse has no chance on dirt vs G1 males. She will not race vs G1 males on dirt.
@justmyblindluck That OP race where Zenyatta was lugging horribly while beating Ginger Punch was probably GP's worst race in her career. A similar effort vs real competitors would probably have Zenyatta DQ'd. I'm telling ya Zenyatta is as lucky as she is good. And you know what they say: It's better to be lucky than good. When I think of Zenyatta I think sheltered, pampered, restricted, inconclusive, late coming ( meaning no 2-3 yr stakes races), swiss cheese of a career.
@justmyblindluck The only one who was really lucky was overrated overhyped Rachel. She busted into the scene when 2009 has one of the weakest ever 3 year old males and really sorry handicap division in Macho Again..WOW..talk about being lucky.
TOO BAD THAT LUCK HAS RUN OUT. Even Allowance type horses like Persistently is showing why RACHEL is WAY OVERRATED.
@duhru4real - Maybe Steve the Ass doesn't know how to condition a horse!....ever stop to think about the training, and conditioning?.....she was primed for her oaks race, and ran outstanding in 2009 because of MR.WIGGINS early conditiong. we saw what Steve the Ass did for 2010....so go blow smoke up someone else's ass you useless troll.
@duhru4real i can see why the rachel zealots feel this way. yes, she was undefeated in '09. yes she had an unpresidented campain. but we all know she dominated a weak 3 year old crop, and then she went from beating weak 3 year olds to beating an allowance caliber macho uno. lets give her credit she did her thing and i am not going to knock her talent, i dont care that she lost 2wice this year. after the personal ensign at 10 fs she will have ran out of excuses, this is make or break time.
@drfager01 I have nothing against Rachel. The filly is all heart beating the Macho Unos but even I would give her HOY. What I don't get is the insistance of a very few today that she was this super filly. She's not. that label is nothing but pure marketing genius by JJ.
@Saffron49 Apparently it doesn't get it. He then goes into his facts and can't criticism well back. LAst he posts 3-4 more comments about stupid shit.
@duhru4real Are you throwing a fit because RA is being towards a G1?? You should be happy as all get out. She is going to run in a 10F G1 race against Life at Ten. You have went off for over a year on how RA will not get 10F. This is your race to prove all your doubters wrong.
@kerkhoff1 Why would I throw a fit? It's not because she might run at 10 furlongs. What I question is why go from listed races to grade 1. Do you really believe she will be entered? C'mon Kerk, it's nothing more than more BS HYPE?
@duhru4real The reason they are going from ungraded to G1 is because it put her on a five week schedule, the same schedule that made her successful last year. Lady Secret->PE->Bedlame->BC all 5 week entervals. That is the schedule I believe she takes. The only way I see RA not entering the PE, is if they ship Z east. I dont think they want to face Z at RA first asking at 10F.
@kerkhoff1 OK Kerk I hear ya. Hopefully you are right but from what I have seen of Rachel, she has no business running in a GR 1 race let alone 10 furlongs.
@duhru4real Jackmussen's race choices for her are starting to really cause her reputation to take major hits. She was running pretty hard to beat a horse that has never started in a graded race and has won, what, $27,000.00 in her illustrious career?
@duhru4real WHO SAYS WE ARE SWALLOWING ANYTHING? YOUR ASSUMING LIKE YOU ALWAYS DO. I AM SURE THAT IS WHY 21 MADE THAT COMMENT BECAUSE PEEPS ARE TIRED OF THIS HORSE RUNNING IN CRAPPY RACES.
@duhru4real YOU SHOULD KNOW IT'S HORSERACING. ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN. THAT IS THE PT THOUGH, RUN HER IN A STAKES RACE NO ONE IS HAPPY, RUN HER IN GR I RACE NO ONE IS HAPPY.
Good race, with 107 degree heat index, won by 3 lengths easily to a very game Queen Martha , 105 BSF, on a track with slow times. I'm ok with running a race with the length and date they wanted, but I agree with 21Sarabi, time to step up the game now. I think she is ready for the Personal Ensign, ready for a challenge.
@Lindsikins00 Obviously this race was run in order to prep her for something bigger and better in the future, NOT to make a name for herself. I say, GO RACHEL GO! Onward and Upward
@Lindsikins00 THOSE ARE FACTS! SHE WAS RACED BEYOND HER COMFORT ZONE AND ABILITY. THAT IS WHY SHE LOOKED LIKE A LOSER AFTER THE 2009 WOODWARD. You can pretend this wasn't so but it was.
@duhru4real See that is the thing 21, Jerm kerk and whoever are talking about. You don't know when to let up with your comments. It isn't the horse that can decide a race it's the trainers. Did you know using your caps is showing aggression which is an emotion. You get a sick thrill by commenting back so many times and blowing up as well.
You see why Beyer figures are bogus. This race was pathetically slow. Yet she gets a beyer figure of 110 and Queen Martha gets a 105 this is a joke. Rachel would have problems beating Devil May Care, Life At Ten, Blind Luck, Evening Jewel. Time for Jess Jackson to either step up against quality fillies or mares or retire her. She has problems beating inferior competion. Zenyatta has nothing to fear from this horse. Rachel the paper champ.
@BrownBigBadLeroy Devil May Care is a beast! Agree with you 100% about the Beyer. Any horseman will tell you time only counts when you're in jail. Zen has run in races with fast paces, and slow paces and still comes motoring home like a Mack truck. Her last eighth of a mile scorches any ONE, at any PACE.
In a word, Pathetic. To have to run into an allowance level filly in Queen Martha, to get her to check, just to gain 3 lengths to the wire. Pathetic. If Rachel Alexandra run's in the Breeders Cup Classic? She will not even finish in the money. She'll be well beaten by Zenyatta, Quality Road, Blame, and likely some of the Euro contingent as well.
My oh my. I couldn't really tell from watching this video on my phone, but it looked like she had her ears pricked practically all the way down the homestretch. Awesome horse n well done to Queen Martha for running gamely as well.
basically a paid workout-didn't really answer any questions for me but hey--glad she won:) would have been nice to see quicker early fractions but in that heat this was probably the best scenario-i really cannot see any other race for her next but the P.E.--
@massi8183 She is waiting for the fraud that is where. If you think she can beat Zenyatta you are on drugs loser!!! Rachel is running against allowance fillies. What a joke.
@21Sarabi YOU PEOPLE ARE ALL DAYDREAMING...THERE IS NO WAY RACHEL IS GOING IN ANY SOLID G1 10 furlong RACE. SHE WILL BE EATEN UP BY LIFE AT TEN IF SHE GOES IN THE PE!!
@duhru4real Honestly what the fuck is your problem. Nothing this horse does is good enough. All I made was one fucking comment that they should run her in Gr I races again win or lose. But obviously running her in a Gr I race pisses idiots off. You have no life and have to reply to everyone who comments about the horse. Just back off.
Just an awesome horse... enjoy your well deserved maternity leave !

These are only your personal "facts". They are in your brain. No facts, you are just much too emotional when it comes to the Rachel/Zenyatta conflict, getting angry, when people have another opinion...

@1devilfish2 Wait another hour or so. She shouldn't even be in this race. If she wins, they'll just force her to keep running. Her whole season is forced. She IMO would have been retired if the big mare didn't come back this year. Just imagine Rachel being retired while Zenyatta came back. The hooting and hollering toward JJ would be heard around the world.

@duhru4real : Yes, her whole season was forced. She should've been brought back in May for her 2010 season. Then, all this BS wouldn't exist !!!
jermocide22 1 year ago
@jermocide22 She shouldn't have come back PERIOD! Too bad Moss UNRETIRED ZENYATTA which forced JJ to keep racing Rachel. Like I said, she was good but not great and the reason for her avoiding the 2009 classic is obvious. They know she can't win that race on dirt, turf, synth or whatever. The plastic sounded good though lol
duhru4real 1 year ago
@jermocide22 Who's season was forced? Both horses season's were forced. In fact one should have retired having beaten males 3 times. The other should have retired unbeaten albeit vs females never having faced males much less facing them on dirt. This lugging one dimension horse has no chance on dirt vs G1 males. She will not race vs G1 males on dirt.
justmyblindluck 1 year ago
@justmyblindluck That OP race where Zenyatta was lugging horribly while beating Ginger Punch was probably GP's worst race in her career. A similar effort vs real competitors would probably have Zenyatta DQ'd. I'm telling ya Zenyatta is as lucky as she is good. And you know what they say: It's better to be lucky than good. When I think of Zenyatta I think sheltered, pampered, restricted, inconclusive, late coming ( meaning no 2-3 yr stakes races), swiss cheese of a career.

@justmyblindluck You're the only late comer here. More than likely caught the Rachel hype at the Preakness and think your a horse player.
duhru4real 1 year ago
@justmyblindluck The only one who was really lucky was overrated overhyped Rachel. She busted into the scene when 2009 has one of the weakest ever 3 year old males and really sorry handicap division in Macho Again..WOW..talk about being lucky.
TOO BAD THAT LUCK HAS RUN OUT. Even Allowance type horses like Persistently is showing why RACHEL is WAY OVERRATED.

@duhru4real - Maybe Steve the Ass doesn't know how to condition a horse!....ever stop to think about the training, and conditioning?.....she was primed for her oaks race, and ran outstanding in 2009 because of MR.WIGGINS early conditiong. we saw what Steve the Ass did for 2010....so go blow smoke up someone else's ass you useless troll.

@duhru4real i can see why the rachel zealots feel this way. yes, she was undefeated in '09. yes she had an unpresidented campain. but we all know she dominated a weak 3 year old crop, and then she went from beating weak 3 year olds to beating an allowance caliber macho uno. lets give her credit she did her thing and i am not going to knock her talent, i dont care that she lost 2wice this year. after the personal ensign at 10 fs she will have ran out of excuses, this is make or break time.
drfager01 1 year ago
@drfager01 I have nothing against Rachel. The filly is all heart beating the Macho Unos but even I would give her HOY. What I don't get is the insistance of a very few today that she was this super filly. She's not. that label is nothing but pure marketing genius by JJ.

@duhru4real Are you throwing a fit because RA is being towards a G1?? You should be happy as all get out. She is going to run in a 10F G1 race against Life at Ten. You have went off for over a year on how RA will not get 10F. This is your race to prove all your doubters wrong.
kerkhoff1 1 year ago
@kerkhoff1 Why would I throw a fit? It's not because she might run at 10 furlongs. What I question is why go from listed races to grade 1. Do you really believe she will be entered? C'mon Kerk, it's nothing more than more BS HYPE?
duhru4real 1 year ago
@duhru4real The reason they are going from ungraded to G1 is because it put her on a five week schedule, the same schedule that made her successful last year. Lady Secret->PE->Bedlame->BC all 5 week entervals. That is the schedule I believe she takes. The only way I see RA not entering the PE, is if they ship Z east. I dont think they want to face Z at RA first asking at 10F.
kerkhoff1 1 year ago
@kerkhoff1 OK Kerk I hear ya. Hopefully you are right but from what I have seen of Rachel, she has no business running in a GR 1 race let alone 10 furlongs.

She's too good to run in anything but Grade 1s. They just don't want her to get beaten. But it cheapens her victories if she drops down in class.

Good race, with 107 degree heat index, won by 3 lengths easily to a very game Queen Martha , 105 BSF, on a track with slow times. I'm ok with running a race with the length and date they wanted, but I agree with 21Sarabi, time to step up the game now. I think she is ready for the Personal Ensign, ready for a challenge.

You see why Beyer figures are bogus. This race was pathetically slow. Yet she gets a beyer figure of 110 and Queen Martha gets a 105 this is a joke. Rachel would have problems beating Devil May Care, Life At Ten, Blind Luck, Evening Jewel. Time for Jess Jackson to either step up against quality fillies or mares or retire her. She has problems beating inferior competion. Zenyatta has nothing to fear from this horse. Rachel the paper champ.

@BrownBigBadLeroy Devil May Care is a beast! Agree with you 100% about the Beyer. Any horseman will tell you time only counts when you're in jail. Zen has run in races with fast paces, and slow paces and still comes motoring home like a Mack truck. Her last eighth of a mile scorches any ONE, at any PACE.

In a word, Pathetic. To have to run into an allowance level filly in Queen Martha, to get her to check, just to gain 3 lengths to the wire. Pathetic. If Rachel Alexandra run's in the Breeders Cup Classic? She will not even finish in the money. She'll be well beaten by Zenyatta, Quality Road, Blame, and likely some of the Euro contingent as well.
