@Jemsters1 I LOVE Ray Ray but Zenyatta deserved it more she had more grade 1 wins :( I LOVE RAY RAY AND QUEEN Z and wish them both the best luck with their new foals!
-
What a fantastic horse... goes in with the big guys and whips their butts!!
Superb stuff...
-
@AllyKat1236 The faster the fractions on the front end, the easier it is for a horse to close into the pace at the end. And Rachel ran some swift fractions which helped Mine that Bird and Musket Man close so well.

@librascale28 Actually i believe they didnt want to run her because she was not good at long distances.
-
@PlaYah1979 But at the point in the race when Mine that Bird passed everyone, he was dead too...he was running just as hard as they were...so i admire him for putting in that extra at the end and leaving it all on the track. That is more admirable than taking the lead and just keeping it. Anyone can keep the lead, its another to overtake it from the back and win by a long shot when everyone believed you couldnt.

I still believe that is Calvin would have ridden Mine that Bird that day he would have won :(
-
@RHeatLightning I hate that kind of mindless logic...Everyone know Mine That Bird was no fluke...But don't say he would have won if he rode the rail...Rachel flew to the front in a field of 13 and said catch me if you can...And nobody could...I admire front end horses alot more..Usally closers
past a bunch of dead horses
-
If Mine That Bird had gotten the rail trip again he would've had her. What an amazing late charge yet again from the little work horse. He certainly was no Derby fluke.
-
In one way she just reminds me of Eight Belles... Just like the Kentucky Derby... Eight Belles won against 18 colts! But even though this was kinda different she still reminds me of Eight Belles in a way...

if her ownwe let her race in the kentucky derby she could be a 3ple crown winner

I love watching this race. I was there that day on the grandstand and so excited. I remember it all so vividly, the screaming fans, the anxiety, and I even found myself screaming for her at the end. I knew I'd seen greatness that day and none of us will likely see one like her again.
