What kind of Borel is this?
IS HE OVERMINDED OR GREATEST JOCKEY OF ALL TIME

Ugh, if Borel wouldn't have dumped him for RA he would have caught her, and he still did a Win-Place-Show in the Triple Crown. I don't hate RA but I hate her connections and my heart will always be with a closer. They work so hard and if they don't get the right trip they won't win. Who dumps the Derby winner in favor of a rabbit stuck in the race to spoil the odds of a Triple Crown? It's just bad sportsmanship...but considering her owners it's not even a surprise.

As the Black Stallion books said, it's hardest to repel a challenge from behind. Rachel's an amazing horse.

say what ya want rachel haters, zenyatta is a legand , but RA has earned her place. Every triple crown winner tells ya the preakness is the tuffest and the race they worry about the most and rachel won that race. Nough said!

@horseygirlxoxo1000 sure, please have him to come to my farm and collect the award. If he "deserved to win", we dont need races. Just bookmaking can decide winners based on opinion polls.. LMAO!

@ishayabdancer well, another "if" and "but" response!

@ealaman62 Well RA excels at this distance wire to wire more or less. MTB was a longer distance horse, but there were also some trip issues for him here. However RA was absolutely phenom in this race, she won it fair and clear!
RA stumbled out of the gate and came from the outside of the track due to her post position - give her a break! She is simply the best - THE ECLIPSE WINNER!
