Not sold on her??? Did u see the Oaks, the Preakness, The Haskell and Woodward? Your eyes were open weren't they LOL. She is now up there with Secretariat and how lucky am I to have seen them both in one lifetime? She is AMAZING!!!

Clueless to horse racing? Well I grew up on a breeding farm, I have worked as a jockey agent, a track handicapper and also worked for the Ragazin sheets. I personally know Steve and Calvin and have known them for over 15 years. So I would think I know a little bit about racing. Fillies are not brought back as much when they get older due to them losing interest into racing when they start going into heat. But, I could be wrong here DUDE.

@ZenyattaFanatic911 Zenyatta was allowed to show up at Saratoga when Rachel was at her peak(Woodward) but they didn't bring her. She was also allowed to show up at Belmont, but they didn't bring her either, they ran Zen in lesser races against the same nags. Why did Rachel always have to travel? It's over. Two great horses.

@ZenyattaFanatic911 And Zenyatta never showed up against anyone outside California for almost every race(ran against same horrible female fields everytime besides BC). Pretty easy schedule. Look at Cigars travel and Rachels travel and every other champions travel,etc,etc. Stop with this crap, its 2012. Appreciate the talent.

@Pasturelands2010 funny, she never showed up in the Apple Blossom...

did anyone know shes pregnant!!!???? i did!!!! Like this comment if you were at this race!!! I was!!!! I was like right where the guy filmed this.

@europeracing why do you keep posting the same EXACT thing on EVERY RA video? She's a great horse and ran some great races. I'm sure if they kept her with Wiggins, she would've had another stellar season this year. And honestly, I was impressed with Macho Again's drive. Zenyatta came to mind, to be honest. And Mine that Bird is also a great horse, and I KNOW he'll win another Grade 1. Watch some horse racing for once, and recognize the great horses when you see them.

[europeracing]

Of course its U-N-C-O-N-D-I-T-I-O-N-A-L...lo­ve for the Rachel Alexandra fans...

...because she can't win a Grade I anymore.

Rachel Alexandra was the most overhyped eastern-based press horse that I have seen since Easy Goer.

Here we have Macho Again breeding down in Venezuela because the Lexington, KY outfits wanted no part of him in the breeding shed, and you have a horse named "Mine That Bird" that will never win another Grade I event in his lifetime.

Keeping it real.

Just sayin...

@Kulaness THANK YOU!!! Why can't we like both of them?!?! Like I say whenever I hear that crap, I'm on Team Rachatta or Team Zenachel take your pick! LOLOL! :)

@Pasturelands2010 How funny, you know what, I don't even recall her running in the Apple Blossom, and I recall her losing to somewhat virtual nobodys in the La Troienne and New Orleans Ladies, and no different, Calvin was whipping the sh** out of her in there to no avail

[Pasturelands2010]

That's MY GIRL, RACHEL!! We are very proud of you, Rachel, dear! Keep it up! Don't let Zen's retarded fans get to you.. they are "special dolts" who deserve their own MENTAL WARD.. go, go, SUPERFILLY! Kick everybody's butts in the APPLE BLOSSOM!
