THE INTRIGUE - The 140th running of the Travers didn’t feature Rachel Alexandra, who most believed at the time was the best 3YO of either sex, but the winners of the Belmont, Florida Derby, Lane’s End, Jim Dandy, Dwyer, Peter Pan, and Barbaro made up the field of seven.Read More

If you owned/trained Rachel, what would you do? · 125 days ago

  • mdracing69 · This seems like a great spot for the all-weather loving Hold Me Back. Would like to see him go on to the BC Classic if he uncorks a big effort at Turfway. · 136 days ago
