Four year later, Rachel Alexandra’s Oaks still boggles the mind

As the Kentucky Derby of 2009 approached, the trainer of my top ranked three-year-old made it clear that the horse’s owner had no interest in running his star in the Run for the Roses. I was disappointed that Hal Wiggins was so matter of fact in relaying the adamant wishes of Dolphus Morrison, but i...Read More

Sully · I do not get these analogies base on past experience. If Verrazano won by 10, everyone would be all over him and he probably wouldn't do crap in the derby because he did so much in the prep. Now a horse does all he has to and still dominated by my eye, and Castellano made the right choice for the horse that finished 2nd? I'm honestly enthusisatic for a Verrazano TC because of this. Here's to making history! · 60 days ago ·
