What the Nation is saying about the 2009 Mother Goose (G1)...

I know I will not be well liked for saying this, but you can ask anyone who knows me and they will tell you it is not about being liked for me, it’s about telling it straight. So here it goes, what the heck is with the West Coast double standard? Read More

  • tiznow · Blind Luck is a true champion and it's only mid year. I am not counting her out of HOY discussion. Especially with the male divisions at this point in the year. · 336 days ago ·

  • DeadHeat · Tiznow, nobody said she was not a special filly, but saying she is in the running for HOTY? We have horses like Awesome Maria and HDG who are both unbeaten this year. Rail Trip, Tizway, Sidney's Candy, and Twirling Candy are all capable of leading the male division with wins in their next starts. That is the biased. Yes, most of the males i listed are west coast but the females are both on the east and are unbeaten and dominant against their own sex. If any female should be in the discussion it should be HDG and AM. Another point of biased, RA loses two races to previous stakes winners then wins her next two, yet I heard many people saying there was no way for her to get HOTY. What is the differnce? Why is BL a vailid candidate and RA was not? · 336 days ago ·

By mid-summer it became clear that racing fans nationwide had a fever and the only prescription was Rachel Alexandra.  The fleet-footed filly made her first start since a win in the Preakness in the Mother Goose at Belmont Park on the last Saturday in July...Read More
A common question among racing fans today is: Can you make any money betting on Zenyatta and/or Rachel Alexandra today? The answer is tough and ultimately it will be no in most cases.  However, there might be some ways you can pick off a decent exacta or trifecta, but let’s first take a look an...Read More
  • GBeret · No money to be made on either when they keep going off at 1-10 or 1-20. Unless you make the right place or show bet in their races. And yes one of them can be beaten if both's connections would both do a little bending and make sure they finally end up together in a race. This is likely Zenyatta's last year for racing, and I can't imagine Rachael any more on top of her game as a 4 yr. old as she is right now at 3. With the sport hurting so bad for revenue right now, knowing that's the race everyone wants to see, it's got to be this year or not at all. Do they not realize the attendance and cash bonanza a race with both in it would be? Not to mention t.v. ratings going through the roof. So come on Jackson and Moss, man up and make this race happen. · 1047 days ago ·

Rachel Alexandra faced only two opponents in the $300,000 Mother Goose (gr. I) June 27 at Belmont Park but the sensational filly put on a dazzling display anyway, setting a stakes record while romping by nearly 20 lengths under Calvin Borel.Read More
