What the Nation is saying about the Mother Goose...

Nothing can compare to the fire that Rachel Alexandra sparked in 2009. The passion she stirred was incredible, and even in retirement, she still manages to bring forth love and compassion from her fans.Read More

  • dani.pugh · I never said she was better. I said she had fight. She always did have fight, no matter when winning or losing. No matter if it was on the track or no in retirement. The point was not to say she was better, which i never did, it was to highlight that she is a fighter and always has been. If you wish to debate merits do it somewhere else, start your own thread if you like. But this is not the article for it. Have a good day. · 96 days ago ·

  • annmatt · Thank you, thank you, thank you for the update on Maclean's Music! Loved the pix of Racel and Taco. Now, can you find out what the status of Fly Lexis Fly is? Last I heard he was in training with Neil Drysdale in California. It had been reported he was being trained for the Belmont, but there was never a mention about him during the TC run. · 331 days ago ·

  • BrianZipse · Glad you enjoyed, annmatt! Fly Lexis Fly had very minor setbacks that forced Drysdale to slow down with him, but the good news is he has been working out regularly now for the past month, including a six furlong work on Thursday. · 331 days ago ·

  • kay.robinett · Why was the distance of this race - only 9 furlongs to begin with!!!! - cut??? And why was it allowed to keep its graded status after being cut? · 333 days ago ·

  • AndyScoggin · kay, cutting distances is the way things are in racing now. I am not a big fan of the cuts. Since 2003 the CCA Oaks was been reduced from 12 furlongs to 10F and is now 9F. Graded status rests more on the level of competition in a race than a change in distance. · 332 days ago ·

  • 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. · 695 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? · 695 days ago ·

  • KyOaksRunner · I think Joyful Victory should be able to handle the Mother Goose with ease, if she doesn't than she's not as good as I think she is. I'm also really looking forward to seeing Daisy Devine, though on TV and not in person, she's a wonderful filly. I picking Zazu to win the Hollywood Oaks over Plum Pretty for a couple of reasons. I actually think she'll like the smaller field and will be sitting closer to the "pack" than usual which won't leave her as much to do in the stretch, and also she 's very familiar with Hollywood Park. I don't think the Kentucky Oaks showcased her best. · 699 days ago ·
