Rachel Alexandra....I'll be the sucker

[GoSooners]

I like the horse. I just don't like the odds. The problem is the Preakness as a rule doesn't usually have big payouts on their race. I can only recall a couple times in the past 10 years that we had a good payday from a halfway decent longshot coming in.

if u like ra, why not box exacta with the field?

Hahahahahaha..... Easy $$$$$$$$$$$$$$

9-5 on a bet that has almost 0% chance of hitting? That's disappointing.

Enjoy the race.

Nice call.

Awesome! Nailed it. Also put a wager on Musket Man to show.

0% chance to win, :lol:

Funny how people were questioning this horse. She is something else. I am very excited to be getting a $5.00 plus payout on this horse. Like I said anything could of happened in this race, but the Preakness is a speed race and she is a very fast horse.

Way to stick to your guns Box. I told myself all week that if I got even money or better I was just gonna go 100 W/P and not screw around with the exotics. But of course I only played tri's and ex's in the end and missed every which way underneath.

Great call.. Great filly

congrats boxer

Thanks Joey.

She is unreal.

It's called experience. When you been around the horse racing block long enough, you know when a horse has no chance of winning a race. RA has no chance of winning this race.

dont feel too humble sekrah because im feeling the blues myself and want to congratulate all the winners today with rachael and she definitly made history today

shake this race off and go on to tomorrow's card is what my motto is

Boxer congrats...was with you all the way and also hit the exacta with 13/all.

Wow guys, you were obviously right about the odds you were able to get on her. I didn't think any way the public would let her go off much more than even, but I was dead wrong. Now wonder what she will be in the Belmont....

RA will be under close supervision in Kentucky. Watching her every move and what weight she lost in the Preakness race... how fast she gains it back.,,etc.

Will she go to Belmont stakes? I don't know. IMO she has nothing to prove.

Question is ... Will Calvin Borel be riding in the Belmont Stakes ?

And if so, on what horse ?

Calvin is the only shot there is for a Triple Crown this year.

Some dream that must have been about getting 9/5 on her huh? She will be nothing in the Belmont because she isn't going to run in it.

Save with the 9.

Funny how this is his last post.

 

[Boxer22]

The obvious news was released today. RA will not be running in the Belmont.
