Preakness
17 May 2009
It gave coverage of her and Mine That Bird so we didn't have to relive the Preakness with Barbaro ad nauseum. Yes accidents happen - it's tragic and heartbreaking. Some within the industry callously suggested Rachel shouldn't run because of Eight Belles last year and Go For Wand's breakdwn. That's like saying the colts shouldn't run because George Washington and Barbaro broke down so therefore all are unsound waiting for an accident. There have been other fillies in the Classics that did well - Winning Colors, Genuine Risk, Rags To Riches.
