Awesome shot, would fit right into the pages of the Blood-Horse.

I'm not a big fan of Rachel, I'm much more of a Zenyatta fan. I wasn't a big Curlin fan either, I think it's the connections that put me of... Great horse none the less, but I never liked him.

I do appreciate that Rachel is an extremely talented horse and deserves just as much respect as Zenyatta. In light of her campaign last year, maybe even more. I guess I'm one of the few who can appreciate both!
I don't read forum posts or blogs about either horse anymore, because no one seems to be able to enjoy both and it inevitably leads to shouting matches and popularity contests. And both camps are missing out!

I do feel kinda bad for Rachel, I'm starting to think that maybe last year took too much out of her. Or maybe she's going the way of fillies like Stardom Bound, they just don't want to race anymore and their mind is on other things.

Actually this looks like the tiniest fraction of a second off of Coglianese's photo which was featured in the bloodhorse. Were you two standing next to each other?!

I believe Adam was a few more people down the rail, yes. We both like the same angle.

They're such an amazing team. I'm so glad they never took Calvin off her; it just...wouldn't have looked right! XD Thanks for the comment!

She is amazing. It is so hard for them to take the lead and not give it up. You're welcome.
