I think Rachel Alexandra is a good bet @ 4-5 it will be a MAJOR upset if she does lose. I don't see her lose against this field she is in tremoudous shape and ready to run. Borel is just way to confident on this horse every single time he has rode her...I mean in the Preakness he said "Even if we went around again they still wouldn't have caught us." Rachel was changing leads and even after gallup out Mine That Bird still didn't pass Rachel. Borel knows this horse so well by now and really has never been tested in a long time.
But let's not get happy because I highly doubt anyone will be betting Rachel Alexandra. There is probably 0% chance that she will be 4-5 or higher. IMO she goes off 1-5 in this race there will just too much damn money bet on her. Everyone who won in the Preakness with her and every girl in the world will be jumping on board. I wish Borel came forward and let us know he has $50K to win LOL probably does.
Just one thing about Borel he is gonna get caught when he trys to pull a Dominguez trying to look under and give the horse a hand ride. Just like in the 07' Preakness the reason that Street Sense lost was because in deep stretch Borel thought he was home free and looked around and got caught by Curlin. Best thing to do that Dominguez does now is he looks at the TV screen. I hate the celebration before the race is over.
But I think it would be a huge
overlay on Rachel at 3-5 or higher...I know how crazy it sounds but this horse is a monster and won't lose. Plus you will never get another decent price on this horse. So this will be your last chance to jump on board at 4-5. But won't be that price so let's not get our hopes up. Just to watch the race @ 1-5 I will bet $100 and to cheer, but 3-5 or higher I will make a nice win ticket.
Also since I am in love with Rachel Alexandra and she made me plently of money Preakness day, I think she is the best horse and I really don't think she loses Sunday either way.
Gonna be great to watch Mine That Bird be dead last turning for home at Mountaineer...that stretch is sooooooooooo long and we are going to see a nice stretch by MTB plus good camera view they give you at Mountaineer.
