What were everyone's thoughts on the Woodward?

Really looked like Rachel was beaten at the top of the stretch. Really showed some heart there. I hope they give her a much deserved rest now.

I had a $20 Double Pyro/Macho Again I was running to the window at the top of the stretch. Still a great race anyways!

Really gutty effort to hang on there after setting some very lively early fractions. It reminded me of Holy Bull's win in the Travers back in '94.

What's kind of ironic here is that the race would've set up perfectly for Zenyatta yesterday. If she had been entered, i think she would have won. Huge missed opportunity there.

Rachel laid it all out there yesterday. That is the guttsiest performance i've seen by any horse. I never got to actually see all the greats you ppl talk about, just horses like SJ, SS, HS, Afleet A, Barbaro, Bernardini, Invasor, and Rachel.
