Imagine the horror of that. After Ruffian's match race, I could never wish to see another. Let them run both in a real race, together, but not the 2 against each other.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-934167006275624061.post-3846937490558191412009-09-03T11:43:44.912-07:002009-09-03T11:43:44.912-07:00According to the 'old timers' logic it wou...According to the 'old timers' logic it would be Rachel Alexandra all the way from the gate. Regardless, I believe it would be Rachel Alexandra that would win. That doesn't stop me from wanting to see the race. If Zenyatta senses the power of Rachel, she might be more inclined to up her performance level. At any rate, James McIngvale's offer of a $2 million dollar purse for a race between the two might be the deciding push needed for the race to actually occur. With the loser getting $800,000, I don't believe there is any reason not to race.D.S. Williamsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14225880634400314301noreply@blogger.com
