Another grade D softie that Rachel beat humiliated @ 2-to-5

Friesan Fire, no less than the favorite entering the first leg of the weak 2009 Triple Crown has his ass handed to him at Fairgrounds on Thursday.

40-cents on the dollar and could only top the two longest shots on the board in a dismal effort.

Oh, come on. Friesian Fire's performance is off a long layoff and surgery. It's not conclusive, really.

Watched the race live today. Just couldn't accelerate in the lane. I'll give him a race or two..

2-5 was crazy IMO. The winner is a nice horse and was the correct bet..

Another Rachel loss (every time an opponent of Rachel's doesn't do well, it's going to be spun into a Rachel loss). Maybe we need another Parade in Zenyatta's honor.

Talking about resumes and the killers Zenyatta beat, I guess she lost a few herself recently:
Gambler's Justice, who hasn't won a race this year, was good enough to almost score in allowance company yesterday (finished 2nd).
Allicansayis Wow finished 5th in the Grade 2 Oak Tree Mile S.
Whatsthescript, who hasn't managed a win this year, finished 8th.
Made for Magic did manage a second on turf in an allowance race in November.
