Upset?
Only in a handicapping sense, not so as a parimutual event. If Rachael was to be defeated, then this was the race. And only one horse in this field has credentials to do it. That is assuming one decides to bet the race.
Reinforcing my decision was the "trainer" talk that preceeded the race, in this case her trainer lamenting the fact that they had missed some training due to all the rain in New Orleans this winter, that coupled with their earlier indecision about running in the Apple Blossom Stakes raised some interesting questions for me. And remember it was their choice not to participate in last years Breeders Cup, again accompanied with a plausable rationale. That was a remarkeable record Rachael compiled last year, but I believe it came at a price.
This may be the time to bet against her; don't mortgage the homestead but do bet a few dollars.
