Title: Hypothetical for Rachel in 2010
Post by: smalltimer on November 16, 2009, 04:34:50 PM
JB (and others)

Assuming Rachel is still sound and remains sound throughout the 2010 season, what type of campaign would you map out for her, assuming the ultimate goal was the Classic at CD in Nov?

Where would you run her, how often would you run her and why?

Would you consider Dubai like  Curlin\'s campaign ending at the Classic?  

If you started with Dubai and ended with the Classic and mixed a few well spaced races in between, you think she could generate $10M in one year?

Thanks

Dubai has gone synthetic, they won\'t run there.

I\'ve got a pretty good older mare (Luna Vega), also trained by Steve, hope they keep Rachel against boys. It\'s going to be hard to stay out of handicaps until the fall, though.
