Do you think Rags to Riches would have had a chance if she hadn't gotten hurt?

Question

Why or Why not.

Answer 1

Certainly.  Aside from the race when she got hurt, she has beat everything.  I think she'd especially have an advantage over this wet track...  she ran the Kentucky Oaks over an off track and beat a great group of fillies.  I know she lost to Lear's Princess, but Pletcher believes she got hurt at the top of the stretch... Rags already had the lead and her leg must have hurt so she probably let up a little bit... and Lear's Princess is a great horse too...  without the injury, I'd say Rags wins that race.

This is an amazing group of fillies this year... and colts... we're really lucky to have this group of horses this year...  Rags would CERTAINLY have had a CHANCE to win the Distaff and would probably have gone off as the favorite with a likely win.

Answer 2

ABSOLUTELY!!!!

She proved herself in the Belmont the best filly!

She fractured her leg in the Gazelle that caused her to lose it.

But a factor in the way is that the Belmont may have taken somthing out of her.

But I still love her sooooooooooooo much!!!
