I'm sure some of you saw the race on ESPN.

Zenyatta improved her record to 19-0 in her last race in front of her Hollywood Park crowd.

Now she will go and try to win her 20th and final race at the Breeders Cup Classic in Churchill Downs on November 6th.

BTW, she won that race last year becoming the first filly/mare to do so. However, she will try to win this race on the dirt course and put to rest the limited number of skeptics.

I'll get a video of today's race when one becomes available.

I saw Rachel Alexandra racing the weekend of the Traver's Stakes in Saratoga Springs. She was a 2-5 favorite that race and lost to a 20-1. The day was pretty much dedicated to Rachel. They gave everyone Rachel Alexandra pins as they entered and everything.

Before then I had questions as to which horse was better... but now I think there's no question that Zenyatta > Rachel Alexandra

IMO it was never a contest, Zenyatta was always better. But that doesn't mean Rachel wasn't good and it was really sad to her flame out this year and retire.

The lasting image I'll have of Rachel.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
