Way NFR--does anyone know how the other owners at the Preakness could have blocked Rachel.....

Alexandra(YAY) from running in the Preakness? But then there was such an outcry that they backed off. I know this is a food forum but you guys are the only ones I thought to ask. Must be someone in this special group who could explain.

Thank you Mistral. I thought it was something like that, but this explains it thoroughly. If her

former owner hadn't been so prejudiced, she "could have been a contender"
