2007 Belmont Stakes - Rags To Riches

No, it did not start well for Rags to Riches, or for that matter the filly's jockey, John Velazquez, or her trainer, Todd Pletcher. She stumbled out of the gate for the 139th running of the Belmont Stakes, and for a heart-in-your-throat moment, Velazquez and Pletcher had a simultaneous and bitter thought: Why did we do this? Why did we run this girl against the boys when history told us it was foolish?
Two minutes later, however, Velazquez had Rags to Riches eyeball-to-eyeball with the Preakness champion, Curlin, and Pletcher was on his feet in a clubhouse box, his heart thumping in his chest, his voice uncharacteristically growing louder.
"Come on, baby! Come on, baby! Come on, baby!" Pletcher cried, his voice growing more urgent with every stride.
He is a placid man by nature, and a humbled one when it comes to Triple Crown races. He has been the nation's leading trainer three years running, but before yesterday he had saddled 28 horses in the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness Stakes and the Belmont, and had not visited the winner's circle.

This is one of the greatest races of all time. She stumbled, she went wide, she faced pressure from champion Curlin.. and she still pulled through. What a magnificent filly with so much heart.

[@iheartpanic00]

I agree. She is an underrated filly and I will always ❤ her

To me, just as amazing as Rags to Riches outlasting Curlin was how both of them kept up their speed while other horses were failing one at a time behind them. Not an easy feat. Two of the greats for sure!

[@digitalistca4629]

The pedigree of this horse is something else. Blood line includes AP Indy, Seattle Slew, Secretariat and even Northern Dancer.

[@canefan17]

Insane

[@richfairclough123]

Most horses have a load of fantastic stallions in their bloodlines... look at any shoddy claimer and you’ll see. It really matters more if they are related closely through the mare...

[@bconigliaro]

@Smogger911 Hey, cretin. You're confusing the magnificent Northern Dancer with the magnificent Native Dancer. True, Native Dancer was the sire of Northern Dancer's dam. But both of the Dancers were sound horses. The fragile horse problem may have started with Native Dancer's magnificent son Raise A Native. Unbeaten as a two-year-old, he was retired due to a bowed tendon. And that bloodline is found in a staggering number of horses. Native Dancer and Raise A Native are two of the most important sires in racing history but not quite at the level of the greatest of them all, Northern Dancer. He's denoted among Chefs-de-Race as [BC]. For the cretinous like you, that means Northern Dancer's line is rated Brilliant for speed and Classic for stamina. Why don't you do some homework before you spew garbage and lol like a 13-year-old girl?

[@goforwand31]

@Smogger911 Early peaking 2yos? I guess you never saw how many of his progeny have won DISTANCE races in Europe and elsewhere around the world. One of his sons is the last European TC in fact. His offspring could run a variety of distances and surfaces. What's destroyed the industry is breeding to the likes of Mr. P and Storm Cat who got early speedsters but not much else. Look at what's in the industry today. Most don't even finish their 3yo careers, much as less make 10 lifetime starts.

[@bon1042]

@@richfairclough123 Yes, learning from reading, turns out that the top broodmares called "blue hens", are the foundation of a great breeding operation. AND, turns out, Secretariat turned out to be a top broodmare sire, taking after his maternal grand sire, the glorious Princequillo. His story, sired in France, taken to England when the Nazis were about to march into Paris, and on to Ireland where he was born, then brought over to the U. S. across the Atlantic which was infested with German U-Boats !!! No wonder he had great bone, strength AND stamina. He arrived a baby looking like he had been put through a wringer.

@Josef Copernicus uh, no, Secretariat = GOAT. If not for a busted timer at the Preakness he would hold undisputed records in all three triple crown races.

[@cag2012]

Put another way, Secretariat finished the Belmont in 2:24 , which will likely never be beat. Justify in 2:28.18 and Rags to Riches at 2:28.6. So if they had all raced together, Justify and Rags would have been fighting for second place, and if Rags had had a better break and trip around the track she would have had a shot against him. But her great-grandfather would have beaten them both soundly.

[@iheartpanic00]

[@Chrisoula17]

I agree with you. Curlin is a great racehorse and an awesome sire. His children are making him proud on the track. Rags really did hang in there and she beat him along with all the other colts. When I say “put him away” I meant that she simply beat him or left him in her dust. I wasn’t implying that he lost by a large length. And while we’re on the subject Rags beat Curlin like Billie Jean beat Bobby Riggs.

Did they not watch the Kentucky Oaks that year? She DESTROYED those poor fillies. She more than earned her spot in the Preakness. I remember hearing some trainers were attempting to pay and prevent her from getting the final post position for nothing more than pure intimidation. They knew she was that good and so they did not want her there. Hilarious to watch their worst fears realized and to put some salt in that wound, ends up being the first filly to win the Preakness in 80+ years. I highly doubt RTR did anything for a horse that was put to sleep 29 years before she foaled. Or am I missing something. Did she give an acceptance speech after winning and mentioned Ruffian?

I don't understand how the Belmont ruined Rags to Riches. Its not uncommon for fillies to only have one really good season usually when they're 2 or 3. After age three a lot of fillies going on mares no longer have a desire to race because of hormonal changes. That is also part of the risk in racing/buying fillies. But then you have mares like Zenyatta who have successful 3, 4, 5, and 6 year old seasons. It just depends.

Maybe someone can explain the weight difference issue to me. It's in place to remove the natural physical advantage of male over female horses, no?
