Dear Mark and Ahmed (Warning: Language)

(Note: Superfecta did something simlar, in writing a "letter" to Jess Jackson. And I appologize for the language.)

To read what Allen and Zayat are trying to convince Marylou Whitney to do here is the link

Dear Mr. Allen and Mr. Zayat,

First off, congrats on your win and second place finish in the Kentucky Derby. Mine That Bird and Pioneerof the Nile ran awesome races. While I agree with you that Rachel Alexandra should not be in the Preakness, and wait for the Belmont, I do think that you entering horses, just to keep her out is wrong. First to you Mr. Allen, the only reason why Mine That Bird won the race was because of Calvin Borel, not anything else. While I did not watch the Derby, Mr. Woolley should have been a bit nicer to the media, as the trainer of the Derby winner. However, I understand that horseman are not always the media friendly. Also I find that your father being connected to a convicted felon, Sen. Ted Stevens is fucking disgusting. Mine That Bird will not win the Preakness, even if Rachel doesn't get in.

As for you Mr. Zayat, of all people that would be wrong. Considering some of your horses are trained by Rachel Alexandra's new trainer, Steve Asmussen. Secondly, if you think Bill Mott or Bob Baffert would do such a thing is ignorant, these are two Hall of Famers who probley would be vilified for doing such a thing. And also do you really think D. Wayne Lukas, wants to get beat by 20 again. But then again, it is D. Wayne Lukas, but how dare you force Mrs. Whitney's hand in entering a horse into the Preakness just to keep Rachel out. Look Pioneerof the Nile won't win the Preakness, as I hope my two picks Friesan Fire and Take the Points (If Rach doesn't get it in), run by them and give Larry Jones and Todd Pletcher a 1-2 finish.

I know neither of you care about what one fan thinks, but do the right thing and don't enter horses just to keep a super filly out. If it's overfilled, then fine, however if you do go ahead and enter more horses, just because. I will hope that Mine That Bird and Pioneerof the Nile, along with the other horses you enter, finish up track.

Sincerely,

Rachel A. Levine
A fan of Rachel Alexandra

A few other things, no my middle name is not Alexandra, it's Anne. Secondly, once again I appoligze for the little bit of language that is in this post. I'm fuming over this, and as I said in the "letter", while I don't think she should go to the Preakness, and wait for the Belmont. If this does happen, I really hope that both horses lose.

Edit: Ahmed Zayat will not enter a second horse into the Preakness. Lov Gov, Mrs. Whitney's horse however will go. It's interesting, he is not even by Birdstone, but yet she wants to promote him. With a horse whose by Ten Most Wanted, umm yeah, if it where a Stone colt I would agree. But Ten Most Wanted? Link

Edit (again): Mark Allen and Marylou Whitney will not enter their horses into the Preakness. Link Also to the person who left the explictive comment, that was my opinon not fact! I'm a fan, not someone who is in the horse racing bussiness. I know that it is a bussiness, but that doesn't mean I agree with it.
