I didn’t know where to put this …Todd paying a visit to two of his former champs, Rags and Mo

Rags is still beautiful, and underrated. Her Belmont still gives me chills

Rags looks so sweet in those pics. Wonder if old age has made her kinder.

Was she not a sweet filly? I do recall long ago that she actually acted like a colt ….

me too! As long as I have been watching horse racing, I have never to this day, seen Todd Pletcher get emotional over a horse winning a race, as he did when Rags won the Belmont!!! That was a momentous race-- I mean she beat Curlin for goodness sakes- I think she is underrated!!!! love her!!!

I love seeing typically unemotional guys losing it, lol

I’m getting chills just thinking about the race …think I’ll watch it again now!

Rags vs Curlin is my favorite race I’ve ever seen in person, and that counts American Pharoah and Zenyatta. She shut up so many jerks in the stands that day, and it was absolutely special to watch. Pletcher’s first TC win of any variety, right? So definitely an emotional event, but great to see it revisited. Thanks for posting it, and for the reminder!

Oh wow, you were there?! I can’t even imagine how incredible an experience that was - the stands must have shook!

Yep, first TC win. Seeing him pump his fist so excitedly makes me so happy, lol

For years I kept an envelope full of articles on the race, only getting rid of them when I moved 2 years ago

You’re very welcome!

Here’s the race - what a call!

Thanks for posting the link! what a great call! what a race. brought tears to my eyes

Awesome to see Curlin and Rags emerging from the group of horses giving everything they had to give
and the courageous beautiful filly won that race!!!!!! I am sure when Todd saw Rags stumble he probably thought the race could be over for her---- One of the best races in horse racing history!
