New Poll, Is Cross Entering Eight Belles Fair?

Thanks to all who voted in the R2R legend poll… 24 of 44 GbG readers find Rags to Riches to be legendary with 13 thinking that she’s almost legendary and 8 thinking that indeed she is not legendary. We can all agree on one thing, she’s pregnant!

I was just tooling around Ye Olde Internet and noticed a lively discussion at Facebook in the Kentucky Derby group regarding the fairness of cross entering Eight Belles.

I hadn’t thought too much about assuming that if she draws a lousy a post and scratches that the next in line would assume her spot. I’m still a little unclear of the timing of the draw and when the field is set (i.e., if she scratches she hoses someone else), so if anyone can enlighten us, please do.

What do you think? Fair, not fair… do you think she can win?
