The Jersey Shore is unlike any other place on earth. Big hair and sub shops. Speedos worn by guys named Vinnie and mini golf. Traffic on the Parkway and slices on the beach. Skee ball and teeny-weeny bikinis. It takes someone special to thrive in these type of surroundings. Bruce Springsteen comes to mind ... and now we have Rachel. Get ready Jersey Shore-ites, Rachel is back! The Haskell was the only race where she faced the top three-year-old male of 2009, Summer Bird. It proved to be no contest. Rachel ran away from Summer Bird that day as if he was just another jersey-bred hoping to cash a second place check. Calvin Borel gave a twirl of the whip at the top of the stretch, and “poof!” she was gone. In winning the meeting of soon to be champions by an easy six lengths, Rachel did the Jersey Shore thing that day the likes of which has not been seen in many a day. It is only fitting that she should make a return engagement to Monmouth and give her Garden State fans what they have been waiting for since 12 months before. With the field for the Lady’s Secret coming up decidedly weak, it is not so much a question of whether our heroine will win, but rather how she will do it tomorrow. What will we see? A winning margin of 10, 15, 20 lengths? A time even faster than the 1:47 1/5 she ran in the Haskell? Expect a show, I know I do. Rachel does New Jersey II … do not miss it! |

93 and Sunny for the afternoon.
Just so you know..teeny weeny attire is improper for Monmouth's family atmosphere. Try clean and casual.
Speaking of subs, have you tried Luigi's on Oceanport Avenue? (Just north of the Grandstand Parking lot).
Must give free lip service while I can. :P
You picked out the teeny-weeny bikinis, and not the speedos worn by Vinnie to complain about??? LOL. I was going more for the Jersey Shore area, rather than inside the friendly confines. I am a Danny's Subs man myself.
Who does your typesetting? LOL - much better!
Expect her to win, geared down by a MINIMUM of 10 lengths in what is really a paid workout!
I was reading that there are a few front runners in here, that will be all rubber legged at the end- so maybe more like 20.
And EW!!! Vinnie's in Speedo's!! I could've lived my entire life without that visual!! LOL
My typesetter is actually Vinnie down by the Shore.
now Zatt's funny!!
