Would make no sense whatsoever not to run him.
He's clearly the best of the boys this year. If it weren't for the filly entering the shortest of the Triple Crown races we would likely be looking at the first Triple Crown winner in over a quarter of a century.
Not run him? Silly.
Winning two legs of the Triple Crown and being a close second in the third is worth mucho buckos to the breeders.
They'd be outright crazy not to run him (barring injury of course).

Believe that Rachel Alexandra is done and off to the breeding barn. Mine That Bird may run, but I'm not convinced that he is a lock to win. In a likely slow paced race around two wide sweeping turns, his chances could be compromised and not be able to show that long sustained run that he did chasing fast early paced fractions in both the Derby and Preakness. I think his chances of winning will depend on who enters. But it's worth trying just for the purse money.
... i think Rachel will run 3 more times this year...belmont, then some race in late August and then the breeders cup....I think these new owners are nutz..but want to show her off for the sport....they need the sport to thrive to continue doing what they are doing and a superstar helps a ton...
