Jess Jackson Sticks to his Guns

Jess Jackson told the Associated Press this week that despite the Breeder’s Cup raising the winner’s share of the $5 million Classic from $2.7 million to $3.7 million, Rachel Alexandra will not participate. “Rachel already has completed a brilliant long campaign,” Jackson told The Associated Press. Jackson cites his strong distaste for synthetic surfaces as the reason he does not want the Medaglia d’Oro filly to run over Santa Anita’s Pro-Ride track.
