Rachel Alexandra
From AlexBrownRacing
Rachel Alexandra (foaled January 29, 2006) is a 3yo filly who has dominated her division in 2009. She won the Oaks so easily the day before the Kentucky Derby that many wondered whether she would have won the Derby the next day. Her Oaks performance was as spectacular a spectacle as we have witnessed in horse racing for a very long time.
Shortly after her Oaks win, Rachel was purchased by Jess Jackson and partner and turned over to trainer Steve Asmussen. Prior to this transaction Rachel was trained by Hal Wiggins. Calvin Borel remains her Jockey. Dominic Terry is her new exercise rider.
Since the purchase, Rachel Alexandra won the Preakness Stakes over Mine That Bird. Rachel Alexandra then skipped the Belmont Stakes. Her next start was the Mother Goose at Belmont Park. She romped: video of Mother Goose. Her next start was the Haskell at Monmouth on August 2. Again she romped: RACHEL ALEXANDRA - 2009 Haskell Invitational Stakes Her next start was the Woodward, on September 5th: Rachel to Face 7 Males in Historic Woodward. This was her first start against older horses which she won in gate-to-wire fashion: RACHEL ALEXANDRA - 2009 Woodward Stakes
Rachel Alexandra then took a break as the Breeders' Cup is not part of her plans for this year: Rachel 'Doing Great,' Ships to Ky. Tuesday She is scheduled to return in 2009 It's Official: Rachel Done Until 2010
