So the buzz this AM is still all Rachel Alexandra and she is worth every bit of noise. Not only did she blow away her male contenders in the Haskell on Sunday but she almost broke the track record IN THE SLOP held by Majestic Light and BET TWICE!!!! Check out the video of her race and see for yourself. I think she is one awesome filly.
Earlier in the day, the rain was horrendous and there were a number of mishaps on the track apparently blamed on the sloppy conditions. Many of the 37,090 spectators feared for Rachel's safety but in the end, no one could dispute the fact that she is the reigning queen of the track. Could she beat the older Zenyatta? A question that may not be answered since owner Jess Jackson vows not to let Rachel run in the Breeder's Cup and Zenyatta does not seem to be making any plans to come east.
So will Rachel blow them away once again in the Travers at the end of the month? Stay tuned. In the meantime, will Rachel become the heroic icon that say Seabiscuit was? Has she captured the general public's imagination or is her fan base confined to the racing world? Let me know what you think.
