In the Sprit of Rachel Alexandra. . .

She beat the boys--so much for my great handicapping skills! I love the track announcer's comment, "In the spirit of Rachel Alexandra," Havre de Grace becomes only the second female to win the Woodward. Quite an accomplishment.

It is, however, a long way to Horse of the Year. If she wants those honors, she will have to beat the boys, flat out in the Breeder's Cup Classic--at least that is what I think. And in other news, Animal Kingdom has been cleared to resume training.

So it should be an interesting fall of racing.
