PixiePoet, I'm not able to post on Fan site, so wanted to let you know I too appreciate the updates on Rachel A. I just read yours and mvlach77 opinion on her poss races June 12, thanks for the info. I'm surprised at S. F. as a poss. Thought they'd wait until she's fully 'back' before taking on colts. I'm all for making it easy as poss for her right now.
Rachel is such a beauty.....her many adoring fans are very excited to see her race again. I hope they pick the race that suits her best, they are considering a few for Sat, June 12.
Looks like RA is starting to get back to peak fitness judging by her last 2 works. Let's hope she can regain her 09 form and make it to the Breeders Cup......RA, Quality Road and Zenyatta would be a great contest
@ Kulaness: Zaylana is indeed "duhru4real". He sent me a (not-so-nice) private message indicating that. I blocked him, but he made up another name to make a comment here. I would erase all his comments but you and others made great arguments I left his comments there so they could read the good points in your rebuttal
zaylana get a life. when you have nothing better to do than to sit here and bash a horse on a youtube video that's when you seek therapy.
as for Rachel's la troienne Rachel wasn't beaten in that race, she still had some in the tank from what I could see. They were trading leads all down the homestretch, a brilliant run for both, it was just Unrivaled Belle's turn on the lead when they hit the wire. Another 1/16 of a mile it might have been different. that's just my analysis.
just read Bloodhorse after watching the race on xpressbet. The article says RA nipped at the wire by a nose. Watch the race. She was beating by almost an entire head. What the hell are these bloodhorse writers smoking today?
stick a fork in her....SHE'S DONE !!! Like I've written so many times before. This horse is a glorified miler who will NEVER win at a classic distance. Hell, she may never win another race again. She just lost in another stretch dual. Did anyone notice the fractions? They were crawling out there. .48 for the 1/2 mile and she still couldnt put away the Unrivaled Belle. Zen would have anhiliated this horse !
@zaylana ...stick the fork in her....that´s what you would like to do....you really are a racehorselover....Zenyatta doesn´t need fans like you to try to protect her in this ugly way, she can speak for herself ...on the track...
Thanks so much for this video!! What a treat!! I'm so excited for Rachel A's race on Friday. I hope she proves to be back in top form. She is my favorite horse, no matter how she runs I'll think that way. Go Rachel Alexandra!!

I am so happy she is racing again!
Why do they still have that Figure 8 on her? I saw the still picture in the Thoroughbred Times and another poster asked the same question.
I can't see the reason for it being on so close to a race. I hope they remove it on Friday.
