Rachel Alexandra pic w/her pasture buddy Hot Dixie Chick
 
I just heard about this new FB photo of Rachel hanging out in the pasture with her new pal, Hot Dixie Chick: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fb...12319645455986

Then I saw this 2010 shot of Rachel in the snow a few pics back: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fb...12319645455986 Looks like you'll be able to have appointment viewing of Rachel at Stonestreet once a month in all likelihood. What was the arrangement Lane's End has with Zenyatta? I assume you can't just go in and see her whenever because mares are dealt with differently, but it sounds like they have a greater capacity for putting a mare on display than Stonestreet might since Lane's End expects to show off their stallions to prospective breeders and has facilities with that in mind, not to mention employees used to doing that. Stonestreet Farms has about 100 mares I think, but no stallions. I'm not sure if I've heard of them doing tours up to now. Has anybody been on one there?

Not wishing to start another Rachel topic. Just thought her fans would like to see 100 or more photos of Rachel taken through various stages of her career. What a filly!

It would be great if Rachael and Zenyatta shared a pasture together!:eek:

I'm not sure we could take it. It'd be like seeing a shot of Angelina Jolie standing next to Jennifer Aniston. A number of people would have their head explode. Given our niche status, I'm sure the sport can spare them.

I'd like to apologize for my inadvertent rhyme in the title. Oops. :o

Aww, I love Rachel. I wish her little one could inherit the brown snowball on her forehead. I love it. :)
