Default Rachel Alexandra and Sea The Stars

Take these 2 horses since the start of May. Brilliant!

1st May - Rachel wins the Ky Oaks by an easy 20L.
2nd May - Sea The Stars wins the 2000 Guineas by 1 1/2 lengths from Delagator with a trio of G1 winners behind.

16th May - Rachel takes on the boys in the Preakness and beats the Derby winner et al by a fast diminishing length.
6th June - Sea The Stars steps up half a mile to win the Derby by 1 3/4 lengths from Fame and Glory.

27th June - Rachel beats 2 rivals by 19 3/4 lengths and more in the Mother Goose.
4th July - Sea The Stars takes on older horses for the first time and wins the Eclipse by a length from Rip Van Winkle with a BC Turf winner 5 1/2 lengths behind.

2nd August - Rachel takes on the boys again in the Haskell Invitational and beats Belmont winner Summer Bird by 6 lengths.
18th August - Sea The Stars takes on 3 Coolmore horses in the Juddmonte International and beats Mastercraftsman by a length in record time.

5th September - Sea The Stars takes on 5 Coolmore horses in the Irish Champion Stakes and beats Fame and Glory and Mastercraftsman by 2 1/2 and 5 lengths respectively.
5th September - Rachel takes on all comers and becomes the first filly to win the Woodward beating Macho Again by a head.

Its been a privilege to see both horses in the flesh. Those that were at Leopardstown and Saratoga yesterday know they were witnessing a true superstar.

Now if only there was a race where both of them could race against each other???
