No way.
DRF|Reflecting on Rachel Alexandra's next chapter
Quote:
Scott Blasi, who has been with Rachel Alexandra nearly every day since she joined Steve Asmussen’s barn in May 2009, said Rachel is tentatively scheduled to be shipped to Churchill Downs on Tuesday.
“We’ll let her down a little bit there,” Blasi said. “We haven’t made any plans yet to get her to the farm. She’s done going to the track. We’ll walk her a few times a day, and take her off her vitamins and stuff. Without her being in training, she won’t need the quantity of feed she’s used to getting, but we’ll do it gradually.”
Sometime in the coming weeks, Rachel Alexandra will board a horse van at Churchill not bound for another racetrack but for the Stonestreet Farms of Jess Jackson and Barbara Banke, on Old Frankfort Pike in Lexington. Substitute paddock turn-outs for 1 1/2-mile gallops. Instead of rivals on the racetracks, there will be field companions. No more racing boys, but mating with them: A date with Curlin has been scheduled for the upcoming breeding season.
