Terry kept her in the middle of the track at a slow gallop for the better part of the backstretch, as Rachel Alexandra seemed eager to get into gear, turning her head toward the inner part of the track. Terry allowed her to run in earnest between the half-mile pole and the three-eighths pole, and she worked to the wire.

The work was the first of what will be a series of weekly breezes for Rachel Alexandra, and pleased Blasi.

"Dominic does a great job, a perfect work," said Blasi. "You have to trick her into going that slow. I asked for a touch slower, but it's physically impossible for her."

For Terry the work was Rachel's usual professional effort.

"Perfect as always," said Terry. "She was relaxed and steady. Covered the ground great and galloped out very nicely."
Yay!

I like the idea but it is a little pre-mature. She isn't done. Well, she may be but she isn't yet.

Seriously you must be kidding? Assuming the Z stands for the horse that only runs in Cali, needs a poly and turf horses to become a monster. So sorry Charlie but your going to be disappointed when the finish line comes this year. That is of course if the good connections choose to hook the HOY that is...

Can we make predictions on where and when this race will take place? Put up odds?

Remember Oaklawn Park? I believe her best speed figure to date and that is dirt.
It will be a good race. Probably at Belmont Park.
