Keep trying to beat the boys?

What races would you target if you owned Rachel Alexandra?

I'd run her in anything not synthetic. Boys, girls, whatever. Bring it on... just not on the tires where she'd be normalized.

If I recall correctly, she has a Keeneland race that is very good, so I am not so sure that surface matters with her

I doubt that Assmussen goes against older this early, it would have to be August/September/October which would mean these possible races

8/2 - Go for Wand
8/30 - Personal Ensign
9/12 - Ruffian
10/3 - Beldame
