Star filly Rachel Alexandra posts another workout

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. — Preakness-winning filly Rachel Alexandra has had another solid workout at Saratoga Race Course, although it’s still not clear when she’ll next race.

Rachel Alexandra worked five furlongs in 1:01.38 on Monday.

Trainer Steve Asmussen says three races are under consideration for her next start: the Delaware Handicap for fillies and mares on Sunday; the Coaching Club American Oaks at Belmont for 3-year-old fillies on July 25; and the Haskell Invitational at Monmouth Park on Aug. 2 against the boys, including Belmont Stakes winner Summer Bird.

Rachel Alexandra has won seven races in a row. Her most recent victory was by 19¼ lengths in the Mother Goose Stakes.
