Triumphant Rachel Alexandra returns to Saratoga
SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. — The trainer of horse racing’s biggest star says it’ll be two weeks before a decision is made on Rachel Alexandra’s next start.
The filly was back at Saratoga Race Course on Monday, a day after beating the boys a second time in the Haskell Invitational at New Jersey’s Monmouth Park.
Trainer Steve Asmussen says “we’ll see how she acts on the track. With Rachel, she is the topic of conversation all the time.”
Among the races under consideration are the Travers on Aug. 29, the Personal Ensign on Aug. 30 and the Woodward on Sept. 5. All are at Saratoga.
Rachel Alexandra beat Belmont Stakes winner Summer Bird by six lengths in the Haskell. She also beat the boys in the Preakness on May 16.
