What the Nation is saying about Rachel Alexandra...

Rachel Alexandra became just the fifth filly to win the Preakness Stakes, and the first since Nellie Morse in 1924.Read More
Is the Preakness becoming the new Kentucky Derby? As blasphemous and confusing at that question may sound...Read More

Any news on her colt? Such as name or when they are announcing it?
From 1987 to 2011, the average winning Kentucky Derby Beyer was 109. Until 2009, it was really a given that the winner had to get into that range. No more. Once is an aberration. Four times is a pattern. Mine That Bird got a 105 when he won in 2009 by 6 3/4 lengths. Which means the rest of them ran ...Read More

  • AnnaK · A lovely tribute. Given that she only ever added to racing, gave her best and did so well, and we were expecting at least another year,(too short!) very sorry to read this is it. She is truly admirable. Wish her a long happy life. · 26 days ago ·

With over sixty-five hundred entries submitted for their “Name Rachel’s Foal” contest, it’s no wonder that Stonestreet Farm is taking their time in announcing a winner. After all, this will be the first foal from one of the finest female horses ever to step on an American racetrack, as well as, bein...Read More

I would also add Curlin, Lawyer Ron, (consecutive years) Victory Gallop, Tank's Prospect, Davona Dale, Bold 'n Determined, and Festin as other memorable Festival winners.

According to her Facebook page, she is confirmed in foal to Bernardini
As compelling, or not, you found her seasonal debut, I believe the more interesting thing is all the talk surrounding where her connections chose to make her first start of the year.Read More

So Good Horse! Love Rachel and her sister Samantha :*
Rachel Alexandra, shot out of the gate as fast as Ruffian and proved herself one of the best at 1 1/8 mile. Considering she won from the outside #12 in the Preakness which had never been done before having to exert a great amount of energy I feel she would have gotten the 1 1/4 mile. Her 4yo season is a toss as Calvin killed her at Saratoga the scrungy little.....
With Kentucky Derby fever in full flight, fans are clamoring for Union Rags – Hansen II. I’m all for that; a real honest to goodness rivalry through the Triple Crown would be great for our sport, but a couple of performances this past week have me very excited for the potential of another match-up. ...Read More

  • KyOaksRunner · I think Mucho Macho Man might hold a slight advantage at 1 mile. He's obviously improving and I think his running style would give him an edge over Caleb's Posse's "dead-last" rallies. · 69 days ago ·

  • xmango93x · As for the name of the colt, I'm spreading "Caprido" everywhere I can. Think it fits in with the feel of the horses the Mosses have named in honor of Sting and/or The Police, and it was part of one of the rejected names for the album Zenyatta was named after. Giacomo, Tiago, Zenyatta, Caprido... I think it fits =) (And if they don't use it, I will someday haha) · 72 days ago ·

I was recently asked who my top 3 Kentucky Oaks fillies were as of now, and after thinking about how refreshing it was for a little break from Derby fever, I quickly responded with Princess Arabella, Grace Hall, and On Fire Baby.

She barely makes the Top 100 of all time. Pushing and shoving her up to #22 on this list doesn't mean she's actually #22. Can you even imagine her racing against the horses ranked below her? How would she fare against Sunday Silence, War Admiral, Riva Ridge, Ack Ack, Cougar II, Tom Fool, Assault, Princess Rooney, Personal Ensign, Arts and Letters, Alydar, Native Diver, Foolish Pleasure, etc? If she were in that race, she would be dead last.
  • cocoa2 · Depends on if she was having a good day or a bad day. I agree that 22nd is too high, but the rankings are rather messed up. · 81 days ago ·
