Filly Rachel Alexandra Arrives at Belmont Park For The Mother Goose Stakes
Preakness winner filly Rachel Alexandra arrived at Belmont Park for Saturday’s $300,000 Mother Goose Stakes (gr. I) for 3-year-old fillies.
Accompanied by assistant race horse trainer Scott Blasi, exercise rider Dominic Terry and 4 other thoroughbreds, filly Rachel Alexandra departed Churchill Downs at noon. She arrived at trainer Steve Asmussen’s barn on the Belmont Park backstretch by 4:30 p.m.
The daughter of Medaglia d’Oro was bedded down in stall No. 5–the same stall previously occupied by 2-time Horse of the Year Curlin.
Filly Rachel Alexandra won the Kentucky Oaks by 20 lengths on May 1, and her Preakness Stakes win against the boys gave her a six-race winning streak. The Mother Goose will be her first start since the Preakness.
Expected in the Mother Goose Stakes field: Alan Brodsky’s multiple stakes-winner Don’t Forget Gil; Godolphin Stable’s Flashing, with a 3-race win streak of her own; and Edward P. Evans’ Malibu Prayer.
