Filly Rachel Alexandra To Race In The Woodward Stakes; Kensei To Run In The Travers Stakes 2009 at Saratoga
Race horse trainer Steve Asmussen announced that filly Rachel Alexandra will run next in the $750,000 Woodward Stakes on September 5 at Saratoga Race Course.
The Woodward Stakes is for 3-year-old and up horses, and gives filly Rachel Alexandra a new challenge of taking on older horses.
Filly Rachel Alexandra has dominated the 3-year-old filly division with romps in the Kentucky Oaks and the Mother Goose, and has beaten 3-year-old boys in the Preakness and the Haskell Invitational.
Rachel Alexandra has won eight in a row and is the leading contender for Horse of the Year.
Steve Asmussen also said Kensei will run in Saturday’s $1-million Travers Stakes 2009 for 3-year-olds.
Both Kensei and filly Rachel Alexandra are owned by Jess Jackson of Stonestreet Stable.
