DRF|Rachel turns it on in workout
Fair Grounds | Posted 2/18/2010, 11:57 am
Rachel turns it on in workout By Marcus Hersh NEW ORLEANS - Mardi Gras came Tuesday, and yesterday was Ash Wednesday, meaning this is Lent, a period for quiet reflection and sobriety. Nobody, apparently, bothered to explain all this to Rachel Alexandra. Rachel had her fourth timed workout of the winter Thursday morning at Fair Grounds, and it was a doozy. She broke off like a shot at the five-furlong pole, whipped around the far turn, and scarcely slowed through the stretch run, with clockers timing the five-eighths drill in 1:00.20. For good measure, Rachel galloped out six furlongs in 1:14.40, gliding smoothly around the clubhouse turn before pulling up on the mid-backstretch.
