Default DRF|Rachel turns it on in workout

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.

When a guy is already nicknamed the "assman," why even add the extra "g?" Ass encompasses so many more things than "gass."

Ah, another nice long work for the champ

Looks like she's gearing up rather nicely for that mid-March debut


Then it's time for a little RA hunting

Why do I suck?
Because I don't agree with your biased California views?

Having Smooth Operator saying you suck is kind of like having PG1985 calling you stupid.

You just nod your head and take it as a complement.

This begs a way more important question: where can we all get our VOL JACK sucks t-shirts?
