Rachel Alexandra's 2010 Campaign.

[Stillriledup]

Has anyone heard anything about her tour in 2010? I guess she's training at the Fair Grounds right now, anyone know when she's projected to make her 4 year old debut and what her schedule looks like?

I'd love to see her beat up on some really soft competition for her first 2 or 3 starts before she really races someone good. Racing needs her to win a few in a row so we can re-start the hype machine. Rachel winning is great for racing, lets let her get a few under her belt before she's even challenged.

2 or 3 starts? That's likely to be at least half her season.

Since the Doubledogdare is probably not on her list, she's probably headed to the Apple Blossom.

Of course, if they want softer competition, there's always the Oaklawn Handicap...

Yeah, if she races 6 times in total, i'd like to see 3 cupcake races to get her legs under her and 3 difficult races to see how good she wants to be. Nothing wrong with that.
