Rachel Alexandra Wins The Lady's Secret
Rachel Alexandra defeated six rivals
Saturday in the $400,000 Lady's Secret Stakes for fillies and mares
at Monmouth Park.
It was the second straight win for the reigning Horse of the
Year following a pair of loses to start the season.
Cavil Borel was aboard for trainer Steve Asmussen as Rachel
Alexandra beat Queen Martha by three lengths with Ask the Moon
third.
The 4-year-old paid $2.20 to win. The time was 1:49.78 for the 1
1-8 miles on an oppressively hot afternoon.
It was a triumphant return to Monmouth where Rachel Alexandra
beat the colts last summer in the $1 million Haskell Invitational,
one of the key victories that propelled her to the championship in
an 8-0 campaign.
