Rachel's next start July 24 at Monmouth Park
July 2, 2010OCEANPORT, N.J. (AP) -The co-owner of Rachel Alexandra says his Horse of the Year will run next in the Lady's Secret Stakes at Monmouth Park on July 24.
The announcement by Jess Jackson on Thursday comes a day after the 4-year-old filly arrived at Saratoga Race Course in New York with expectations she would run there.
The 1 1/8-mile Lady's Secret was moved from Aug. 1 and the purse raised to $400,000 from $150,000 to lure Rachel Alexandra back to the Jersey Shore.
Rachel Alexandra won all eight of her starts last year. She lost her first two starts this year before winning the Fleur de Lis at Churchill Downs on June 12.
One of her three victories against males last year came in the Haskell Invitational at Monmouth.
