Rachel Alexandra works out at Churchill Downs
April 13, 2010LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) -Rachel Alexandra ran six furlongs in her second major workout since returning to Churchill Downs.
The 2009 Horse of the Year covered the distance Monday in 1:12 under exercise rider Dominic Terry. It was the fastest of seven workouts at six furlongs.
Trainer Steve Asmussen says he'll be looking at how the 4-year-old filly recovers while considering when she'll race next. He says the workout was ``very impressive and fast.''
He says his team is trying to get Rachel Alexandra back in the rhythm that she had success with last year.
She lost her only start this year in New Orleans last month.
