Rachel Alexandra, Zenyatta sharp in workouts
May 25, 2010LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) -Horse racing's leading ladies are back at work.
Horse of the Year Rachel Alexandra zipped five furlongs at Churchill Downs on Monday, while unbeaten mare Zenyatta was just as impressive in a work at Hollywood Park.
Rachel Alexandra covered five furlongs in 1:00.40, second-fastest of the 14 horses who worked the distance.
Trainer Steve Asmussen says the 4-year-old filly ``looked great'' and ``all options are open'' regarding her next start.
Rachel Alexandra went undefeated last year but has finished second in both of her 2010 starts.
Zenyatta worked six furlongs in 1:13 as she continues to prep for the Vanity Handicap on June 13. Zenyatta hasn't raced since improving to 16-0 with a romp in the Apple Blossom on April 9.
