You’ve probably been busy following Bromont, but this weekend was a big event for Thoroughbred racing as well. The two super mares once again proved their superiority, though they have yet to face each other.
Saturday, Rachel Alexandra looked like her 2009 self in the Fleur de Lis Handicap at Churchill Downs. She drew off to win by ten lengths, with Calvin Borel already gearing her down at the wire. Hopefully she has hit her stride again, and can aim for a meeting with Zenyatta.

Speaking of the amazing Zenyatta, she just ran her way into history with her 17th consecutive win (for those keeping score, she’s 17-0!). It wasn’t easy, as St. Trinians ran a heck of a race herself. But the big mare proved herself a true champion yet again, just managing to surge her way in front at the wire. More story here from the Thoroughbred Times.
It will be a special day when the two finally meet. Zenyatta looks absolutely unbeatable right now, but Rachel has proven she has more to offer. Thanks to both their owners, the Mosses and Jess Jackson, for continuing to share both awesome horses with their fans.
