Louisville, KY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Reigning Horse of the Year Rachel
Alexandra put in her first workout at Churchill Downs on Monday morning since
her victory in the $200,000 Fleur de Lis Handicap. The four-year-old filly
breezed a half-mile for trainer Steve Asmussen.
"She went fine," said Asmussen. "It's a ridiculously hot morning, you know.
That's a big concern. It's time to get out and go north."
With Shaun Bridgmohan in the saddle, Rachel covered the four-furlongs in
51 1/5 second and galloped out five-furlongs in 1:05 1/5. At 6:30 a.m. (et) it
was 81 degrees when the champion took to the track.
"I think we've got to get out of this weather," Asmussen commented. "The
flag's stuck to the pole today. She acts like the rest of us do right now --
it's hot. Her weight's good and she's very sound, and her strength is good.
But it's hot. We'd all feel better if it was about 20 degrees cooler."
The original plan for Rachel was for her to travel to Saratoga after the end
of the Churchill Downs meet on July 4. Asmussen is now thinking about shipping
the filly and his other horses earlier due to the hot weather.
Rachel won the Fleur de Lis by 10 1/2-lengths on June 12, her first win of the
year. She came up short in her initial two starts of 2010. She was second to
Zardana at the Fair Grounds in the New Orleans Ladies Classic and runner-up to
Unrivaled Belle at Churchill Downs in the La Troienne.
Owned by Stonestreet Stables and Harold McCormick, the filly has career
earnings of $3,216,730 with 12 wins in 17 starts.

MySportsbook.com and Kentucky Derby Offer Bonuses
The 2008 Kentucky Derby has announced a $1-million bonus for this weekend’s 134th ‘Run for the Roses’ and MySportsbook.com is doing the same.
Well, not quite $1 million, but MySportsbook.com is offering a 75% rebate for Kentucky Derby lines. Check out the exclusive horse racing bonus for all the details.
According to MySportsbook.com, the favorites for Saturday’s Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky are: Curlin (+250); Street Sense (+500); Scat Daddy (+700); Circular Quay (+750); and Nobiz Like Shobiz (+800).
Derby organizers announced this week that there will be a $1-million bonus at the 2007 Kentucky Derby odds if the first-place horse wins by more than 6 1/2 lengths – the margin of Barbaro's victory last year. The bonus would be divided Saturday among the winning trainer, jockey, owner and a charity, with each receiving 25 percent. The designated charity is the Barbaro Memorial Fund.
''It's certainly creative, it's certainly fun and it has something for the horsemen, which we always want to embrace,'' Churchill Downs president and chief executive Robert Evans said at a news conference. ''What's really cool is it will force us to remember Barbaro.''
Meanwhile, the Derby favorite – Curlin – is going against the odds this year. It's been 125 years since Apollo won after skipping his 2-year-old season, and not since Regret in 1915 has such a lightly seasoned horse worn the blanket of red roses.
Arkansas Derby winner Curlin – unbeaten in three career races – tries to overcome both those obstacles in Saturday's 133rd Derby.
''We're not running against history,'' trainer Steve Asmussen said Monday. ''We're running against who they load up.''
Six other horses have run in the Derby without benefit of 2-year-old races and with three or fewer starts. The best any of them managed was a sixth-place finish by Showing Up last year.
Asmussen dismissed suggestions that Curlin's lack of racing experience could keep him from the winner's circle.
”He exudes confidence and he's got a great presence about him,'' the trainer said. ''I feel great about the position we're in. He's not worried about anything, why should you be?''
The Kentucky Derby is at 4:04 p.m., ET Saturday.
