Did they move it and not tell anybody?

Looks like some accommodations were made.

The Lady's Secret was originally scheduled to be run at 1 1/16 miles on August 1 as part of the Haskell Day card. However, with Rachel Alexandra running, the race has been moved to July 24, and the purse has been increased to $400,000. If Rachel Alexandra is unable to compete in the Lady's Secret, the purse will revert to the originally scheduled $150,000. According to Jackson's statement, the Lady's Secret has also been lengthened to 1 1/8 miles
