Spent time with Rachel Alexandra and Hal Wiggins. She's spectacular. Huge. And as docile as a kitten. She works at 8:30 Monday under Borel.

Well, at least he already has his excuse down.

As far as Rachel.. She is truely amazing and really is a special filly. I really think she is going to be one we look back on one day and say "Wow! I remember when she ran...." akin to the ones that can remember Ruffian.
