![]() Rachel Alexandra Returns Home
Rachel Alexandra is home at Stonestreet today, beginning the next stage of her remarkable recuperation following abdominal surgery in mid-February. Stonestreet employees decorated her stall with cards from fans as they awaited her arrival; a get-well banner from Fair Grounds Racecourse stretched across the barn, ready to welcome the hard-fighting champion home. Video here: Rachel's Return Home

Stonestreet just posted a link to this piece that ran on Oaks day. Recent footage of Rachel and her filly are included as well as a word from Barbara and others. It sounds like the operation was more of a risk than I think we knew originally, based on the location of the problem. They claim they've not even talked about whether to breed her, just her recovery. |

![]() Great segement; thanks for posting. Though I laughed at the name running under her owner, "Barbara Blank."

![]() Oh I'm not saying I didn't think it was serious, but sounds like the vets weren't even sure they wanted to risk operating, not unlike when someone tells you a tumor is inoperable. They could operate but it might not be survivable if they did given what they had to do to remove the problem. It's hard to think she'd have survived waiting it out with antibiotics and draining. At some point, you'd have to thinks sepsis would've set in.
