Her work had already been scheduled for Tuesday morning. It was moved back half a day because NOLA got a lot of rain starting Monday afternoon. All concerned wanted the safest possible track for her work. Nothing more sinister than that.

DRF| Rachel Alexandra has six-furlong work

Rachel Alexandra put in her last major move before her scheduled return to racing Tuesday morning at Fair Grounds, working in company and going six furlongs in 1:13.60.

Trainer Steve Asmussen was pleased with the work, though it was a little slower than 1:12 he was aiming for.

"I was hoping she would go a little quicker," said Asmussen. "The main thing is that she is healthy, and this is a step to getting her back to her previous level."

ETA: Link to video of work.

Thanks for the link. Rachel is still playing catch up and despite her connections "spin" she will obviously not be at her best next Saturday.

Who, pray tell, thinks she will be " at her best " for her first race of the year?

Which is a shame because most athletes are in top physical and mental condition at the start of the season.

Was that just you.....or the entire group?

By the way, " we " only remember one winning ticket after your ( or is it yous ) modest declaration of excessive brilliance.
