Rachel Alexandra has been beaten on the square as the heavy favorite in two lower level races. Seems fairly sensible to me that another "prep" or drop in class is the most potent tactic to get her back in the winner's circle.

Dropping in class from 2 Gr.2's is not what I would call a confident placing for a horse that was facing males last year and ran almost exclusively in Gr.1 races. If she is entered in the Obeah, I would surmise the end is near, however didn't we just read a glowing report of her last work? Believe me, I hope the end isn't near for her, she's great for racing and I do want to see her close to last year so she can make the BC.
