Default Rachel Alexandra

For once, she didn't run faster than all the males on the same card.

She got her 8.5 furlongs today in 1:43.55 with Borel up in the irons and showboating through the stretch.

Freisan Fire got his 8.5 furlongs in 1:43.46 while romping to a 7+ length win in the LA Derby.

They both ran a point or two faster than Macho Again - last years Derby Trial, Jim Dandy, and Preakness 2nd - who needed 1:50.21 to take the 500K NO Handicap.

Hal Wiggins was 0-for-32 with runners 2nd off the layoff dating back to Jan 1st 2008 - that streak now snapped.
