was a good work for RA - mebbe they'll be spraying Z with a big ole fire hose to recreate what the conditions could possibly be like at Hot Springs on April 9th, further move into April the more likelihood of heavy rain rain rain lol...
Led on a pony by Steve Asmussen's assistant trainer Scott Blasi, and with regular exercise rider Dominic Terry aboard, Rachel Alexandra went to the track, which had standing water in places, at 6:30 a.m., and put in one of only two works recorded at Fair Grounds for the day. She covered five furlongs in 1:03.80, with the wind and rain blowing steadily against her in the stretch.
