Posted on Wednesday, July 15th, 2009
Co-owner Jess Jackson announced that the Preakness-winning filly Rachel Alexandra will run against the boys again in the $1-million Haskell Invitational 2009 on August 2 at New Jersey’s Monmouth Park.
The Haskell is a 1 1/8-mile race for 3-year-olds. Also expected in the Haskell field is Belmont Stakes winner Summer Bird.
“She is in top condition. If this preparation continues, our target is to race in the Haskell Invitational in about three weeks,” Jess Jackson said in a release. “We are all looking forward to seeing this great athlete perform again against both colts and fillies.”
Filly Rachel Alexandra worked 5 furlongs in 1:01.38 on Monday at Saratoga in upstate New York. She has won 7 consecutive races, most recently by 19 lengths against fillies in the Mother Goose Stakes at Belmont Park on June 25.
