Stonestreet Stables' Horse of the Year Rachel Alexandra (Medaglia d'Oro) is looking like her old self again. The four-year-old worked six furlongs in a rapid 1:11.40 at Churchill Downs yesterday morning, her second straight bullet breeze over the track. “She worked crazy good,” said trainer Steve Asmussen. “She's had [two] works since she's been here, and they have been extremely ëRachelesque.' I'm happy to see her putting in work like she did last year.” A perfect eight-for-eight last season, Rachel Alexandra had a nine-race winning streak snapped when she was upset by Zardana (Brz) (Crimson Tide {Ire}) in the Mar. 13 New Orleans Ladies S. at Fair Grounds. It has not yet been decided where the filly will start next, but she is nominated for the Apr. 30 GII La Troienne S. going 1 1/16 miles on the GI Kentucky Oaks undercard.
