Rachel Alexandra won the Woodward Stakes against the boys last summer, but won’t repeat that feat this summer because she’s entered in the Grade I Personal Ensign on Sunday, August 29 th.
Rachel, no doubt, will go off as a low-priced, underlaid, horse racing wager to subdue a field of only four other horses in the Personal Ensign. Although it seems like there won’t be any tournament for Rachel on Sunday, there actually will be.

As good as Rachel looked in her last victory, she’s not a keep track of exclude to win the Personal Ensign on Sunday. In experience, there are enough questions surrounding Rachel for me to pick against her.

1 ¼ miles over dirt
- Miss Singhsix 10/1 – She won’t have a problem with the distance but she’s a – closer in a race where there doesn’t show up to be a lot of speed. I don’t see her being able to realize to either Rachel Alexandra or Life At Ten in this race and any horseplayer that makes her their horse racing wager to win on Sunday is grabbing for straws. Now, finishing 3 rd isn’t out of the question.
- Rachel Alexandra 2/5 – - She was absolutely imaginative in the Lady’s Secret in her last but there wasn’t a single other horse in that race that has the kind of speed that she has. No other horse in that race had ever won a graded stakes either, meaning that Rachel pretty much fustigate up on a bunch of suffering horses while tournament over a track that favored her style. She faces a much tougher foe in Life At Ten in the Personal Ensign on Sunday. Also, believe it or not, Rachel has never compound at the classic 1 ¼ mile distance on the eve of. Can she get the interval? Her politesse says yes, but it’s still a question mark.
- Persistently 20/1 – - This daughter of Smoke Glacken will be taking a huge step up from free claiming $50,000 to this Grade I. I respect trainer Shug McGaughey but this is notwithstanding a tough thing for Shug to pull off. I don’t see Persistently coming close to Rachel or Life At Ten on Sunday.
- Flair At Ten 5/2 – - Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow. Why five “wows” instead of only one? Because Mortal At Ten has won five races in a row in “wow” fashion. She’s beaten some good horses while on the stratum like Grade I Princess Rooney winner Jessica Is Disavow in the Sixty Sails and Unrivaled Belle in the Grade I Ogden Phipps. She can either lead or tail. Since she breaks on the outside of Rachel it’s likely that jockey John Velasquez, who’s winning with 23% of his mounts at the Spa, make track the 2009 Horse of the Year to the height of the stretch to come trying to run on the whole her. Passion At Ten comes out of the Todd Pletcher barn meaning that she’s definitely going to be at the top of her game on Sunday. The daughter of Malibu Moon also has a victory at the distance. I believe she beats Rachel with ease on Sunday.
- Classofsixtythree 20/1 – - She’s never race close to the numbers that Life At Ten and Rachel Alexandra have in the offing posted, lost by 11 ½ lengths to Malibu Prayer and Unrivalled Belle in the Ruffian in her last and was running in $25,000 claimers at Aqueduct less than a year ago. The horse racing betting odds on Classofsixtythree to win the Particular Ensign should be 40/1 not 20/1.
