Rachel Alexandra safely arrives at Saratoga

Horseracing Betting Lines

06/30/2010 - Saratoga Springs, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Wednesday morning saw the safe arrival of defending Horse of the Year Rachel Alexandra at Saratoga Race Course from Churchill Downs. The four-year-old filly was accompanied by trainer Steve Asmussen's assistant Scott Blasi on the plane flight.

"We left Churchill Downs at 7:15 and we got here at 11:15; four hours from track to track is pretty impressive," said Blasi. "She's at Saratoga and everything is good. The air is good; the water tastes good. It's all positive. She looks fabulous right now. I am looking forward to getting her back to the track tomorrow."

As a three-year-old, the filly took up residence at Saratoga last summer when she traveled to Monmouth Park to win the Haskell Invitational. Back at the upstate New York track she beat older male horses in the Woodward Handicap.

Specific plans for Rachel's next start have not been finalized. At Saratoga she could race in either the 1 1/8-mile Ruffian Handicap on Sunday, August 1 or the 1 1/4-mile Personal Ensign on Sunday, August 29. Both races are for fillies and mares.

An earlier possible start against other females would be the $750,000 Delaware Handicap on Saturday, July 17 at 1 1/4-miles.

Owned by Stonestreet Stable and Hal McCormick, Rachel had her last workout at Churchill Downs on Monday of this week. Blasi said that the champion filly will most likely have her first breeze at Saratoga on Monday, July 5.

Rachel, who has Calvin Borel as her jockey, has won 12 of 17 career starts for $3,216,730. This year she has won one of three races for $258,376.

Rachel won the Fleur de Lis by 10 1/2-lengths on June 12. She came up short in her initial two starts of 2010. She was second to Zardana at the Fair Grounds in the New Orleans Ladies Classic and runner-up to Unrivaled Belle at Churchill Downs in the La Troienne.

MySportsbook.com and Kentucky Derby Offer Bonuses
The 2008 Kentucky Derby has announced a $1-million bonus for this weekend’s 134th ‘Run for the Roses’ and MySportsbook.com is doing the same.

Well, not quite $1 million, but MySportsbook.com is offering a 75% rebate for Kentucky Derby lines. Check out the exclusive horse racing bonus for all the details.

According to MySportsbook.com, the favorites for Saturday’s Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky are: Curlin (+250); Street Sense (+500); Scat Daddy (+700); Circular Quay (+750); and Nobiz Like Shobiz (+800).

Derby organizers announced this week that there will be a $1-million bonus at the 2007 Kentucky Derby odds if the first-place horse wins by more than 6 1/2 lengths – the margin of Barbaro's victory last year. The bonus would be divided Saturday among the winning trainer, jockey, owner and a charity, with each receiving 25 percent. The designated charity is the Barbaro Memorial Fund.

''It's certainly creative, it's certainly fun and it has something for the horsemen, which we always want to embrace,'' Churchill Downs president and chief executive Robert Evans said at a news conference. ''What's really cool is it will force us to remember Barbaro.''
    
Meanwhile, the Derby favorite – Curlin – is going against the odds this year. It's been 125 years since Apollo won after skipping his 2-year-old season, and not since Regret in 1915 has such a lightly seasoned horse worn the blanket of red roses.

Arkansas Derby winner Curlin – unbeaten in three career races – tries to overcome both those obstacles in Saturday's 133rd Derby.

''We're not running against history,'' trainer Steve Asmussen said Monday. ''We're running against who they load up.''

Six other horses have run in the Derby without benefit of 2-year-old races and with three or fewer starts. The best any of them managed was a sixth-place finish by Showing Up last year.
   
Asmussen dismissed suggestions that Curlin's lack of racing experience could keep him from the winner's circle.

”He exudes confidence and he's got a great presence about him,'' the trainer said. ''I feel great about the position we're in. He's not worried about anything, why should you be?''
   
The Kentucky Derby is at 4:04 p.m., ET Saturday.
