Louisville, KY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Reigning Horse of the Year Rachel
Alexandra put in her first workout at Churchill Downs on Monday morning since
her victory in the $200,000 Fleur de Lis Handicap. The four-year-old filly
breezed a half-mile for trainer Steve Asmussen.
"She went fine," said Asmussen. "It's a ridiculously hot morning, you know.
That's a big concern. It's time to get out and go north."
With Shaun Bridgmohan in the saddle, Rachel covered the four-furlongs in
51 1/5 second and galloped out five-furlongs in 1:05 1/5. At 6:30 a.m. (et) it
was 81 degrees when the champion took to the track.
"I think we've got to get out of this weather," Asmussen commented. "The
flag's stuck to the pole today. She acts like the rest of us do right now --
it's hot. Her weight's good and she's very sound, and her strength is good.
But it's hot. We'd all feel better if it was about 20 degrees cooler."
The original plan for Rachel was for her to travel to Saratoga after the end
of the Churchill Downs meet on July 4. Asmussen is now thinking about shipping
the filly and his other horses earlier due to the hot weather.
Rachel won the Fleur de Lis by 10 1/2-lengths on June 12, her first win of the
year. 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.
Owned by Stonestreet Stables and Harold McCormick, the filly has career
earnings of $3,216,730 with 12 wins in 17 starts.

March Madness odds and printable March Madness brackets
With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship. Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92. After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points. Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1. Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years. With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed. UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern. Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier. OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak. Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four. It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta. But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
