Horse Betting: Rachel Alexandra to Retire
Rachel Alexandra, The 2009 Horse Of The Year, is going to retire. The announcement about her retirement, which has dispirited horse betting fans from all over, was made by her owner on Tuesday.
Rachel Alexandra made an impact following her run at Kentucky Oaks, where she emerged as a winner in all eight starts. Being a three-year-old filly at that time, she ousted three males during her rise.
Owner Jess Jackson stated, “Rachel Alexandra’s 2009 campaign was one for the ages-one that racing fans will remember throughout time.”
Nevertheless, Rachel Alexandra is going to win two of five starts in 2010.
Currently, Rachel Alexandra has +700 odds to win the 2010 Breeders Cup Classic (Churchill Downs) at LinesMaker. On the other hand, listed at +250, Zenyatta is running as the hot favorite to win the Breeders Cup.
According to an ESPN.com report, in the Grade 1 Personal Ensign on Aug. 29 Saratoga, Alexandra was downed by Persistently by one length. Alexandra worked a few times after that though.
“I believe it’s time to retire our champion and reward her with a less stressful life. We are delighted that she will retire healthy and happy to our beautiful farm in Kentucky,” owner Jess Jackson said, ““She set standards and records that no filly before her ever achieved. And I suspect it will be quite a while before a three-year-old filly ever equals or surpasses her achievements. Although her fans were thrilled by a series of spectacular victories, I believe they, as we, were simply awed time and again by her sheer beauty, courage and athleticism.”
Jackson also added that he is looking forward to mate Rachel Alexandra with his horse Curlin next year.
