Four options on June 12 for Rachel Alexandra

USA: Horse of the year Rachel Alexandra will bid to put her four-year-old season back on track in a race on Saturday week, June 12.

However, her connections have left themselves plenty of options, nominating a choice between four races at three separate tracks.

Rachel Alexandra is in training at Churchill Downs, where the $600,000 Stephen Foster Handicap offers a Grade 1 test against males.

On the same card, the Grade 2 Fleur de Lis would keep her against females, as would the Ogden Phipps Handicap - a Grade 1 at Belmont - and the Grade 3 Obeah, potentially the softest option of the four alternatives at Delaware Park.

Owner Jess Jackson issued a statement outlining the choices on Tuesday, the day after Rachel Alexandra posted an impressive workout in Kentucky.

"Rachel Alexandra's condition continues to improve," Jackson said. "Our ultimate goal has not changed in scheduling Rachel Alexandra's campaign this year.

"We are getting her back to her fitness level of last year with the long-term hope to race her in the Breeders' Cup this fall."

Rachel Alexandra has finished second on both her starts this term, narrowly beaten in both the New Orleans Ladies at Fair Grounds in March and the Grade 2 La Troienne in April on the Kentucky Oaks undercard at Churchill Downs.

There has been speculation that Kentucky Derby-winning jockey Calvin Borel may be replaced by Shaun Bridgmohan for her next race.
