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.

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.
