Online Racebook Betting – Year Of The Female Horse
Posted July 10, 2009 – 9:24 am in: Sports
As they say, ladies first.
It looks like it’s the year of the female horse on the tracks as the girls have been outclassing the boys all over the place.
By now, everyone knows the story of Rachel alexandra, who turned out to be the little pony that could. She was purchased right after the Kentucky Derby and it’s new owners and trainer, Steve Asmussen, got her ready for The Preakness, which it had no problem winning (actually, she did get a push from Mine That Bird, the Kentucky Derby winner).
Then Rachel Alexandra was held out of the Belmont Stakes and then raced after and won in another high stakes race.
But Rachel alexandra hasn’t been the only female story – Zenyatta has come out of nowhere to do some damage as well.
Trained by John Schirreffs, Zenyatta didn’t start racing until she was three-years-old but now that she’s going full steam, no one can stop her. Zenyatta is 11-0 right now and everyone is already frothing over a potential race at the big three next eyar.
Rachel Alexandra versus Zenyatta will likely be one of the biggest storylines in the last decade heading into the Kentucky Derby, assuming that everything holds as is and the two horses continue to dominate.
At this point, the edge still has to go to Rachel Alexandra, who has already won a Triple Crown race while Zenyatta has not. Even so, it should be a great race whenever these two meet head to head.
