Anyone who witnessed the Kentucky Oaks today may have just seen the best 3-year old horse in the world. Rachel Alexandra absolutely destroyed the field in arguably the biggest race of the year for the ladies, leaving many to wonder if she would have been the winner of tomorrow's Kentucky Derby. The filly won by 20+ lengths, nearly broke the track record, and there was not a whip in sight throughout the whole race.
After the tragedy of Eight Belles in last year's Derby, some think the Rachel Alexandra connections didn't want to chance a potentially brutal running in a wild, twenty horse field. On the other hand, one is only left to hope if she will get a chance at the boys in the Preakness or Belmont. If she does, she will be the overwhelming favorite.
