Personal Ensign-Match Up of The Summer
This year there have been some really nice races. Rachel Alexandra & Zenyatta have done their thing, albeit against slightly lesser competition. They are two great champions in their own right. They both have delighted the crowds each and every time they have stepped on to the track this year.
The Alabama was a highly-anticipated race, and so was the Whitney. But this Sunday is the one race I have waited to see the moment RA’s crew pegged it on their calendar. The Personal Ensign’s appeal even surpasses that of The Travers Stakes to an extent this particular year. To me this is the headliner of the year so far. The Personal Ensign is thee main event.
Rachel Alexandra takes on Life At Ten in the Showdown at The Spa in the second day of The NYRA’s “Double Day Spectacular.” And a race that I feel will not leave too many disappointed. Rachel Alexandra has something to prove in the Personal Ensign against a champion race mare in Life At Ten, who is riding a 6 race-winning streak into this. Life At Ten has trained very well leading up to this. She will gun for 7th consecutive win and looks fit and ready. Rachel Alexandra will come in off a race where she won in absolutely brutal, hot conditions at Monmouth Park. The conditions were not fit for man or horse. I don’t think she showed her best that day by any means. I expect her to be at her best for The Personal Ensign.
