Reigning Horse of the Year Rachel Alexandra turned in her latest breeze, and her second straight bullet work, at Churchill Downs yesterday morning, covering six furlongs in 1:12 flat under regular exercise rider Dom Terry.

It was the fourth work for the 4-year-old since losing her season debut, the New Orleans Ladies, on March 13. Rachel Alexandra breezed twice at the Fair Grounds following that race, then shipped to her spring base, Churchill Downs, and has worked strongly since her return to the track she ran away with the Kentucky Oaks over.

In yesterday's work, the filly reeled off splits of :12.80, :25.40, :37.20, :48.40 and 1:00 en route to her final time, which was the fastest of seven at the distance. She galloped out seven furlongs in 1:25.20.

Last week, Rachel Alexandra breezed five furlongs in 1:00.20, best of 16 at the distance. Trainer Steve Asmussen said his charge will work every Monday until further notice, the pattern she followed during her Horse of the Year campaign last year.

Asmussen hasn't confirmed where the filly might start next. However, the rumor mill has mentioned the La Troienne, a two-turn, Grade II stakes on the undercard of the Kentucky Oaks, as a potential race. Rachel Alexandra is nominated to the event, along with New Orleans Ladies winner Zardana and Alabama winner Careless Jewel.
