If this happens....

I am soooo there:

Preakness winner Rachel Alexandra is coming to Oaklawn Park in Hot Springs, Ar. That in itself got my attention but in the words of my favorite "as seen on tv" commercial "but wait that's not all".
Zenyatta, runnerup to Rachel for 2009 horse of the year is being enticed to the Natural State. That is,if you call a $5,000,000 purse enticement.
It is not a done deal yet, but everything is pointing toward these 2 ladies meeting head to head in the April "Apple Blossom". WOW!!

Rachel is currently preping at Fairgounds in New Orleans. She is the younger of the 2 and has more recent big race experience. She has made a living out of beating bigger, stronger males. Now she gets a chance against a female of equal caliber.
