Mint SATURDAY JUNE 27, 2009 BELMONT PARK MOTHER GOOSE STAKES PROGRAM won by RACHEL ALEXANDRA
14 years old Unmarked/unused MINT Condition The words forego1974 will not be on the program.
The 2009 Mother Goose Program is the full size program with past performances as well.
Rare program of one of RACHEL'S greatest wins!
She won the race by 19 1/4 lengths and Hall of Fame Jockey Calvin Borel was easing her up for the last 1/16 mile. She stopped the clock at 1:46 1/5 . This broke the super filly RUFFIAN time and margin of victorty that held for 34 years! Rachel set a new stakes record for this 9 furlong distance! If she wasn't eased perhaps she could have exceeded Secretariats world record time of 1:45 3/5 from the 1973 Marlboro Cup!
On RUFFIAN:
She took The Grade 1 Mother Goose, then run at Aqueduct at a mile and 1/8th, around two turns in 1:47.4. This was Ruffian’s first endeavor around two turns and she left no doubt it was well within her scope. She drew off to win by over 13 lengths, making a strong case she was getting better as she was maturing and going longer.
Ruffian’s Mother Goose stakes record, and the record for margin of victory in the race, stood until Rachel Alexandra broke both on June 27th, 2009, winning the race in 1:46:33 by just over 19 lengths. However, the Mother Goose is now contested at Belmont Park and run around one turn, in an elongated sprint format, thus speeding up the times. Taking nothing away from Rachel Alexandra, a brilliant filly in her own right, the races were run under very different conditions.
RACHEL ALEXANDRA was inducted into the Racing Hall of Fame in her first year on the ballot.
RACHEL ALEXANDRA one of the greatest of all time!
