Four of the six fillies entered in the $300,000 Rachel Alexandra (G2), including unbeaten Hoosier Philly, worked Saturday morning at Fair Grounds. The 1 1/16-mile Rachel Alexandra is a qualifier for the Kentucky Oaks (G1) in May at Churchill Downs, offering 50-20-15-10-5 points to the top five finishers.
Saturday morning’s work tab was filled with Kentucky Derby and Oaks dreamers. Hoosier Philly fired her second bullet in as many works since returning to Tom Amoss’ barn from her Florida freshening. The undefeated filly breezed five furlongs in 1:00, the best of 67 runners.
