On Saturday, Rachel Alexandra, the reigning Horse of the Year, faces six seemingly overmatched rivals in the $400,000 Lady's Secret Stakes at Monmouth Park. The comparisons in terms of speed figures isn't even close, and her trainer says she is training really well. Unless she throws in a clunker, she should take this easily. But she has been beaten twice this year in huge upsets before bouncing back in her last race to win by 10 lengths, so upsets do happen. If she should throw in a bad race, Stage Trick finished third in the Grade 3 Obeah at Delaware Park and Ask the Moon was sixth in the ungraded Lighthouse at Monmouth. Rounding out the field are Queen Martha, Hark, Fabulous Babe and Yes She's a Lady.
