Oceanport, New Jersey

What is an Elite Meeting without the current reigning Horse Of The Year?  Especially when that horse is the Haskell champion.  With the temperatures hovering near 100 degrees 2009 Haskell Champ Rachel Alexandra returned to the shore for an encore in The Lady's Secret Stakes.  And she didn't disappoint as she would go on to win the $400,000 event by three lengths in front of an appreciative crowd and national television audience.  Afterwards both horse and jockey spent a minute after the race to cool down before taking the win photo.  For all the stakes racing action see the stakes calendar below.
