Horse of the Year Rachel Alexandra and her
six-day old colt by fellow dual Horse of the Year Curlin, were taken to the
Rood and Riddle Equine Clinic in Lexington, Kentucky, as a precautionary measure after
her delivery for pain management related to the birth.

Rachel has been under the
care of Dr. Bonnie Barr, who is ensuring both mother and foal are doing well.

“Rachel has proven to be an extraordinary mother and taking to her feisty colt
right away,” Stonestreet Farm owner Barbara Banke said.

“I’m a Rachel-chondriac. We are
taking every precaution to ensure that Rachel and her colt are healthy and
happy.”
