Rachel Alexandra and foal doing fine

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."
