Old news by now to track junkies, the announcement by Preakness winner Rachel Alexander's co-owners was released late last week.
Details are here.
Too many races, too little time between them, put her at risk.
I'm disappointed.
But I'd rather see her miss the Stakes this weekend than shorten her career.
The neat thing about this is it sets up Calvin Borel, the jockey who won this year's Kentucky Derby aboard Mine That Bird and rode Rachel Alexander to the winner's circle in the Preakness, to be the first ever jockey to win the three jewels in the Triple Crown on different horses.
