Rachel Alexandra has already captivated the Thoroughbred racing world with breathtaking performances and record-setting wins. Today at Saratoga, the 3-year-old filly will seek history when trying to become the first female to win the Woodward Stakes (gr. I)—a feat that would almost certainly lock up Horse of the Year honors and stamp the 3-year-old as one of the best fillies of all time.

Rachel Alexandra will face seven males in the 1 1/8-mile Woodward, which is the feature of a 12-race Saratoga card that also includes the $300,000 Forego (gr. I). Post time for the $750,000 Woodward, which will be shown live on HRTV and TVG, is scheduled for 5:52 p.m. EDT
