Horse racing's leading ladies are back at work.
Horse of the Year Rachel Alexandra zipped five furlongs at Churchill Downs on Monday, while unbeaten mare Zenyatta was just as impressive in a work at Hollywood Park.
Rachel Alexandra covered five furlongs in 1:00.40, second-fastest of the 14 horses who worked the distance.
Trainer Steve Asmussen says the 4-year-old filly ``looked great'' and ``all options are open'' regarding her next start.
