Okay, so I looked at Rachel Alexandra's PP's last night. I knew that she did not do well in her first race, finishing off the board that day. The winner of the race was Songtress, a Songandaprayer filly. So, being the intriguing mind that I am, I decided to go look for Songstress on Pedigree Query (not the most accute site, but it works). This is what I found out,

2 starts 1 win. And that's it, I confirmed this using Equineline.com's 5 cross pedigree which says that she made 2 starts and 1 win. So this got me thinking, what happend to her? My guess is being a Songandaprayer filly (Songandaprayer is by Unbridled's Song), she may have been injured. This would mean that the three fillies who won the races that Rachel was defeated in (Songtress, Debutante winner Garden District, and Pocahontas winner Sara Louise), have either not made a start at three (Sara Louise), have not showed their 2yo form (Garden District), or have just disapeered (Songtress).
So, what I'm asking is if anyone (which I doubt, but it's worth taking a shot), knows what happend to this filly, I would like to know. My best guess is that she suffered some kind of injury because of who her grandsire is (not nessarly always, but often UBS foals and grandfoals get injured), but I'm not 100% sure. Thanks everyone in advance!
