Clairiere races past Travel Column to win the Rachel Alexandra Stakes under Joe Talamo
The prep races at the Fair Grounds brought out some of the bright prospects for the 2021 classics, and the winners of both the Grade 2 Rachel Alexandra and the G2 Risen Star Stakes are a filly and a colt marked for classic potential by their immediate antecedents.
Stonestreet Stable s Clairiere (by Curlin) won the Rachel Alexandra and is by a Preakness Stakes and Breeders Cup Classic winner out of a mare by a Preakness winner, Bernardini (A.P. Indy). Juddmonte s Mandaloun won the Risen Star and is by the sire of 2020 Kentucky Derby and Breeders Cup Classic winner Authentic (Into Mischief) out of a mare by Belmont Stakes winner Empire Maker (A.P. Indy).
