SANTA ROSA, Calif., Feb. 11 (UPI) -- Jess Jackson, co-owner of 2009 Preakness winner Rachel Alexandra, has proposed a three-race battle with champion mare Zenyatta.
Jackson proposed the series Thursday, a day after a planned $5 million purse for the Apple Blossom race April 9 at Hot Springs, Ark., was put on hold because Jackson said Rachel Alexandra will not be ready.
