Rachel Alexandra could be racing in the week's pre Kentucky Derby event.

Owner Jess Jackson is considering running the 4-year-old filly in the $400,000 La Troienne Stakes next Friday at Churchill Downs.

Rachel Alexandra hasn't run since finishing second to Zardana in the New Orleans Ladies on March 13, a performance that ended plans for her to meet unbeaten mare Zenyatta at the Apple Blossom.

Presently, only odds to win the Kentucky Derby itself were being offered at SBG Global with odds on the La Trojenne Stakes to be released later in the week.
