Bio
A Stonestreet Stables homebred filly out of 2009 Horse of the Year Rachel Alexandra, Rachel's Valentina made her career debut on Aug. 2, 2015 at Saratoga Race Course and closed from off the pace to win by two lengths.
The bay filly by Bernardini was then entered in the Grade 1 Spinaway Stakes and punched her ticket to the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies with a victory over highly regarded Tap to It. In the Breeders' Cup the filly finished second to eventual champion 2-year-old filly Songbird. Rachel's Valentina herself was named a finalist for that award.
