Half to Rachel Alexandra to Debut at Fair Grounds

On a Dec. 28 afternoon of racing with three stakes races at Fair Grounds Race Course & Slots, it is the pedigree of a runner in the eighth race, a $45,000 maiden special weight for 2-year-olds, that is most noticeable. First-time starter Airstreem, a Tapit colt out of the Roar mare Lotta Kim, is a half brother to Rachel Alexandra, who won 13 of 19 races and more than $3.5 million over her Hall of Fame career.
