Rachel Alexandra lost again. The reigning Horse of the Year was beaten by a head in her return to Churchill Downs on Friday, losing a stretch duel to Unrivaled Belle in the $400,000 La Troienne Stakes. It was the 4-year-old filly's second loss this year, both times as the heavy favorite. Rachel Alexandra was sent off at 1-5 odds, but came up short under Calvin Borel.
