Her owner did not know what to expect because she was off of racing for 2 1/2 months since her last start. After this win, Dolphus Morrison received numerous calls and offers to purchase Rachel Alexandra, all of which he declined.

The Martha Washington 2009
On February 15, 2009, Rachel opened her 3-year old campaign by winning the 8 furlongs (1 mile) $50,000 Martha Washington at Oaklawn Park in Hot Springs, Arkansas. She took the stalking position for most of the race and then romped by 8 lengths breaking the stakes record for time at 1:36.40, shaving off more than 2 seconds from the previous stakes record of 1:38.80 set by Devil House in 2007!
