Dolph Morrison bred Rachel Alexandra but was so unimpressed in the early stages of her development that he twice contemplated selling her. She was entered in the 2006 Keeneland November breeding stock sale as a weanling only to be withdrawn when x-rays revealed a minor issue in her development. Morrison sent the daughter of Medaglia d’Oro to Jimmy Dodwell’s Diamond D Ranch in Texas the following summer to be broken with the intention of putting her up for auction in Florida.
