Abstract: Let $X$ be a smooth complex projective variety and let $Hinpic(X)$ be an ample line bundle. Assume that $X$ is covered by rational curves with degree one with respect to $H$ and with anticanonical degree greater than or equal to $(dimX-1)/2$. We prove that there is a covering family of such curves whose numerical class spans an extremal ray in the cone of curves $cone(X)$.
