Rachel Alexandra!

What a filly! If you didn't see her incredible Preakness, here it is in HQ video (youtube is awesome!):



Watch Rachel take an early lead and NEVER give it up! Watch the incredible Kentucky Derby winner Mine That Bird grab second place in the final moments, right behind the speed demon filly.

Rachel's ears were twitching as she was intently listening to jockey Calvin Borel-- just itching for the signal from Calvin to break loose and turn on the afterburners. This girl LOVES to run.

(And what about Mine That Bird? He was no fluke. I just love this horse! Watch him in the race, too-- he ran brilliantly. Came up from last to sneak up on Rachel Alexandra in the final seconds. Wow.)

Congrats to Rachel Alexandra and Calvin Borel! The first filly to win the Preakness in 85 years. Well done!
