Rachel Alexandra wins Preakness Stakes
Becoming the first filly to win the Preakness since 1924, Rachel Alexandra ran a time of 1:55.08, just over a length ahead of Mine That Bird.
Rachel Alexandra won the Kentucky Oaks two weeks ago, was sold in a multimillion dollar deal and then entered in the Preakness by new new owner. No one was more confident in her than regular rider Calvin Borel, who jumped off Mine That Bird to ride her.
Fans expressed their excitement about the filly's win on Twitter.
4cast4you What a good horse race! I think if the Preakness was as long as the Kentucky Derby, we'd be talking about triple crown chances right now.
ynotkissme #Preakness Boy, that was an exciting race! I think it has all 2 do with the jockey! My horse came in 3rd so glad I didn't bet for real 2 win
kenkobel wow, great Preakness. I hope a lot of non-horse racing fans got to see that race and realize how great the sport is.
gregzimmerman Wow! Great Preakness run! Too bad for Mine That Bird but great run for Rachel Alexandra!
ctgirl4life Woohoo!! Rachel Alexandra wins the Preakness! And who said the girls can't run with the boys?! :o)
klwurth Just watched Rachel Alexandra win the Preakness. Way to run like a girl!
agardina Rachel Alexandra wins the Preakness! And to think, race officials said "only women" would bet on her. Guess they were a little off!
