Champion filly Rachel Alexandra defeats Kentucky Derby winner Mine That Bird by 1 length in the thriller 2nd leg of the Triple Crown. YES! I won the exacta dudes lol! Rachel Alexandra who almost led throughout opened up her lead at the top of the stretch and won by a diminishing 1 length to a steady closing Mine That Bird who made a run from last.
Holds off a very gamely Mine That Bird.
Calvin Borel made the right choice and history was made May 16 at Pimlico, when for the first time, the Kentucky Oaks (gr. I) winner not only ran in the Preakness Stakes (gr. I) but won the race in convincing fashion. Rachel Alexandra won the middle jewel of the Triple Crown by a length over Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (gr. I) winner Mine That Bird. The week following her win in the Oaks, Rachel Alexandra was purchased by Jess Jackson and Harold McCormick and transferred from trainer Hal Wiggins to Steve Asmussen. Borel, who had ridden both Rachel Alexandra in the Oaks and Mine That Bird in the Derby, was asked to continue riding the filly and he agreed. Mine That Birds trainer, Chip Woolley, picked up Mike Smith on the Derby winner. It made for one of the most intriguing Preakness Stakes ever, and after drawing post 13, Borel knew he would have to send the filly from the outset, which he did. Big Drama, under John Velazquez, who had the rail, was an obvious pacesetter and he went with the filly as the field went down the stretch the first time and through the first turn. They went the opening quarter in :23.13 and the half in :46.71. Borel was able to open up just a bit on the backstretch but he had used the daughter of Medaglia dOro a great deal to get the lead and knew he had to try and slow the pace a bit. "I was comfortable early, but down the backside they started to pick it up," Borel said. Big Drama, who had skipped the Derby, was still in second down ...
The Super-Filly beats the boys, including Kentucky Derby winner Mine That Bird in the 2009 Preakness Stakes at Pimlico in Baltimore, MD

Mr. Borel rode MTB to the Derby win two weeks earlier. Rachel became the first filly to win the Preakness since 1925. The race was run on May 16, 2009.

www.HorseRaceGame.com - Visit cf1970 for classic racing footage http - This is the complete post-race interview of Hall of Fame jockey Laffit Pincay, Jr., after he rode Sham to second place behind SECRETARIAT in the 1973 Preakness Stakes. He puts on a brave face and says all the right things, but you can hear the total awe in his voice as he describes the action of the race. After this race, he privately admitted that he knew that there was no way any horse was going to beat SECRETARIAT in the Belmont.
www.HorseRaceGame.com - Visit cf1970 for classic racing footage http - After SECRETARIAT awed the overflow Pimlico crowd when he won the 1973 Preakness Stakes, the network was quick to get Ron Turcotte's reaction, and a replay showing a rarely, if ever, seen isolated camera view of him was played during the interview. Notice how, at the time this interview occurred, everyone was still fooled by the malfunctioning clock, which said that the final time was 1:55 (it was actually 1:53&2) and that the first quarter was abnormally slow. SECRETARIAT was so powerful that even jockeys, who are paid to keep time accurately down to within a few fifths of a second, couldn't sense just how fast he was moving. In reality, SECRETARIAT and Sham were both running in stakes record time, just like in the Kentucky Derby two weeks before. Enjoy!

This is up close and personal with Big Brown at the Preakness May 17, 2008. Maryland My Maryland is the state anthem and is playing while all of the horses are being led to the starting gate. You can hear the crowd go wild as Big Brown walks by. Our seats were right at the finish line, so a few minutes later, we got to watch him run by all of the other horses to capture the victory!
