The 134th running of the Preakness Stakes was won Saturday by Rachel Alexandra. She was the first filly to win since 1924. Rachel Alexandra took the early lead and held on at the end of the 1 3/16 miles at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore.
Rachel Alexandra was rode by Calvin Borel,who rode her to a sixth straight victory.
Rachel Alexandra beat Mine That Bird, ridden by Mike Smith the Hall of Fame jockey, by a length. It's nice to see a girl win even if it is a horse.
I would have loved to have gone to the race. If I had I would have checked out Westgate to see if I could have made a reservation.
