Today, the 134th Preakness Stakes was run and for the first time since 1924 a filly won!
Not only did Rachael Alexandra win the race, she ran it out front from start to finish.
Not only did she own the race the entire way through, but she started from post position 13 - no horse has ever won the Preakness from this gate.
This is truly a remarkable event that occurred in rainy Baltimore today.
So, in honor of this brilliant run by a once in a century mare, I figuratively toss into the air my big brimmed Preakness bonnet and raise in a toast my Blackeyed Susan (a wonderful drink if you've never had one) to Rachael Alexandra.
You go, Girl!
See you in New York for the Belmont Stakes in early June.
