Rachel Alexandra Destroyed Mine That Bird
eS El Duque:
BALTIMORE -- Rachel Alexandra became the first filly to win the Preakness since 1924, holding off a late charge by Kentucky Derby winner Mine That Bird to capture the middle jewel of the Triple Crown.
The only filly in the race, Rachel Alexandra went off as the 9-5 favorite. She moved to the front from the No. 13 post and took a big lead before Mine That Bird tested the filly in the stretch.
Musket Man finished third.
Rachel Alexandra, with jockey Calvin Borel on board, won in 1:55.08.
She paid $5.60, $4.60 and $3.60.

She didn't destroy Mine That Bird. Fantastic race by Mine That Bird, people were claiming that horse is a fluke. If Mike Smith would have been able to go along with Flying Private, Mine That Bird would have won.
Don Jacob:

Mine that Bird has nothing on Alexandra. That was not her best race since it looked like every other horse was trying to cut her off. There was a reason she was favored. I even had action on her to beat Mine that Bird on a side bet (-270).
Calvin Borel knows whats up, hes going for the triple crown lol
