1. Very kewl race!

The announcer was MUCH better than the one for the Derby.

RA is a gorgeous horse! And a girl!

Her jockey was Calvin Borel, who rode Mine That Bird to
win at the Kentucky Derby but changed to Rachel Alexandra
for this race at the Preakness.

I think the jockey is the major factor here. The jockey
on Mine That Bird had to take his horse out too wide to
get around the pack, and that made the difference.

Great race!
