Rachel Alexandra won Preakness Stakes 134

Rachel Alexandra didn’t disappoint by becoming the first filly to win the Preakness Stakes in 85 years. Rachel Alexandra was the favorite all week opening at 7/2 odds to win and closing at 2/1. The last filly to win the Preakness was Nellie Morse.

Rachel Alexandra also was the first horse to win from post position 13 in the Preakness Stakes. It was never really close coming to the wire even though Derby winner Mine That Bird made a hard charge on the outside towards the end of the 1 and 3/16th mile track at Pimlico.

Rounding out the top 4 were Musket Man in third and Flying Private in fourth. Congrats to Rachel Alexandra and his rider Calvin Borel in making Preakness history.
