Favorite Filly Finishes First

Rachel Alexandra became the first filly to win the Preakness Stakes since 1924, holding off a late charge by Kentucky Derby winner Mine That Bird to capture the middle jewel of the Triple Crown on Saturday by a length.
Calvin Borel, who rode Mine That Bird in the Derby, switched to Rachel Alexandra and guided her to a sixth straight victory.
Rachel Alexandra and Borel made history Saturday. A lot of history. She became the first filly to win the Preakness since Nellie Morse in 1924, and he became the first jockey to win the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness on different horses in the same year.
