Even though it was great to see a filly win the Preakness (girl power!) I was still pulling for Mine That Bird since I'd love to see a Triple Crown winner during my lifetime. Another half a furlong and I think he would have caught her - I hope he wins the Belmont. I doubt Rachel Alexandra will run in the Belmont - her running style just doesn't work with a race that long.
Why do these horses only have one year where they can try to win the Triple Crown?
