Rachel Alexandra Beats Boys in Preakness

Favored filly Rachel Alexandra, winner of this year's Kentucky Oaks, beat Kentucky Derby winner Mine That Bird by a length to take the Preakness Stakes, the second jewel in Thoroughbred Racing's Triple Crown. Musket Man was third, another 1 1/2 length back. This is the first time the filly that won the Kentucky Oaks ran in the Preakness.
