Preakness... who will win?

[CBR]

I hope the super filly Rachel Alexandra takes it. Anybody else watching?

1. Im going to be watching

Mind That Bird with jockey Mike Smith also looks good. However, it does seem everyone believes Rachel Alexandra is going to take it.

I think ESPN's coverage starts at like 11:00 or something??? and I like Rachel Alexandra too......she's a big girl hope she can pull it off...... :applause: :applause: :applause:

3. Why does the remainder of the Triple Crown not get the same press as the Derby?

To me as an outsider looking into the horse racing world the pageantry surrounding the Kentucky Derby and the marked fall off in coverage with the Preakness and Belmont Stakes makes the last two races seem almost anticlimactic. It's almost as if they should make the Derby the last race, the Super Bowl for their sport if you will.
