Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Super-filly Rachel Alexandra is Preakness favorite:
"Fantastic filly Rachel Alexandra may be a latecomer to the 2009 Triple Crown, but she's still the early favorite to win Saturday's Preakness Stakes.

She is definitely the one to beat," said D. Wayne Lukas, who saddled Winning Colors in '88. "She hasn't even been asked yet to run (hard) in any of her races. She's got a big advantage, plus she's very, very talented."

http://www.bangkokpost.com/media/content/20090514/32817.jpg

"Rachel Alexandra is among 13 horses entered for Saturday's Preakness Stakes.

The standout filly was entered Wednesday to run against the boys, along with 50-1 Kentucky Derby winner Mine That Bird and Derby runner-up Pioneerof the Nile.

Rachel Alexandra's new owners paid a $100,000 supplemental fee to get her in because she wasn't nominated to any of the Triple Crown races. The expectation was that she would compete only against her own gender."

The filly's name is Rachel Alexandra and she's running today in the number 13 post position at the Preakness. FYI - a filly has not won the Preakness since 1924. Girl power!

Here she is winning this year's Kentucky Oaks at Churchill Downs:

VERY impressive!
