After Preakness winner Rachel Alexandra defeated the Kentucky Derby winner, Mine That Bird, she took on the boys for the second time in the Haskell Invitational at Monmouth to defeat Belmont winner Summer Bird. What happened was a performance for the ages. We may not see another one like this for a long time.
(Rachel Alexandra is #6 in the yellow and red silks)
(On a personal note, I was screaming so loud during this race, my neighbors thought I was being attacked and called the house. Note to self: shut windows during big races from now on…)
