Horse racing mania. Who'd have thought?

Wow! Not in a million years would I consider myself a fan of horse racing, but Saturday's race had me on the edge of my seat. Not because it was a photo finish (Rachel Alexandra won by 3/4 of a length...not a lot, but definitely not the closest finish the Preakness has ever seen.) I was more intrigued by the story behind the two favorites, Rachel Alexandra and Mine That Bird.
