Looks like we have a very interesting Preakness

Rachel Alexandra has been sold to....

Not Darley
Not Coolmore
Not IEAH
Not Fox Hill Farm
Not Zayat Stable

She got sold to Jess Jackson and Harold T. McCormick (whose he?), link. I really like Jess Jackson who unlike his partners that are better known as Midnight Cry, he seems to be clean. Although her what appears to be new trainer Steve Asmussen has some drug positives, he has sucess with 3yo fillies winning the KY Oaks in 2005 with Summerly. I feel bad about Hal Wiggins if he does lose Rach.

And oh yeah, she could show up for the Preakness*, which would put Calvin Borel in a predictment. Does he stay on Mine That Bird, or does he jump to what he says, "the best horse I've ever been on". Lets see Derby winner, Oaks winner, Derby winner, Oaks winner. Well he has a little bit over a week to figure that out. If he does jump off Mine, look for Canadian Chantal Sutherland (Who has ridden him before and a star in Animal Planet's Jockeys) to ride him. She would try to become only the second female to win a TC race (after Julie Krone) and possibly pass Emma-Jayne Wilson as the top female jock in Canada. Although apprently other jockeys agents have conntacted Mine's connections, just in case Rach does go to Preakness and Cal rides her.

This will be a fun week and half leading up to the second leg of the Triple Crown.

* I should note that I rather see her in the Belmont then the Preakness. A. she's be a fresher horse, b. I might be going to the Belmont. But she's not my horse, but I do hope they make the best decideson for her.
