2009 Preakness Stakes

- Calvin Borel made the right choice and history was made May 16 at Pimlico, when for the first time the Kentucky Oaks (gr. I) winner not only ran in the Preakness Stakes (gr. I) but won the race in convincing fashion. Rachel Alexandra won the middle jewel of the Triple Crown by a length over Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (gr. I) winner Mine That Bird.
The week following her win in the Oaks, Rachel Alexandra was purchased by Jess Jackson and Harold McCormick and transferred from trainer Hal Wiggins to Steve Asmussen. Borel, who had ridden both Rachel Alexandra in the Oaks and Mine That Bird in the Derby, was asked to continue riding the filly and he agreed.
Mine That Bird's trainer, Chip Woolley, picked up Mike Smith on the Derby winner.

She was such a superstar. Pure class. Amazing how she crushed so many top horses.
mine that bird ran out of track
Dam that was impressive. Coming from 13th post and going out front early didnt think she had a chance. Calvin was the man
Mine That Bird…one of the best closers of all time. Incredible speed at the end. He found a lot of traffic on the way to the top. Otherwise he would have won.
Agreed
You do know he never won another race his derby? Great horse but an all time horse
Maybe, maybe not.
The question is whether Borel would have won on Mine That Bird.
My question has always been what if Rachel Alexandra carried the same weight as all the other horses?
@@lawrencedockery9032 I doubt that makes as much difference as some folks seem to think it does.
I’m glad the filly won but Mine that Bird ran a very game race.
She was the only FILLY amongst the COLTS, well done, she is so calm and collected.
And she beat American Pharoah's father!
Dude borel is such a bitch he left mine that bird after wining the derby with him. Pathetic. And bird still was closing fast.
Rachel’s first foal was a colt named Jess’s Dream after her owner who died in 2011.
Love watching this over and over again!
Great ride, Boo, you are the best and one of the best jocks that I know! Congratulations again!
This gave me goosebumps.
Total elegance, beauty and awesomness!!!
Big Drama lived up to his name LOL.
An outstanding race run with good pace!
Tom Durkin: "...and Mine That Bird, the Derby winner where he was in the Derby at this point he is last....." (2:48) It is clear Tom Durkin assumed his mistake in 135th. Kentucky Derby in the same way Steve Harvey did in Miss Universe 2016 Contest: with a good sense of humor. Greetings from Venezuela
I wish Calvin would get to ride a horse in the 2022 Ky. Derby. He deserves a ride.
He retired years ago?
Rachel looks like a super star
I would have loved Mine That Bird to have been the victor. I loved you Rachel, but Mine That Bird was my boy!
Well it lost so sucked in

Easy to tell the diiference for Mine That Bird in the Derby and Stakes, Jockey rode him perfect in the Derby and had tons of luck, Jockey made terrible errors and had no luck in the Stakes. His final stretch kick was there, but by the time it could be used it was too late. To try and use a late run on the inside again was never going to work, should have just let him run wide and see if he made it, my guess is he would have. A truly amazing kick on that horse.
No shame in finishing second to the brilliant Rachel Alexandra.
And The filly did it- Tom Durkin.
Calvin rides her like a charm ❤️
Race Call: Tom Durkin.
'09 Preakness Stakes entries... EVERY Thoroughbred is a decedent of Northern Dancer. Well except the Big Drama
The 'Dancers stud fee started at $10,000 fee in 1965 for alive foal. When he retired at the age of 26 (1987) mare owners paid $1 million for a breeding, without any guarantee. Unheard of even today, more then 30 years later.
Today the question is not if a race horse has Northern Dancer in its pedigree, but if does NOT have it. He has sired a total of 146 stakes winners.
The 'Dancer "The WORLD'S Sire of Sires!!!
must be a canuck
If Mine that Bird got a similar trip as the Derby he wins this race, he was in the 6 path, while RA was in the 2 path with 4 length lead as the turned for home..too much ground to make up..
What A Race Call By Tom Durkin...For Me, It's A Toss-Up Between This And "Tiznow Wins It For America"
Bird was no fluke. He got top 3 finishes in all the triple crown races. I think Mike Smith cost him the Preakness
mike smith cost zenatta the breeders cup classic she should have won back to back
@Jerald Hawkins, I won that race. Had to go with Blame that day, he was 5 for 5 at Churchill. All my friends were mad at me because I told then Blame would win the night before the race. Too sentimental for Zenyatta
Mike fucked up on Holy Bull too
That filly put the an end of the triple crown plans for mind that bird
As she would have for bob baffert two crown winners
I still regret not seeing the clash for the ages that season Rachel Alexandra versus Zenyatta. How did they avoid each other ?
They should run in the classic ...but....
I'll bet Durkin kept an eye on Mine That Bird this time.
I couldn't understand why they tried to run the same race with Bird instead of staying closer, but he still almost won.
Great run by a filly!
Big Drama made a big drama 😂
I think Mine that Bird would have beat Alexandra if he didn't have to go to the outside. But still a good race.
Did I hear Pioneer Of The Nile?!?!?!?!
Yes you heard American Pharoah's sire.
I thought so XD
@@cadancelee1774 ??
Mine that bird was so close
Not really close
@@nickytyrrell8570 The bird was running her down like a train man. Makes you wonder if Borel didn't dump him to ride Rachel, what may have been.
S C still would have hold on for at least another 100 she won by a length who cares about mine that bird it lost
He was not close... bow down to Rachael.. she broke from 13 hole ,the bird 2 hole save ground and still ran out of ground. Rachael set all the fractions and destroyed them.
👍
GREAT FILLY! She is lucky Mine That Bird's Jockey didn't run the rail and get through. WHAT A RACE!
Mine that bird..its too late jocky
Good job mine that bird
It didn’t win what are u on about
darren desson no the better horse won shut up
darren desson he won so he’s better stop being salty my man
darren desson lol he beat it here with ease shut up man mine that bird is trash
darren desson oh sorry sorry que jay from the inbetweeners
Good job
Perfect ride by jockey Rachel Alexandra. All time take total control over Rachel Alexandra.

I'm a horse lover myself I ride horses I adore horses I collect horses little figures that's my hobby
Heavy Speed Rechal Alexandra Is The best
Question for y'all who know WAY better than I do. Could Rachel Alexandra have pulled the Triple Crown?
She didn’t run in the Derby, so no.
hypothetically im assuming you mean. personally i don't think so. she would have gotten caught up in that hot pace in the derby.
If any filly had the capability, it was Rachel Alexandra.
Had the easiest ride and shortest route. Not really better than MTB, just luckier.... which is often what it takes in horse racing.
She was the 1st horse to win from the outside pole! Also, the first filly to win in 85 years. Don't take anything from her.
Mine that Bird in Derby runs in the rail.
The Filly Triple Crown should be the Oaks-Preakness-Belmont.
All the jockey had to do was push that horse a little early
+dwayne Parham you have to admit though Rachel Alexandra is some horse
yeah. without a doubt. They shoulda kept her in all 3 races. her vs the kentucky derby winner. woulda been cool
They bought Rachel Alexandria from her original owner to try to beat mine that bird
Прикнесс стакес удел сильных лошадей
In her Prime She had too Much Speed and Talent over Zenyatta...She also had better Numbers than Zenyatta....Just do not see any way Zenyatta would have been able to catch and reel in Rachel....And if Rachel had a comfortable Trip she probably "effortlessly" holds off Zenyatta with energy left in the tank
Wow, Pioneer of the Nile had his flank handed to him by Rachel Alexandra and all the other horses. Well, at least his son would go on to do what he couldn't.
His son did not have to face a Rachael Alexandra.. so keep that in mind.
😫 wow. 11yrs later I realized Mindthatbird could of won. Mike takes them out during the last stretch, which not every horseis up to. Calvin rides the rail and cuts distance, the horse still has the legs to pull all the way through.
If you don't have the talent to carve your own trip from the front.. then you take what's given to you.. mike was denied the rail, everyone stayed on it unlike the derby which is also was another 1/16 in distance. Also rachael did not handle the track well and still destroyed them. Improve your prospective son.
ya horse os fast
Monster better then zenyata?
Horrible race by Mike Smith. Mine that Bird had to go way outside and just ran out of real estate. If the filly was so good, she should have ran in the Belmont. My heart goes out to Mine that Bird. Great little horse who just couldn't overcome his bad rider.
Bad ride, for sure, but Rachel beat older horses in the Woodward at Saratoga, which is more impressive.
I'm sure if it were up to Rachel, she would've been happy to run in the Belmont. Unfortunately, that wasn't her decision to make.
Rachel Alexander The Great!..R.A.T.G!.. this version of rachael is truly the best and horse of the year bar none!.. I remember the cry babies in Zenyatta camp that year complaining about we were robbed!..YEAH RIGHT! It was plain to everyone in the country that this campaign by Rachael was leading in the votes and sentiments and Zenyatta had to ship to meet her ,the camp had their chance and was scared that Zenyatta would have been beaten. (punks)!
Zenyatta's BC Classic win was the best win on the 09' resumes of either her or Rachel. But if forced to chose I would have to agree that Rachel's 09' campaign was better than the campaign Zenyatta put together that year or in any other year. However, taken collectively, Zenyatta's Horse of the Year 2010 campaign along with her HoY runner-up campaigns of 08' and 09' are superior to Rachel's single year masterpiece.
In short, between the two great female stars, Zenyatta owned the singular performance and/or accomplishment with her 09 BC Classic(and I can argue the 2nd best performance between them was Zenyatta's BC Classic 2nd in 2010, Rachel' 09 was the single best year either one had, and that Zenyatta has the more complete career.
@@jordanmiller3550 Zenyatta simply beat a bunch of yuppies with marginal talent year after year...rachael h.o.y is superior to Zenyatta best years put together... Zenyatta owners denied the public of one of the best showdown in racing history by dodging rachael... however he shipped to try and win the classic agaisnt blame... which blame had the better year against better competition and got the best of her( favouritism got her h.o.y over a horse that beat her) Zenyatta could not run that way against super talent like rachael and beat her... she would need distance help to catch her.
I still can't stand the fact that Calvin dumped the bird to ride another horse. You have to wonder what may have been otherwise. He was running her down easily.
I don't know about dump!.. he rode both and he had a choice he went with the best!... get your head out of your ass and get over yourself ...like you would have done the opposite.
@@garialmarsh6721 How was she the best if Mine that Bird had just won the KD? Use your noggin bud. He is a traitor.
@@WeFreestyleForever yeah ok Rachel Alexandra won the Kentucky Oaks by over 20 lengths and beat Bird in the Preakness but sure go on and say that Bird was the better of the 2. Calvin himself said that he would've felt confident on RA in the Derby against the colts, Bird included in that lineup. Only one person in the world rode both of those horses and come decision time, he went with the better of them. Jockeys gotta make a living too
Very simple. Rachel was a push button horse and uncomplicated. Mine that Bird the jockey needed a lot of luck and hope for a traffic free and clean trip. He made the right choice.

Swiss Skydiver beat her time by more than a second in a half!!!
We're talking about Rachel Alexandra you're talking about Swiss skydiver ... Swiss skydiver got beat by The lady her self MONOMY GIRLso what do you want to keep talking about his video is about Rachel get it together
They were too chicken too run her against zenyatta

If the Preakness was the Derby Length MTB would have won..Preakness is shorter than Derby never understood that....
Why don't you understand that
+pencilface One race tests stamina (well, sorta,) and the other quickness/speed. ???
Rachel was a super horse...under a better ride from Mike smith mine that bird could have won this race though....Mike did a good job nonetheless....2 supremely talented rachorses!!!
NONSENSE
Was it necessary for the dumb rider to hit the horse after they had already passed the post .and won .
Couldn't win shit at 4.
