After Eight Belles’ death last year, I just don’t have the heart to say that Rachel Alexandra should be in the Derby instead of the Oaks. Because to lose another, literally beautiful filly would be heartbreaking.
But she does look like the kind of horse that wins the Triple Crown.

Alternately, because it is Triple Crown season, the NYT has put their racing blog, “The Rail” back up.
UPDATE: Rachel Alexandra took the lillies, finishing 20.25 lengths ahead of the rest of the field. Insane.
