Wonderful photos,thank you very much,Cherokee!
We watched the whole 134th on TV & I'm sure we saw a lot more than those who were @Pimlico. It's nice to have the photos to remember this event. I wanted Calvin & Mine that bird & Rachael Alexandra (girl power) to place 1& 2. I got my wish so it was extremely gratifying!What a beautiful filly! What a HIGH!!!

You are very welcome, Schmerty! :4u:

Glad your favorite won, in this case the filly. I did not plan on watching but did. I was very worried when one horse buckled the jockey off before the start. And I'm just thrilled that all the horses and jockeys are fine. Rachel Alexandra is very fast, she had actually not a good post to start from being #13, all the way outside. But she jumped to the top and reminded there to eventually win.

Mine That Bird is also an outstanding horse, IMO. If the track would have been a little longer, I think he would have won. I'm not sure but I think Preakness is the shortest track. And Belmont the longest. Therefore I doubt Rachel will be running at Belmont. Mine That Bird almost got her. Which is amazing as he was at the very end and took off like a rocket during the race.

For sure, two amazing horses! Congratulations again to both of them!
