Kentucky Derby Winner Super Saver Works Out at Churchill Downs For The Preakness Stakes 2010
Posted on Monday, May 10th, 2010
Kentucky Derby winner Super Saver breezed 3 furlongs at Churchill Downs to prepare for the Preakness Stakes 2010. It was his first work since capturing the Run for the Roses.
Race horse trainer Todd Pletcher said Monday he was pleased with the effort and believes Super Saver should have little trouble bouncing back for the Preakness on Saturday.
With jockey Calvin Borel aboard, Super Saver covered three-eighths of a mile in 36.60 seconds. Calvin Borel said the 3-year-old colt appeared to be sharp and no worse for wear after beating Ice Box by 2 1/2-lengths in the Kentucky Derby on May 1.
Super Saver will likely be the favorite in what looks to be a full Preakness Stakes field of 14. Derby Trial winner Hurricane Ike, who is also headed to the Preakness Stakes, worked a half-mile in a quick 46.60 seconds.

Filly Rachel Alexandra’s Preakness Win One of Top 10 Sports Moments In 2009
Posted on Wednesday, December 9th, 2009
TIME.com listed filly Rachel Alexandra‘s win in the Preakness Stakes as one of the top 10 sports moments in 2009. A quote from the TIME web site regarding filly Rachel Alexandra:
Filly Rachel Alexandra is such a strong racehorse that jockey Calvin Borel, after winning the Kentucky Derby on Mine That Bird, decided to dump that colt before the Preakness Stakes and take a ride with Rachel instead. Borel was the first Derby-winning jockey in 134 years to race on a different horse for the Preakness, and the gamble paid off… She never tired and held off a furious push from Mine That Bird to win the race by a length, becoming the first filly in 85 years to take the Preakness.
