Personal Note: YEEEEEEEHAAAAAAA!

C'mon, admit it: among the many people watching the Preakness on television today, I can't have been the only one cheering filly Rachel Alexandra on down the stretch by yelling, "Go, go, go! Yes! Show those rich, white, jowly fossils NBC interviewed during the pregame what a GIRL can do!"

I know, I know. It's pointless to project human gender politics into the animal kingdom. Still, let me offer to all those dismissive gentlemen a hearty, twenty-first-century feminist "PHHHHHTTTHHHTTTBBBT!"

I was screaming loud enough to scare the NASCAR race fans across the street.

Heh. Too bad they weren't watching a real race. :-)

I know. *beams* I'm thoroughly pleased that Rachel took it to the boys.

*is waiting for the Ruffian comparisons; another big dark filly who could run with the boys*

Eek. I hope they lay off the Tragic Ending, though -- except that'll be hard to do at Belmont.

Speaking of Ruffian comparisons, hopefully Breyer use the gorgeous Ruffian model to repaint as Rachel Alexandra and not one of the pinheaded thoroughbred models. *laughs* Then I can have yet another gorgeous racehorse in my collection.
