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!"
