Looking for the results of the Preakness Stakes 2009? Eager to watch the video replay of Rachel Alexandra’s win at the Preakness Stakes? Look no furhter because we have thw video right here, detailing the emphatic win of the filly, the first filly to win the Preakness Stakes in 85 years.

As the video results clearly show, it was a masterful and worthy win for Rachel Alexandra. She shot to the front at the start and wasn’t seriously challenged until a late surge by Kentucky Derby winner Mine That Bird. She led by a head at the quarter and
half-mile poles. She stretched it to a half-length at the three-quarters pole. She was ahead by four lengths going down the stretch. In the end, Rachel Alexandra, the 9-5 favorite, won by a length in her first race against the big boys.

But it was a hard-fought win. Her first challenge was to get rid of Big Drama, a persistent presence from inside down the backside and into the final turn. Once she shook him loose and opened up the four-length lead at the top of the stretch, Mine That Bird made a run at her. And it looked like he would catch up. But her ran out of turf. The lead of Rachel Alexandra was too big to overcome. In the end, the Derby winner’s surge was not enough, or too late.
