1.0 link 204128 <![CDATA[The Preakness: Fear and Loathing of a Fantastic Filly]]> http://www.huffingtonpost.com/matthew-debord/the-preakness-fear-and-lo_b_204128.html When I wrote about the Kentucky Derby earlier this month, I wasn't sure horse racing could get any weirder. And then it got weirder. Here's what happened.

Mine That Bird, a 50-1 longshot, won the Derby. Now obviously, if there's to be a 2009 Triple Crown winner, Mine That Bird needs to follow up victory in Kentucky with victory in Maryland at this Saturday's Preakness. And then go on to win the Belmont Stakes in New York.

What an inspirational story...
