The Preakness wasn't reallya surprise although I feel that Friesan Fire and Pioneerof the Nile really did a disservice to themselves by not battling for the lead early on in the race.
Once Rachel got an easy tracking position on the outside of Big Drama it was just a matter of whether or not Musket Man or Mine That Bird could get to her. Mine That Bird couldn't, unfortunately. But the gelded son of Birdstone ran a brilliant race and would easily win the Eclipse Award for three year olds should he win the Belmont.
But winning the Belmont won't be easy should horses like Charitable Man and Dunkirk show up. Those two might be just as good as Rachel and Mine That Bird and they will be fresh.
