Smartbid - Another good archive to pull up in preakness lore is the 2009 and lead up shows. I remember there was some interesting conversation around Rachel Alexandra as that was right after Jess Jackon had bought her and we all know the great display she put on in the actual race. I remember someone on that day saying when entries were drawn that Jess Jackson should go up to the board with a ruler and draw a line through her name. It's a good thing he ran her for the fans and she produced the way that she did. Some interesting commentary tho around that ATR surrounding the preakness if your interested.
