With three days left to vote, Carryover voters are split with regards to the best moment of the Triple Crown: Mine That Bird's Derby win or Rachel Alexandra's Preakness triumph.
My vote would go to Rachel. My reasons being the electricity she garnered for the sport, the way she won it, and the circumstances surrounding her going into the race.
1. She wasn't even nominated to the TC.
2. She was blocked for a time being from getting into the starting gates by Ahmed Zayat, Mark Allen, and Marylou Whitney.
3. She was purchased by wine magnate Jess Jackson.
4. Then she goes out and wins the race.
5. She has a great ass.
Racing has a super star and it's a girl.
While Mine That Bird's win was both shocking and impressive, for once this season will be remembered for its Preakness winner and not the Derby winner.

By stating that Rachel Alexandra's Preakness win was the memorable moment of the 2009 Triple Crown because she has a "great ass" is appalingly sexist and shows the extreme machismo climate that exists in horse racing.
Did you ever even consider taking a moment to check out Mine that Bird's ass? Of course not!
And for the record, Mine that Bird's posterior is nothing short of pristine. God, if I was ten years younger and a horse, I would show that colt the way to the winner's circle - if you catch my drift.
Whew, is it getting hot in here or is it just me?
I did consider Mine That Bird's rump and, quite frankly, it is flat with little definition. He couldn't fill up a pair of jeans if he tried.
Love your senses of humor, both Brendan's and the anonymous visitor's.
And I write that as I sit here beside a farting dog. I kid you not. ... Which, believe it or not, is also a book series ("Walter the Farting Dog Goes on a Cruise," etc.) and per Good Housekeeping is about to be a movie starring none other than The Jonas Brothers.
You can't make that stuff up.
Whitney was actually the one who
was going to make it possible for Rachel Alexandra to run if the others entered horses to keep her out. If the race filled, Whitney would have withdrawn Luv Guv so that the filly could run.
no wonder you got fired you prick. "She's got a great ass." You are a dumb ass.
Teresa,
It may not be as simple as that. Sure, she would have withdrawn Luv Guv, but it was not after some behind the scenes work with Ahmed Zayat and Mark Allen.
Marylou Whitney knows how to play ball.

Listen, it's called a sense of humor. If you're going to comment, keep it civil and — if this is possible — mildly intelligent.
