Looking at the archives...

[APny]

I just skimmed through the Preakness sheet archives and noticed something interesting.  There are several horses who I would have thought would have \"bounced\" coming off tops or close to a top in the derby but still ran as good or close to as good in the Preakness.  I originally thought Rachel would be a complete toss in the Preakness from a betting standpoint but after seeing what\'s happened in the past I\'m not so sure.  I know she\'s a filly and they are more susceptible to bounce but as previously stated by some she could bounce a ton and still beat this field.  Especially since she\'s getting weight.
