Will it be the Kentucky Derby upset Mine That Bird, filly Rachel Alexandra, or another thoroughbred in the 13 horse lineup, to win the 2009 Preakness Stakes? I took some time this morning to research many of the questions being asked regarding today's second jewel in the Triple Crown of horse racing, the Preakness Stakes at Pimlico racetrack in Baltimore Maryland.
