2009 Eclipse Horse of the Year Rachel Alexandra is horse racing's undisputed leading lady. Her claim to fame includes a historic win in the 2009 Preakness Stakes, a record-setting win in New York's Mother Goose Stakes and her 20 1-4 length victory in the Kentucky Oaks, which was the largest winning margin in that race's 135-year history. That dramatic win inspired the owner of Curlin, Stonestreet Stables' Jess Jackson to buy the filly with Harold McCormick and move her from trainer Hal Wiggins to Steve Asmussen, who entered her in the Preakness. Calvin Borel, Rachel's jockey in the Oaks, had piloted Kentucky Derby winner Mine That Bird, and was expected to ride him in the Preakness. But so solid was his faith in Rachel Alexandra that he opted to ride her. "This is the greatest horse I've ever been on in my life," he said. The glamorous Rachel has even posed for Vogue magazine, and has a line of vintage wines named after her! Detailed and painted by hand.
