Loved watching her race! The Preakness was the best! Love to see the girls show the boys how it's done lol

[@secretariatgirl4249]

Aussie racing has boys against girls all the time, unlike here.

Horse have a huge ❤

[@gusgus8134]

Sorrels with blazes. Best horses ever!!!❤️

[@frantroje3177]

She is an awesome horse!

[@carolreilly4785]

She'll be missed at the track. Looking forward to her babies

[@joycee5493]

What a record… chestnut mares😊

[@staceyspangler219]

She will pass it on to the right sire you will get more like he she is a nice filly good days ahead

[@pharoahtc2216]

I was sitting in a bar on River St. In Savannah when SS ran that tremendous Preakness, was so into the race,forgot where I was and got quite vocal ,embarrassing my wife for a moment. Pretty laid back but not that day! Secretariat would have beaten her that Saturday in May, but not by much! And Authentic turned out to be the champ! Thank you SS!!

[@janetgallo5720]

Never saw her until this video. So I have to just say again. She’s beautiful.

[@Kaleidofy.FaeryGirL13]

She is gorgeous!!! And she seems 2 have an alert, intelligent, fun 🤩 👁.😍😍😘😘

[@secretariatgirl4249]

She's magnificent! The video of her sale ...wow... I visited Kenny's farm 5 years ago, when his wife greeted us with a baby in her arms. Lovely operation and great people!

[@franklinrodriguez3505]

gran yegua, toda una campeona

[@janetgallo5720]

Damn, she looks so familiar. Or I’m just not delineating much anymore because she reminds me of secretariat in some ways.

[@johnwalsh3215]

SD was a special racer beating the boys in the Preakness and if she makes half as good of mom as she was a racer she’s gonna make a terrific mom! Thanks for the memories on the track sweet girl we will miss you!

[@spirituallifecoachinginsti7207]

GREAT HORSE......LOVED TO SEE HER RUN WITH THE BEST......!!!

[@keithallsebrook2797]

What a spectacularly beautiful MARE. She'll have some beautiful babies.

[@jenniferbeyer6412]

Why not going to Breeders Cup? She's beautiful.

[@AuthenticMage]

She hasn’t been the same horse this year.

Swiss Skydiver should make it in the millions in FT bidding. I am expecting Stonestreet Stables to be right in the bidding. My only concern is whether Swiss Skydiver will foal safely since Rachel Alexandra's second foal was a life-threatening experience for her. I have heard it said that sometimes, the top mares are too masculine to carry a foal well. Zenyatta has not produced a winner yet, and has absorbed some foals. Winx absorbed her first foal, which often happens with a first foal. We shall see. Any filly who can beat the top boys in a Grade 1 race like the Preakness then come back and keep performing well should sell at record or near-record price.

[@melitaharris228]

It was so sad that Rachel Alexandra almost lost her life. I am glad her owners decided to not breed her again and make sure she has a good life and not risk her life to just make money off her.

[@joseramirez-kq9zd]

if she is that special why not let her stay with the family and the people she is used to go arround , after all the satisfaction and money she produce

[@chrispafrieddreams9118]

She beat the HOY need I say more? To bad it became an advertisement for her sale, towards the end.. Who knows, maybe the owner is broke! Takes nothing away from the horse..❤️🙏👉🇺🇸

[@melitaharris228]

I am not a horse breeding expert but what if she was bred to American Pharoah?

[@peterzivanovich5941]

Que pasó 🙀 con la buen yegua se retira o se va como madre si la ponen con inti into my ship

[@rosscardenas6636]

authentic?

[@katyhess5967]

I love this filly! GIRLS RULE! What I REALLY don't like is when champions are sold in the sale's ring. To a race fan, there's something so disrespectful and even a bit creepy. These farms, all go on and on with their accolades, but in the end, the horse is sold like a piece of meat for money. It's creepy and disconcerting to fans like me. We idolize, get extremely attached, and love them. It's the same thing with Royal Delta, Tepin, Song Bird, Beholder....have enough respect to have something private....you're selling my girl! I was really upset with Song Bird!!! Really insulting to the beautiful horse and to their fans!!!!
