     COMMENTS: Four-legged Horse Favored to Win Stakes

NBC News also offered cross-promotion for Saturday's programming on NBC Sports. Both Anne Thompson and CBS' Michelle Miller (no link) selected the girls-vs-boys angle to preview the second leg of horse racing's Triple Crown as a "four-legged filly with a sweet disposition who loves peppermints," as NBC's Thompson put it, has been installed as favorite in the Preakness Stakes. The last time a female won the stakes was 85 years ago.

It is a good job that Rachel Alexandra has four legs: three would be a hindrance and five a disqualification.
