Rachel Alexandra beat the boys in Saratoga today to become the first female to win the Woodward Stakes thoroughbred horse race.

The 3-year-old filly held off Macho Again by a head to win her ninth-straight race.

It wasn't the only place where the filly beat the boys. Google Trends was dominated today by searches about college football results, but Rachel Alexandra searches were more popular. She even competed successfully with searches about the mysterious Google UFO logo.

Here is a YouTube video showing Rachel Alexandra's victory today.
