Shackleford Shatters Triple Crown Dreams
Animal Kingdom, the 3-year-old defending Kentucky Derby champion, was favored to win Saturday's Preakness but finished second after coming on hard down the backstretch. The day belonged to Shackleford, who looked great off the start. Shackleford with jockey Jesus Castanon was the first to turn for home and the first to cross the finish line. Astrology took third and Dialed In came in fourth.

Maybe it was the dirt flying in his face that he didn?t appreciate or maybe it was the pace coupled with the late charge. Whatever the case may be, this much is for certain: There will be no Triple Crown winner this year. Animal Kingdom, the 3-year-old defending Kentucky Derby champion, was favored to win Saturday's Preakness but finished second after coming on hard down the backstretch. The day belonged to Shackleford who had a great start and a strong finish. Following Animal Kingdom in third place was Astrology with Dialed In coming in fourth.
Baltimore's Pimlico Race Course featured a full field of 14 thoroughbreds vying for the Preakness Stakes, the second of three jewels in the highly coveted Triple Crown of thoroughbred racing. Two down and one to go. The Belmont Stakes takes place on June 11 at Belmont Park.
Here's an interesting factoid: The last 10 Preakness winners (and 13 of the past 14 winners) went on to be named the three-year-old champion at the end of the year. Another interesting factoid: It was at Pimlico in 1938 where Seabiscuit beat Triple Crown winner War Admiral in The Match of the Century.
