Shackleford!!!


Shackleford wins 136th Preakness Stakes!!!
Wire to Wire!!
Flying dirt was a problem for Animal Kingdom and especially jockey John Velazquez, who told media members after the race he went through five pairs of goggles during the race. Still, he said, he through his mount had a shot at the quarter pole.
“We worked our way through, but it was a little too much to make up,” he said.

Belmont?

Any comments?

Breeders Cup

Watching the race today? Think Zenyatta will do it? They say she’s, “the greatest female racehorse of all-time”, an undefeated champion who has won all 19 races she’s entered, including 13 “Grade 1” events, the highest rung of racing. Her winning streak is the longest in horse racing history.

What do you think? The race is this afternoon. The 5 million Breeders’ Cup Classic is at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Ky. Zenyatta has been tabbed as the 8-5, morning-line favorite from post eight in the 12-horse field.

ESPN / ABC has a spot on the Black Stallion Literacy Foundation!
IF you have time tune in 2:40 – 2:50 est and see it!

Have a great race and good luck Zenyatta!!!!
