Shackleford held off a late-charging Animal Kingdom in the stretch to win the $1.5 million Preakness Stakes (gr. I) by a half-length. The son of Forestry is a homebred for Mike Lauffer and William Cubbedge. He is trained by Dale Romans and was ridden by Jesus Castanon. As anticipated, the pace was much faster than in the Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (gr. I), where Shackleford led the field at Churchill Downs through early fractions of :23.74, :48.63, and 1:13.40. Shackleford wound up finishing a respectable fourth behind Animal Kingdom , Nehro, and Mucho Macho Man. http://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-racing/articles/63156/shackleford-tames-animal-kingdom-in-preakness#ixzz31yxwvRbP

Reigning Horse of the Year Wise Dan saw his nine-race win streak come to an end Oct. 5 at Keeneland when Silver Max delivered a front-running score in the $750,000 Shadwell Turf Mile Stakes (gr. II), which was moved to the main track and contested at 1 1/16 miles. Morton Fink's homebred Wise Dan, favored at 1-2, raced in third in the far turn for Hall of Fame jockey John Velazquez as Silver Max led from soon after the start. Turning for home Wise Dan launched his move, but in the stretch Silver Max proved to have something in reserve under jockey Robby Albarado as he added to his advantage, opening up 2 1/2 lengths in midstretch. "At the three-eighths pole, I thought I was going to be in control, that (running down Silver Max) was going to be easy, but when I went after him, (Silver Max) started running again," Velazquez said. That nine-race win streak included a 2 1/4-length score in last year's Shadwell Turf Mile, Wise Dan's final start before winning the Breeders' Cup Mile (gr. I) in track record time at Santa Anita Park. http://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-racing/articles/81122/silver-max-snaps-wise-dans-9-race-win-streak#ixzz2gx4ZQiFe
