  • cleclair1994 · the way i saw it it was exactly the same race as the derby just a 1/16 shorter. shackleford takes the lead on on back stretch opens up at the top of the lane and animal kingdom runs at him. the only difference between the derby and the preakness was a 1/16. that is the difference between a triple crown possibility and shackleford being over bet the rest of the year. even dialed in ran the exact same race. he just had less horses to suck along by to end up finishing 4 and not 8. animal kingdom is the real horse. he obviously loves 1 1/4. that is the championship distance. not 1 3/16. · 373 days ago ·
