Shackleford: Preakness 2011 Winner!

The Preakness was on yesterday (5-21-2011) as the world was supposedly coming to an end. Shackleford was the name of the horse that won, and winning any of these horse races is a big deal (at least until the next horse race), so I thought we should include some pictures of Shackleford!


Here is Shackleford, desperately trying to stay ahead of Kentucky Derby winner, Animal Kingdom. Shackleford ended Animal Kingdom's shot at the Triple Crown, beating him by only a half-length!

A promotional shot of a happy Shackleford, waiting for his race.

Poor sweaty Shackleford holds on to win the 2011 Preakness, and ends Animal Kingdom's Triple Crown dream!
