Samantha gave Animal Kingdom all of the EN Karma she could, but it wasn’t enough and the Kentucky Derby winner finished a half-length back of Shackleford and jockey Jesus Castanon. Shackelford left the gate as a 12-1 odds and Animal Kingdom was the 2-1 favorite. Shackleford’s time was 1:56.47, the slowest winning time since 1993. There hasn’t been a Triple Crown winner in my lifetime, none since Affirmed in 1978 in fact.
