The 2011 Preakness was a fast race with Shackleford getting out to an early lead and holding on through the final stretch as Kentucky Derby winner Animal Kingdom made a furious late charge. Animal Kingom, the heavy favorite, had some early trouble that jockey John Velazquez was caused by some mud flying into the horses face. Dialed In also started slow and made strong finish to end up fourth.
