ETOBICOKE, Ontario — Paso Doble held off a pesky Dancingall Theway to take the $125,000 New Providence Stakes at Woodbine on Sunday.

The annual race meet at Yavapai Downs in Prescott Valley, Ariz., set to open Saturday, is in serious jeopardy of not happening at all.

Kentucky Derby winner Animal Kingdom came out of his second-place finish in Saturday's Preakness at Pimlico tired, but otherwise in good shape and will be under strong consideration to run back in the Belmont Stakes on June 11, trainer Graham Motion said Sunday.

Animal Kingdom, under John Velazquez, rallied from 13th position in the 14-horse field to finish within one-half length of Shackleford at the finish of the Preakness, thus ending his chances at a Triple Crown opportunity in the Belmont.

The severe cutback from a series of seven-furlong and 1 1/8-mile races to 4 1/2 furlongs proved no problem for the classy Russell Road, who made up a four-length deficit in deep stretch to win Saturday night’s $51,500 It’s Only Money Stakes for West Virginia-breds at Charles Town.

Turf star Paddy O'Prado, who won the Dixie Stakes on Saturday at Pimlico in his first start of the year, came out of the race with a bruised right front foot, but does not appear to have anything worse than that, trainer Dale Romans said Sunday morning.

BALTIMORE – Shackleford, who won the 136th Preakness Stakes on Saturday, came out of the race well, and his chances of running in the Belmont Stakes on June 11 are “better than 50-50,” his trainer, Dale Romans, said Sunday morning here at Pimlico.

PREAKNESS REPLAY AND CHART »

VANCOUVER, British Columbia – Heavily favored Classic Alley Kat set an honest pace on her way to winning her second straight sprint stakes in the $50,000 Senate Appointee for fillies and mares at Hastings Saturday.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. – Saturday was a tough day for even-money favorites in graded stakes at Hollywood Park.

St Trinians crossed the wire first in the Grade 2 Milady Handicap, but was disqualified for interference and placed fourth. Second-place finisher Ultra Blend ($18) inherited the win in the 1 1/16-mile race for fillies and mares.

BALTIMORE - The connections of Dialed In missed out on a huge payday as their colt’s late run fell 4 1/4 lengths short in Saturday’s Preakness Stakes at Pimlico.

BALTIMORE – It was only a few minutes after Triple Crown hopes had evaporated, barely, for the 33rd straight year, and Graham Motion was leaning on the rail leading up to the jockeys’ room at Pimlico Race Course, an otherwise indistinct spot he knows all so well from two decades of running horses on the Maryland circuit.

Disappointment, fresh, was “a bitter pill,” said Motion, who had just watched Animal Kingdom, the Kentucky Derby winner he trains for Team Valor International, come within a half-length of running down Shackleford in a dramatic 136th running of the Preakness.
