Preakness 129

Sir Barton Stakes Winner Royal Assault
Sir Barton Stakes: Trainer Nick Zito received a little
consolation after his three year old colt, Royal Assault, won the Sir
Barton Stakes on the Preakness undercard. Zito had once planned on running
the colt in the Preakness, but instead replaced him with Sir Shackelton
and The Cliff's Edge. The former finished sixth in the Preakness and the
latter scratched on Friday due to injury.
Dashboard Drummer was second, Humourously was third. Favorite Preachinatthebar
finished fifth.

Winner Artie Schiller
Woodlawn Stakes: The $100,000 Woodlawn Stakes went to
the three year old Artie Schiller, a son of El Prado out of grade 1 winner
Hidden Light. The handsome bay colt stalked the pace before making a move
and drawing clear to win by 3 3/4 lengths. He is trained by James Jerkins
and owned by Mrs. Thomas J. Walsh & Timber Bay Farm. Lipan was second,
Timo was third as the favorite, and El Prado Rob was fourth.
Artie Schiller paid $7.40, $4.40, and $2.80.
Also: The Preakness Day crowd of 112,668 was an all-time
record attendance on Preakness Day at Pimlico.
