Yeah, this is awful. I'm well aware. It's awful because my WMM on my mom's computer broke. Which basically = no more videos for right now. It's something to do with actually playing video clips that I have to sit down and figure out. I had a whole Shackleford tribute planned out, using video clips, but then WMM and I had to make this on MY computer, which has an even older version of WMM so less effects and I can't download videos on THIS computer because of a flash problem so.. yeah. :| Anywayy, da SHACK ATTACK! :DI lovee this horse! I don't care what you say, no horse in this year's crop of three-year-olds has as much heart. I've got a thing with speed horses. I love em'. And Shack is just so beautiful.. and brave.. I looovvee him. Second only to Jaycito (: I think he actually has a very good shot of winning the Belmont if he can relax. Because he'll dig down in the stretch, no matter what the distance.

WYPR Down the Stretch -- The Preakness [03:41]
With another Preakness upon us, thoroughbred horseracing takes center stage at Pimlico and across the state. But after the race is over, Maryland's horseracing industry faces long odds and questions about its future. Horse owners find it increasingly hard to make a living in Maryland, with more racing dates and greater purses being offered in neighboring states. Breeders are turning more and more to diversification to make ends meet. And bettors make their wages in parlors for simulcasts from other venues. Could racing disappear in the future? WYPR takes a look at the state of horseracing with a five-part radio series, "Down The Stretch: The Future of Maryland's Horseracing Future," starting Monday during "Morning Edition" on 88-1, WYPR -- your NPR news station. In day five of the week-long series, WYPR reporter Karen Hosler examines the state of the industry. Video produced by Jerry Bembry.
