2006 Toyota Blue Grass Weekend at Keeneland

Turf sprinters competed in the $100,000 Shakertown Stakes (G3) at 5 1/2 furlongs. 8-1 shot Atticus Kristy closed from seventh early on to wear down Around the Cape late in the stretch to prevail by a neck in 1:01.83, just a tenth of a second off the course record. 5-2 favorite Soaring Free failed to fire and finished sixth. Winning jockey Garrett Gomez said, "Yeah, I had a pretty good trip all the way except when we first started the in turn I got shuffled a little bit. I uncovered him when we turned for home and he did what he was supposed to do and what I was expecting him to do." Scherer said he would start next at Churchill Downs, possibly in the Aegon Turf Sprint.
