Run during the latter part of May during Preakness week. The race was named in honor of Shine Again, a fourth generation homebred in Allaire duPont's stable. She was brilliant over three seasons of competition in which she was named Maryland-bred horse of the Year in 2003, Maryland-bred champion older mare in three consecutive years while earning state-bred champion sprinter title in two of those years. She retired after the 2003 season as the ninth leading Maryland-bred money earner of all time, with $1,271,840. From 34 career starts, she won 14 races (eight stakes), was second 10 times (eight stakes) and third in seven others (five stakes).[1]

Shine Again was a daughter of Wild Again out of the Two Punch mare Shiner. Shine Again was under the guidance of Hall of Fame trainer Allen Jerkins, she won four stakes races that season including the grade one Ballerina Handicap at Saratoga Race Course plus the grade two First Flight Handicap and placed in four other graded stakes races. The very next year she returned to defend her titles in the Ballerina and the First Flight and won both, she also had five graded stakes placings including the grade one Ruffian Handicap. She just missed the three-peat in the Ballerina at age six, finishing second by a neck. In that year she won the grade two Genuine Risk Handicap while placing in five other additional graded stakes races.

gollark: Why not run it on... your actual computer? Is there some sort of importable Pyth implementation?
gollark: I think the main issue is just in creating a process; that is *slooooow*.
gollark: I doubt pypy could help unless you run the interpreter with it.
gollark: Most of the latency will just be in making a new process and doing IO.
