Blame Wins Schaefer Return

Racing for the first time since wining the Clark Handicap last November, Blame scored a solid victory in the $100,000, Grade III William Donald Schaeffer Handicap on Saturday on the Preakness undercard.

Blame, who is trained by New Orleans native Al Stall Jr., settled along the inside under jockey Garrett Gomez much of the way, found running room between horses in the stretch and kicked clear. No Advantage finished 1 ½ lengths back in second in a field of seven older horses.
