His sire was declared a Leading Sire in the year 1942 following his brilliance in the Triple Crown season that year with two victories, Kentucky Derby and the Belmont Stakes. Despite a belligerent quest put forward by the seasonal contender, Alsab, the proud progeny from Equipoise, Shut Out managed to carve a niche for himself as a respectable thoroughbred.

Foaled in 1939, facing his first racing season in 1941, Shut Out was forced to share the attention with his stable mate, Devil Diver who invariably returned to the stable better recognitions and achievements. Later as a three year old, Shut Out was confronted by Alsab in all of his undertakings, essentially never were his seasons at any lack of deserving competition.

It’s unfortunate how Shut Out could never progress to a stage where his efforts could be weighed against and more than his competitors, yet he survived the contention.

As a two year old, Shut Out faced an annihilating competition from Devil Diver during the Hopeful handicap which the latter won. However Shut Out reclaimed his place with a win in the Grand Union Hotel Stakes where Devil Diver finished third.

The sophomore campaign for Shut Out re-launched him on the racing scene with a bang. He won the Classic Stakes, following into the Triple Crown preps. Despite his winning the Kentucky Derby from Alsab and the Belmont Stakes, Shut Out couldn’t establish himself as a strong contender for the Horse of the Year award. Alsab won the Champion Three Year old award along with the previous year’s win.

So, despite the Travers Stakes, the Laurel Handicap and the Triple Crown races, horse can lose to other fine performing thoroughbreds who challenge most genuinely. Shut Out and Alsab’s rivalry is as famous in the books of thoroughbred racing history as is Secretariat and Sham’s or any other rivalry you’ve heard of.
