Shortbread won for the first time in his third career start on Jan. 28, coming from off the pace to capture a $25,660 maiden special weight race by 2 1/2 lengths. The 3-year-old colt by Doneraile Court had finished second in his previous start and was sent off at 1/2 in the 6 1/2-furlong race. The Kentucky-bred colt moved going to the half and drew off late for his first score, earning a check for $14,808.
