If I have shadowfax, lord of horses and I attack, his ability goes off so I put preeminent captain onto the battlefield tapped and attacking, will his ability go off to allow me to put s soldier into the battlefield odric, master tactician then allowing me to designate blockers??
A creature that you put onto the battlefield through Shadowfax does not attack. (508.4) Preeminent Captain's ability won't trigger even if you put it onto the battlefield attacking.
If Odric is put onto the battlefield attacking, its ability does not trigger, because Odric does not attack.

In addition, when a creature says x happens when it attacks, the creature must be declared an attacker. Creatures put onto the battlefield tapped and attacking skip this necessary action. Though they do attack, they weren't declared an attacker by the player.
Though they do attack, they weren't declared an attacker by the player.
"Though they do attack" is poor wording and likely to cause confusion; it would be better phrased "Though they are attacking."
Horseshoe_Hermit referenced 508.4, which reads in part: 'Such creatures are “attacking” but, for the purposes of trigger events and effects, they never “attacked.”'
