If the plan was to stay close to Shackelford, I would agree he didn't do much wrong. I can't believe that would have been the best plan to get them into the winners circle, but it's certainly possible it was.
I agree about the Belmont and don't really think too highly of him. I just think others have some question marks and will be interested in him if he drifts up. If he is anywhere near his ML I'll be watching and rooting for Arthur's Tale who I liked going into the Derby before he got hurt.
