I've seen plenty of people mention it on Twitter and in conversation, but the race riding (lack of) in the Clark was pretty amazing.
Shackleford, a CD homer who is a proven G1 winning pacesetter going a route of ground, was allowed to post fractions 24.31, 48.65 and 1:12.49 in a G1, $400k race at a track that has been very kind to speed this meet.
I thought Bourbon Courage ran well given the circumstances.
