always got a soft spot for shackleford...he was our derby horse and ran an exhilarating 4th place....and then i watched him in person beat me in the preakness while i was "dialed in".....saw them strut the shack attack literally feet in front of me back to the barns when we were getting our car after the preakness.....the horse was picturesque....the met mile was one of the races of the year HANDS DOWN....nothing but happy for the connections to see them go out on top and a round of applause to a truly class horse and class connections.....where is shackleford off to now? KY? would love to pay him a visit someday
