Default Shackleford

All who had winning tickets with Shakleford? If you had the chance after he loaded, would you cashed for a refund? Such a fine line between being cranked and being washed out. I was torn between front runners and Shack was one of them but I picked Flash to hang on. What a mistake. I was confidant that I ruled out Shack after he loaded. How many of you were confident with his appearance during postparade and loading?

I have to admit, that I would have seriously thought about canceling any win tickets that involved him.

I would have cancelled after the way he acted in the paddock, forget the gate.

Couldn't get them cancelled, actually. Tried but my phone was acting up and wouldn't allow the third confirmation window to open so I could. Aw shucks.

What was the temperature at Pimlico, over 80 degrees? I don't find it unusual at all a horse could wash out a bit in the heat. If it was 50 and he was that sweaty, THEN I would be very concerned.

It was warm, in fact, I want to say the local news said it was the hottest day of the year thus far. It was far from obnoxiously hot but I'd say slightly over 80 degrees.

I left him off as I didn't think he'd repeat on two weeks, plus be distance-challenged and have pace contention. When I saw him washy I was positive of it. I was dead wrong Congrats to the connections.
