![]() 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 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.

![]() So isn't there a good chance it will be warmer on June 11th at Elmont? At least we all know that he is inclined to do it now. Personally, I like Nehro's chances.

![]() As I work to perfect my handicapping skills, I have always thought that I was missing something by not watching the post parade. I have trouble knowing which horses "look ready" and which do not. Shiny coat. Ears pricked. Heck, I don't know.
Then on Saturday, I thought I finally spotted something. Shackleford. Looked anxious, sweating profusely. All signs of not being ready. Maybe I finally had this "visual" handicapping skill figured out. Surely, he was ready to crash. ...Guess not... I'll move forward focusing my handicapping energies somewhere else. |
