What the Nation is saying about Shackleford...

Bottom line is, Derby Day just wasn’t their day. For a not-insignificant number of Preakness winners, the disappointment of their efforts two weeks beforehand in the Kentucky Derby sometimes has been difficult to rationalize. Some, such as Snow Chief (1986), Point Given (2001), and Lookin At Lucky (...Read More

  • terri.zeitz · I'm so glad he's running as a sprinter and he is back as a winner. There is just something about him--he's beautiful like his great-grandam Terlingua and great-great grandsire Secretariat. He surely has the determination of Terlingua. Congrats to the Romans team. · 7 days ago ·

  • johnsnare · What a true racehorse, Shackelford. All heart, guts, stamina, and the burning desire,to win. It is obvious, The secretariat blood flows through Shacks veins. Have loved this horse since his debut. We could learn a lesson from Shack. Never give up. Good for you Mr.Romans, and his connections, for keeping this magnificent horse running. · 6 days ago ·

I have always liked Shackleford. I am glad he had such a great outcome at Churchill Downs on Saturday. He is a real game horse!
I love this horse. His goofy running style, white blaze, and pure, determined heart make me smile every time i watch him race. Great job buddy!

  • 4everZenyatta · Same, Paladin. I knew he wouldn't win the Derby, and once he ran the way he did in the Preakness, I knew he wouldn't do well in the Belmont. Hopefully Mr. Romans will keep him will keep him here. · 10 days ago ·

Congrats to I'll Have Another and Bodemeister, but this is one instance where I think the marquis event was overshadowed by a fantastic undercard performance. The stretch battle of Shack and Amazombie is what is going to really stamp this derby day in my head. I'm so excited to see him in the winners circle

YAY TO THE IRON HORSE SHACKLEFORD!!!
Good job, Shack! You showed that grit and determination that we all love you for. That was a heck of a race.
Finally back in the winner's circle!!
Shackleford continued his preparations for the $400,000-added Churchill Downs (GII) on Kentucky Derby Day with a four furlong bullet work Saturday in :48 for trainer Dale Romans. Working after the renovation break when the track was rated as “muddy,” Shackleford recorded fractions of :12, :24 and :35.80 and galloped out five furlongs in 1:02.
At least he's doing a little better.
Wondering why there was so much blood in Shack's mouth during/after the Carter...don't remember seeing that before with him
