Although Caleb's Posse dusted everyone down the stretch, I think this run bodes very well for Shackleford headed into next season. He has had an incredibly long, taxing campaign this season. The turn back to the distances that he prefers (8f, 8.5f, 9f, IMO) should benefit him immensely. Some maturation and freshening over the winter will do him well, and I anticipate him being very formidable in races like the Met Mile, Stephen Foster, Whitney and Woodward in 2012.
Good work Shackleford, always love watching him run, no matter what :)

Ur right.. note how Shackleford led and then fought back Amazombie (in one of the graded undercard races on Kentucky Derby 2012 day)

SHACKLEFORD FROZE AT THE END
I'll have to google Public Handicapper..I recently discovered Paceadvantage which is a forum
Don´t think shack forze... look at the gallop out, he still has fuel left. He didn´t see caleb´s posse coming from the far outside...
