From Friday's DRF:
Shakespeare has yet to post a workout since winning the Sept. 16 Woodbine Mile, but trainer Kiaran McLaughlin said nothing was amiss. "He has issues, and we don't work him very often," McLaughlin said. "We're pointing toward the first of the week for his work, and we'll see how fast he goes before we decide if he needs to breeze again."
Several hours after reading this, his retirement is announced.
