It's always interesting to see how horses do their next start after any Breeders Cup race. Usually they seem to regress because of being pointed for the one specific BC race. Conversely, if a horse runs terrible in the BC then they seem to run better the next start after. Generalizing I'm sure but it's a fun stat to follow. With that being said..............I'm a little interested in Pool Play here. He just has to be better than his BC performance and has shown a little affinity for CD. Fun betting race for sure....................

Gutty performance from Shack. I'm glad he got to go out on top.

Shackleford throws in a huge clunker everytime he gets caught behind horses.
Even his very good half sister Afleeting Lady has had an excellent year other than the two times she got caught behind horses, and both times she bombed in non-efforts. Maybe it's because he's temperamental or maybe he's just an animal.

I've seen plenty of people mention it on Twitter and in conversation, but the race riding (lack of) in the Clark was pretty amazing.
Shackleford, a CD homer who is a proven G1 winning pacesetter going a route of ground, was allowed to post fractions 24.31, 48.65 and 1:12.49 in a G1, $400k race at a track that has been very kind to speed this meet. I thought Bourbon Courage ran well given the circumstances.
