Title: Sassy Image and Shackleford
Post by: Silver Charm on August 29, 2011, 06:08:19 PM
Filly grabbed a quarter pretty bad and will be rested and ready for BC Filly and Mare Sprint

Tired 3YO colt will be rested and pointed for BC Mile

Silver - is this from Romans himself?  Had not seen the Shack info anywhere else. (he seemed to be saying he was still thinking BCC).  Could you post a link?  And is this, as I can only assume, the Dirt Mile?  Seems an odd choice as it is only one turn.  Also he had talked about SA going in Distaff (since possibly both Havre De G and BL might defect to Classic).  Any word on this? Thx for info.

I don\'t like Shack at 1 mile.   Looks like a tweener to me.  1 1/8 should be his home.  Too bad there\'s not a ton of rich races at that distance.

A two-turn mile no, but I think he is perfect for the one turn courses like Churchill and it helps CD is his home track. They will have to run down a fresh Shack for the crown!!
