Physicality Handicapping? - Tell Shackleford - Shackleford is the poster child for the Non Believers of the merit of Physicality Handicapping. He was completely washed out, mental and jittery before the race. He looked horrible and seemed like he was going to leave his race behind the gate. A damn good example for those who do not give merit to Physicality Handicapping. Shackleford didn't know he left his race in the paddock and post and sweated off 20 pounds. Somebody forgot to tell him.
