Shackelford was a long shot and not expected to win the race as he was in the 5th slot looking more like a laggard than a winner but Cooper's talk with the Jockeys told him to think otherwise of Shackelford and to advise all of his clients to take the longshot.
Now we have to wait till next year to see a Triple Crown winner with "Animal Kingdom" chances spoiled.
Jockey Jesus Castanon finished a half-length in front dcovering 1 3-16 miles at a time of 1:56.47.
This was the 1st time Jesus has won a triple crown race and trainer Dale Romans from Louisville, Kentucky was delighted as Shackelford just missed showing coming in 4th place at the Derby a few weeks ago.
