Shackleford (horse)

Shackleford (foaled February 25, 2008) is a retired chestnut Thoroughbred race horse who won the 2011 Preakness Stakes. His pedigree traces to major sires of significance, including his grandsire Storm Cat and his damsire Unbridled as well as numerous fourth generation who were champion breeders. The colt was sired by Forestry out of the mare Oatsee, who was purchased in 2006 by Shackleford's owners for $135,000. After giving birth to Shackleford, Oatsee was bred to A.P. Indy and sold, in foal, for $1.55 million.

Shackleford was placed into training with Dale Romans, who raced the colt twice as a 2-year-old. As a 3-year-old, he had three races, including the Florida Derby, where he finished second and qualified for the Kentucky Derby. In the Kentucky Derby he finished fourth, and then, at 13-1 odds, went on to win the Preakness Stakes on May 21, 2011. In doing so, Shackleford became the beneficiary of the largest payoff purse in Preakness history, winning not only the $600,000 winner's purse, but also $550,000 as the XpressBet Bonus winner for a total payout of $1,150,000. He was retired in 2012 after winning the Clark Handicap in November and currently stands at Darby Dan Farm.
