Shackleford was trained by Dale Romans, who raced the colt twice as a 2-year-old with one win. As a 3-year-old, he prepared for the Kentucky Derby with a second place finish in the Florida Derby. He came fourth in the 2011 Kentucky Derby and then won the Preakness Stakes with odds of 13-1. 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. Late in the year, he finished second in the Haskell Invitational and Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile. As a four-year-old he won the Metropolitan Handicap in June and the Clark Handicap in November and then was retired. In 2020, he was exported to stud in South Korea.
