can he still run ? i bet him about 5 months ago at laurel he was 3-1 i put $50 on him he set the pace opened up i thought he was going to win then died finished 3rd i think

I wish I had the money.

This horse deserves a better life than what Cole
is doing to him. You would think Cole will get it
through his mind that Shake You Down has given
a lot to him and that he earnings has paid for a lot
of his other horses. Mr. Cole think about and do the
right thing for him. If he doesn't hopefully somebody
will step up and give this horse a better life

Care to share with me what you think a better life for him would be? And, please be sure to include the basis for your judgement other than the fact that he is 9 yrs old.

Thx

A better life:

This from a Bloodhorse Article

He has a quote about Shake You Down

He says "All I know is that he will always have home when he is done racing, that I can asuure you. I already have a home picked out for him at Tim Salzman farm in Carrol County. We're not going to run him any cheaper than $14,000, and obviously, we're not going to send him out there if we feel he can't win or if we feel his health is compromised. But we don't feel that way now"

They why would he say this bullshit. He made this statement and
not following it. I think doesn't care if this horse breaks down.
Some of us on DT think this should deserve much better. Shake You
Down should spend his days in a paddock being a horse

I agree with you. A horse that's won more than 1.5 million on the track deserves more than being run in cheap claimers. If he's going to say the above, he needs to back up what's he saying.

is this online? have a link?

or if in the print edition, do you have issue / page # ?

thanks (not being confrontational, just want to read the article) :cool:

Shake You Down can go off to be retrained for another discipline other than racing. He is only 9 years old. Let him go be a little girl's dream come true.

It is in one of the Breeder Regions sections, I'd say 4 or 5 issues back.

I don't think that article ever made it online...it was in an issue about a month ago (I'm sure saucon has the exact date).

Jamie and Bethani,

Looks like Cole got some common sense he scratched out, now
we hope he is done racing and we don't see him in the entries again.
Like I said before, I wonder if Cole does this to just get an uproar and
people mad and he always scratches him

I can't find him listed. I have him in my Equibase Virtual stable and never received a notice.

Is it possible he was entered, then scratched? Is the ban still on for horses from PA & MD?

sniped! (above)

I'm glad to see that, Mike... he's too nice of a horse to be placed in those kinds of situations. I'd feel the same way if they started throwing Funny Cide or Perfect Drift in cheap claimers. Thanks for posting the update. :)
