its kinda sad

Danzig · #3 02-12-2007, 05:43 PM

shame we don't have money left over, we could buy this guy and retire him.

I wish someone would. Him and poor old Peeping Tom.

slotdirt · #5 02-12-2007, 06:15 PM

Check that - they finally did retire Peeping Tom!

I don't know though, if the horse is sound, why not run him?

Gander · #6 02-12-2007, 06:56 PM

Chuck town. A long way from Shake's glory days at Belmont, eh?
Man this horse was always so reliable singling on the front end of doubles and in the middle of pick 3's. I miss him being real racetracks and competing at high levels. I hope he doesnt hurt himself.

Buy him and old Spooky Mulder and give them a fitting retirement

Spooky Mulder can definitly still run, i cashed on him multiple times last year, on bets ranging from win place, exactas, singled in pick 4's and 6's, i think this old guy has at least another year in him

I agree with this...Spooky is still in the game...SYD...well, he just isn't.

What I want to know is why this trainer has no balls to tell this jerkoff Cole that he is being an idiot

Gander · #11 02-12-2007, 07:05 PM

Kind of the same reason you dont tell your boss hes an idiot

I am not sure who the trainer even is, but he would get MORE horses for doing it, then looking like a schmuck by running him. I mean CHARLES TOWN....Next he will be running at the Hippodrome

Kasept · #13 02-12-2007, 07:09 PM

The trainer is Scott Lake.

Even more hatred now because he couldn't win the god damn 5th or 6th at Gulfstream on Saturday(5f turf race) for my pick three. Lake telling this guy to not run loses him ZERO business. ZERO. If anything, telling him that he will not take anymore of this owners horses will gain him business and good publicity, a good move for a guy who consistently has TEN POINT MOVE UPS (new user name that I absolutely LOVE)

Gander · #15 02-12-2007, 07:14 PM

Lake? Then that begs the question (much to Scav's point), doesnt Lake have any feelings for Shake You Down based on past successes? I mean if I were Lake, I would have trouble sleeping at night knowing I am putting this horse in harm's way for a measly $7,500.

back to his proper level prior to all the needles...is this a surprise?

Linny · #17 02-13-2007, 06:25 PM

The JC has no designation in their database for nonracing, papered TB's. papers make him eleigible. If someone marks them before selling a horse and that horse fall into the "wrong hands" down the line the "wrong" person needs only to request new papers of the JC and presto! instant RACEhorse.

I just don't get all the criticism. If all the people nastily criticizing Cole/Lake are so upset by them racing their horse, then go to CT with the money and go claim him. Then you can do with him as you wish. Otherwise, stop whining.

Does he need that purse money? Please. Guy is a douche.

AMEN

Totally agree with you

Danzig · #20 02-14-2007, 07:46 AM

got my newest bloodhorse, and guess who they had an article about? cole. and shake you down is mentioned in there, as is a 'national radio show' that gave him a hard time. hmm, wonder who that could be?

i wish i could put my money where my mouth is, and claim the horse-guess i'll just have to whine about it as someone said above. but then, many of the threads on here could be construed by some as 'whining'. but then, vampires suck the life blood wherever they can...
