Yeah, it was posted. I'm so glad that he finally gets to rest. It was pretty evident that the horse was done with racing. I hope he has a good time just being a horse. :)

Well this should be an easy transition for him. :D

Suddenly, the assbag Cole scratches him and runs him back for $15k instead. He finished 3rd. My partner wasn't about to spend $15k to retire the horse, especially since Cole would have gotten the money. This horse deserves better, but more importantly, Cole should be embarassed.

cole and lake are jerks:mad:

Way to go Saucon. I'll follow your lead and pledge 1/2 my Derby winnings (if there is any :o )

I don't mean to sound like a jerk, but shouldn't Cole be sponsoring SYD for putting him in the limelight? :confused: I fully believe in sponsoring horses, but he milked every start out of him that he could and now they have to ask for help from other people?

Once one of the top sprinters in the country, Shake You Down finished third in the 2003 Breeders' Cup Sprint and won six stakes races, including the Smile Sprint Handicap and the True North. With age and with the typical aches and pains that often come from a long career, he started to slow down and was racing in $14,000 claimers in early 2007 at Laurel. To their credit, owner Robert Cole and trainer Scott Lake did not want to take any risks with a horse who had been so good to them, so they retired Shake You Down when he was still sound and healthy and donated him to the TRF. A grand-looking chestnut, he exudes class, says TRF farm manager John Evans.
This was from his page...

I'm just happy he is there and there is no way Lake/Cole
can break him down now.

I really think it is wonderful that you gave of your own money for SYD...I just wish they would have after all SYD gave to them, but like you said, more importantly he can live happily in green pastures.
