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)

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.

If I had the $$, I'd claim him myself.

Well done, Kasept. I take particular note because I like Charles Town, but I hate seeing gamers like Shake You Down running 4.5f claimers at CT.

One of my partners tried to claim him at Laurel when he was going in for $5k. He was going to just put the money up then retire the horse. He had our trainer call and ask about just selling him since he was gonna take him anyway. The jocks agent told the trainer that it wasn't the first call he had gotten like this. 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.

Completely agree, but I'm not sure he gets it.

What an ass clown. Seriously. This horse has meant so much to his owner, and Lake (before Lava Man, perhaps the greatest claim of all time), and they're doing their best to ruin his legacy or even worse, have him break down. Just retire the poor guy to the Horse Park.

I love SYD.
