Shake You Down

[slotdirt]

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.

In the lastest Bloodhorse magezine there is a big article
about Robert L. Cole Jr.

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"

Lake needs to get kicked in the balls and Cole needs to not only get kicked in the balls but also his teeth knocked out.

Hopefully people shut up and just claim the horse and retire him to Kentucky Horse Park, so it pisses Cole off.

And when Cole tries to buy him back, you make him sign a contract saying that this horse will not run in thoroghbred racing again.......

I'm just wondering if this a ploy to just rattle racing fans and to
bring attention to themselves (Lake and Cole). Then they
would eventually just scratch him out of the race.

I doubt he runs, and if he runs, he will get claimed and retired, at least I hope

No need for any contract, you just sell him back without papers. Then he cannot race.

yeah but then he'll end up like all of michael Gill's former horses...on a double decker truck.

Duplicate copies of a horses papers can be obtained/ purchased from the Jockey Club.

If you don't want the horse to race again, you don't sell it. Otherwise, it's the buyer's perogative.....

Should anybody want to hear how affected Mr Byk is by Coles decision to enter SYD at CT on Thursday in the 4 th race a $7500 claimer just listen to the last 2 minutes of ATRAB yesterday.

On ATRAB Monday besides bringing the entry of Shake You Down in Thursdays CT 4TH to light, Steve also reminded us of how self promoting Cole was last year about being passed over for an owners ECLIPSE nomination when he was a guest on ATRAB.

Byk's remarks about Cole's insane greedy plans for Shake You Down this Thursday night, highlighted the motivation of an ungrateful egocentric owner squeezing the last subpar performance possible from a loyal employee who has served master well and is more than deserving of a life without Scott Lake assistants treating him like another drone after a lengthy career that allows Cole and Lake to live like kings!!!!

Perhaps in farewell it would be more appropriate for Shake You Down to "moon" his present owner Thursday night in his final public appearance at Charles Town Racetrack. It's safe to say that a good look at the horses backside is about as close to an ECLIPSE award that Mr Cole will ever come.

Well done Byk.......if you need an increase in your blood pressure meds after that show just drop me a line.

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

I don't mean to sound like a jerk, but shouldn't Cole be sponsoring SYD for putting him in the limelight? 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.
