What the Nation is saying about Shakin It Up...

Govenor Charlie's stellar performance in the Grade III Sunland Derby was an exclamation point for owner Mike Pegram and trainer Bob Baffert who also dominated the $200,000 Sunland Parks Oaks with the exquisite filly Midnight Lucky.Read More
  • AndyScoggin · It was interesting that after the race Pegram said Midnight Lucky was going to the Oaks, but he was noncommittal about Govenor Charlie and the Derby. · 58 days ago ·

Imagine if you will, owning a three-year-old and entering him in an allowance race. Then imagine that someone tells you that the allowance race is worth $800,000, and if you win it, you are in the Kentucky Derby. Sounds like a good deal for you as the owner of the young colt … but what about for eve...Read More

  • marylandgq · This question should be asked to the trainers and owners of the so-called Derby contenders who elected not to go in here. Maybe they believe the 6 weeks til KY Derby Day doesn't fit their horse? People (i.e. fans which include the 25k+ HRN members) need to realize plans are put in place for their 3 y.o. WEEKS if not MONTHS in advance. They don't wake-up one day and notice 7 days out that the Sunland Derby came up weak, so let's enter. · 60 days ago ·

While the winner has proven to be a very good runner at the distance, it might well be the runner-up, Treasury Bill, who becomes more of a threat on the Kentucky Derby trail.Read More

  • marylandgq · Everyone assumes Shakin It Up will be a good SPRINTER (maybe middle distance) solely based on how his Dad (Midnight Lute) earned a living on the track. I'm telling you, he can get the Derby distance and Pegram/Baffert will keep him on the Derby Trail. He's special. That's why I made him my #3 Derby contender (over a week ago)... the only person on the planet to do so. (I'll try not to break my arm padding myself on the back, LOL) · 93 days ago ·

Decent win. I lost bad on Belvin :(..... Nice win, however, I think he is NOT a derby horse, but he has the looks of a good, competitive shorter distance horse.

  • rafirox · Yea. Wide open contest. Belvin did show some heart, but he just wasn't good enough. Shakin It Up was my posst parade pick, but I didn't bet anything on him, whicch I regret. Beautiful horse, nice win. But, I say with al due respect, I don't see him being a factor down the trail. However, he has nice potential. · 94 days ago ·
