Reply With QuoteGee Triple has been talking about this horse for 3 or more wks we might have to get him doing the news and updates.
The former the Breeders Crown, Dan Patch, William Haughton Memorial and Canadian Pacing Derby winner - Shark Gesture - has left his first winner. The now 8-year-old son of Cams Card Shark became a winning stallion for the first time when his daughter Gesturestar won at the Penrith harness racing meeting in Australia last Thursday (June 2).

For me, there are two races that really typify Shark Gesture.
One was towards the start of his career and the other towards the end of it.
They are the 3yo Breeders Crown Final in Canada, because he fell so horribly after the line in the Heat but dusted himself off to then so courageously win it all the following next week....and then some years later it was the 2010 Graduate Final at The Meadowlands where it looked like both Lis Again & Won The West had him cold, they had clear air and dead aim at him down the Big M stretch but he dug in and point blank refused to let them past.
I defy anyone to watch those races & not be impressed. So...c'mon Mr. Smiley, please make the deal with someone, send him on down here again.
There is no denying Shark Gesture was a good horse BUT he would never beat Art Official in a lead in class
Hi Eliteblood
I look forward to the reply from Triple on your comment as Triple is a Art Official fan lmao.
Do know another that will be winning within a month.
Well don't be shy feel free to share.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder my friend and besides, if you were to watch the replay of the 2009 Canadian Pacing Derby where the two went head to head you'd see AO badly gap soft pocket trip cover around the 3/4's & then drop out in the stretch to finish tailed off. In terms of visual appeal, that's not exactly a sight that ranks right up there with a viewing of the Heavenly Choir assembled...is it?Originally Posted by eliteblood
A short while ago Best Ears (br,c,2 - Shark Gesture-Extreme Dream-Jate Lobell) left from pp4 & scored in a 20k 2yo race at Mohawk. He was home by 4 in a sharp 1:52.3. S. Zeron for Jimmy Takter.
The mare has proven her ability to produce a race horse prior to being breed to Shark Bait.
It is to early to be getting aboard his ship.IMO
