Whataworkout displayed talent during his limited racing career, which saw him notch victories in his Valley Victory elimination and the Kindergarten Classic as a two-year-old. He only made two starts at three, which included a 1:54.3 victory at The Meadowlands.
At four, he earned his life mark of 1:52.4 at The Meadowlands after finishing second by a neck in a leg of the Graduate series at Tioga. His career was brought to a premature end due to a racing injury.
