Kentucky Derby Horse Profile: Dream Shake Apr 22, 2021 John Mucciolo/TwinSpires.com (Benoit Photography)
Exline-Border Racing, SAF Racing, and Richard Hausman’s Dream Shake earned 30 points on the 2021 Road to the Kentucky Derby challenge series this season. He ranks in 18th place on the leaderboard, and the dark bay boasts a career mark of 3-1-0-2, $162,600.
Trained by Peter Eurton, Dream Shake made his first appearance at Santa Anita on February 7 in a 6 1/2-furlong maiden special weight dash. The 20-1 shot broke slowly but gained momentum nearing the turn for home, and drew off to a visually impressive first-out score. The son of Twirling Candy was given his first graded stakes assignment on March 6 in the San Felipe S. (G2) and checked in third in his first effort around two turns. In his most recent contest, the colt finished a clear third in the Santa Anita Derby (G1) at nine furlongs.
