Shark Gesture retired from racing

Shark Gesture, the 2006 Breeders Crown 3-year-old pacing colt champion, has been retired from racing and will stand at stud in 2008 at Kentuckiana Farms of Ontario.
 
Shark Gesture is a son of Cam's Card Shark out of Simple Gesture (by Western Hanover). Kentuckiana Farms will serve as syndicate manager and along with Emerald Ridge Farm will manage his breeding career.
 
Shark Gesture recently suffered a career-ending injury that forced his early retirement with career earnings of $1,003,189 and a lifetime mark of 1:49.1 at three.
 
At age 2 Shark Gesture took a record of 1:51.3 while winning the Bluegrass Stakes in Lexington. He also captured an elimination of the Breeders Crown 2-Year-Old Colt Pace. At age 3 he won the Breeders Crown championship the week after going down in the elimination race for the Crown.
 
“Shark Gesture showed the guts of a true champion winning the Breeders Crown after such a tragic accident the week before,” said trainer Erv Miller.
 
Shark Gesture is owned by Norman Smiley, Gerald Smiley and the TLP Stable.
 
Shark Gesture's 2008 service fee will be $5,000(C). Plans are also being made for him to begin his breeding career in Australia for the upcoming 2007-08 Southern Hemisphere breeding season.
