Rudy Sanchez-Salomon will keep chasing dreams as owner/coach sends multi-stakes winner Shake You Loosely in search of a third straight win and Triple Crown race stop in the $125,000 Federico Tesio Stakes prize pool on April 16 at Laurel Park.
The pet son of 2013 winner Malibu Stakes (G1) Shakin It Up has won three of his four starts since being claimed $16,000 from his first win last November.
Two of those victories have a contribution–Long-haired seven-haired Heft with 59-1 odds races for the first time for his new relationships in late 2021, and his two-legged debut in the 1 1/16-mile Privacy Clause is set on March 19 vs. Maryland 2-year-old hybrid champion Joe .
“He’s doing really well. I hope he runs like his last races here. I was lucky and lucky, so we’ll see,” Sanchez-Salomon said. “I’m a bit more confident since the last race, but you never know. It’s always another day.”
Shake Em Loose was in for a stretch of Private Terms up front and was able to fend off a rally from Joe to win 1 3/4 of the time. In the previous start, he took a bold move when it was his turn to take the lead and roll 3 3/4 the length in the race for ownership of the one-mile allowable option.
“The last race didn’t take him too much. He got a little tired right after, because he had to dig deep that day, but man, he fought for it. He didn’t want to. defeated,” Sanchez-Salomon said. “When the other horse approached him, he changed course and took off again.”
Charlie Marquez, on board for the last two starts, received a call back from Post 2 in the nine-person field in the heaviest 124-pound class.

Coach Michael Trombetta said: “I don’t think the distance should bother him. “Being a two-turn, and he’s done it a couple of times, that’s going to work in his favor.”
Victor Carrasco, rising each of Joe’s five starts, comes back from Post 4 at 118 pounds.
Trombetta also joins R. Larry Johnson’s Mr. Jefferson another Maryland cross that came from a pair that ended off the board on the wet line at Jerome Stakes January 1 and February 5 Withers Stakes (G3) at Aqueduct race track to start the year.

“He should be fresh and ready to go,” said Trombetta. “Last time he had a little problem…so hopefully with the addition of Lasix and his return to the Laurel track he will do much, much better.”
Jaime Rodriguez is named to go from Post 6 for 118 pounds.
