Stallwalkin' Dude

Former claimer Stallwalkin' Dude didn't venture into his first graded stakes until June 2015 as a 5-year-old and turned in a good effort, finishing second in the Grade 2 True North Stakes. He later finished third in both the Grade 3 Belmont Sprint Championship and Grade 1 Vosburgh Stakes to set him up for a run at the Breeders' Cup Sprint. He has wins in the Diablo Stakes and Tale of the Cat Stakes this year.

In 2016 Stallwalkin' Dude finished third in the Tom Fool Handicap before later winning the Tale of the Cat Stakes at Saratoga. He also finished third in the $700,000 Forego Stakes in August and second in the $350,000 Vosburgh Stakes in October before finding his way back to the winner's circle in the Bold Ruler Handicap later that month. He ended his year with a win in the Gravesend Stakes.

Stallwalkin' Dude finished in the top three in his first two 2017 starts and then shippped to Dubai where he competed in the Grade 1 Golden Shaheen. He finished sixth of 14 in that race behind fellow American Mind Your Biscuits.

Upon returning to the U.S., Stallwalkin’ Dude continued to run well, winning two of his next six starts – both listed stakes – and finishing second in the Grade 2 True North Stakes and third in the Grade 1 Vosburgh Stakes. He then finished second by three-quarters of a length in the Grade 3 Bold Ruler Handicap before posting a dominant victory in the Grade 3 Fall Highweight Handicap on Thanksgiving.

Stallwalkin' Dude is a Florida-bred son of City Place, out of the Dare and Go mare Chelle Spendabuck.
