Trot Insider has learned that millionaire pacer Giddy Up Lucky has passed away

.

A six-year-old Camluck gelding co-owned by Baron Racing and VIP Internet Stables and trained by Josh Green, Giddy Up Lucky started his career in Ontario under the care of trainer Jean Louis Arsenault. He was raised by Highland Thoroughbred Farm of Inglewood, Ont. and sold at the 2006 Forest City Yearling Sale for $46,000.

Lightly raced at two, Giddy Up Lucky developed into a solid pacer at three racing against some of harness racing's top sophomores in the 2008 Little Brown Jug.

As an aged performer, Giddy Up Lucky blossomed. He knocked heads with the top older pacers in North America at Yonkers and Dover over the past three years. Each year, Giddy Up Lucky made more money than the year before with his best seasonal total coming in 2011 thanks in large part to a win in the 2011 Dan Patch at Hoosier Park and a second-place finish in the Levy Final at Yonkers.

Giddy Up Lucky's career resume stands at 117-39-16-22 with a mark of 1:49.1f taken in 2010 at Dover and a bankroll of $1,208,571.
