About
What’s Up Dog is a 3yo dark bay/brown gelding from the United States trained by Cipriano Contreras. He is by Beau Liam out of Rosy Roar. To date the horse has secured one win, the highlight coming on 2 Nov 2025 at Churchill Downs when he captured the $67,000 Md purse. He has proved a profitable runner for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have delivered a 40% return on investment.
