He retires with 7 wins from 10 lifetime starts, as well as 1 second and 1 third. Showing Up's five stakes victories included scores in a pair of Grade 1 races in 2006, the Hollywood Derby and the Secretariat Stakes. Trained by Barclay Tagg, he was a stakes winner on both dirt and turf who earned $1,420,000.

Showing Up also set records on both dirt and turf in 2006. He posted a track record of 1:34.05 for a mile at Gulfstream Park and a course record of 1:52.98 for 1 3/16 miles at Colonial Downs during the Colonial Turf Cup.
