Our volunteers learned on Saturday Dec. 7 that this pretty sweet filly urgently needed tot find a home by Monday, and we helped pull off the miracle and a wonderful person who has rehomed several Finests in the past stepped up for her the next day and she is now happily romping in a nice paddock!

This beautiful mare has been a good durable race horse, earning over $165,000 in her career. She is very well put together, a nice mover, described as sound, and her pedigree should have both sport horse and race horse breeders lining up for her! She is a daughter of Artax, out of a black type producing Cure the Blues mare, and her second dam is a stakes winner and stakes producer.

Update: Dec. 9, 2013: Our FLF volunteers have worked hard and found a very good home for Jilluke and shipping has been arranged. He is off to Massachusetts to bring joy to the life of a vet student!. .

This wonderful durable war horse has given his all in 101 starts, and is now in need of a great forever home as soon as possible! His trainer describes him as  kind, friendly and quiet. We admired his solid bodied build and adorable face. The trainer says he has an ankle that gets a bit puffy for a couple of days after a race, but that he is then fine.  He jogged sound for his video. He has certainly held up well over the years through many races, so that bodes well for his soundnes for many new disciplines.   http://www.equibase.com/profiles/Results.cfm?type=Horse&refno=6523993&registry=T

This gorgeous  young filly really wants a career in an environment less stressful than the racetrack, where she can channel her good looks. alert intelligence, and athletic ability in a new direction and reward an experienced patient rider.  Although she has run well this year, hitting the board in half her starts, she gets too wound up and nervous in the track environment to be happy.  Her trainer and groom would like to find her a new outlet that includes turn out and less commotion than the hustle and bustle and noise of the track.  If paired with the right person who has experience with OTTBs and the patience and vision to bring out her athletic talents, we think the beautiful girl can shine. She is a daughter of young sire Utopia, who already has some offspring showing jumping talent. Please give her a chance!

This handsome guy is described by his trainer as sweet, very good to work with and ride, sound and with very clean legs and with no vices. They say he just needs a new career. We can see that new career being in multiple disciplines!  His pedigree is full of great lines for sport and jumping, with Gone West, Seattle Slew, Secretariat, Roberto, Hail to Reason close up, among others.

This pretty, feminine mare has the most unusual dusting of white on her lovely face. She is ready for a new career because this year she is not racing well, although the past two years she was successful at the allowance level.  It was too windy and cold to get a video on the day we photographed her, but we watched some videos of her winning races and saw nice movement with a flat kneed reach to her gallop and trot. The day we saw her she was exhibiting very high hock movement, but this does not show up in the race videos, so it may have been a reaction to the cold blustery weather.  She is described as sound with no vices. She could go in many direction, and she also is well bred enough to have good broodmare potential for racing or for sport. She is by the very successful race horse Southern Image, from the Halo sire line, and her dam is by Lord Avie, and her second dam is a stakes winner and stakes producer.

Super quiet and a real lover is how the trainer describes this beautiful horse. He’s been retired from racing and she tried to make him a racetrack pony, but he just didn’t appreciate the other horses bouncing off him. She says she has been riding him and he is quiet and well balanced under both English and Western tack. She has even started jumping him. Despite his crooked front legs he is a lovely mover. His trainer says he has stayed sound through many races. His legs are clean and she says he has no vices.  This guy was very well behaved for his video despite the super windy, rainy day. He really would be quite flashy under saddle and fun to ride too. We think he will get noticed in the show ring, and might make a great prospect for local hunter shows. He could also make a great pleasure/trail riding guy! His price is negotiable to the right home.

Price: $500 highly negotiable to a good home

Double O One may not have a license to kill on the track, but he may steal your heart as a sport horse!  Light on his feet and very mature behaving for his age, he may very well grow into a secret agent with the ability to show in many different venues. He is built very uphill, with a nice even stride,  Double O One is a young sound horse who hasn’t hit the board in 7 starts and is ready to find his true calling in life.  At three, he has more growing to do, but already demonstrates a well developed hind end.  A complete steal at this price.

What a flashy solidly built girl, and who wouldn’t fall in love with her pretty face with her wide blaze with spots! This well bred daughter of City Zip is built like a tank, and she was friendly and alert.  She is described as sound and good to handle, and she’s got very nice movement. She has a half sister out of the same mare who is a successful show hunter, so that potential is definitely there for Jilly Willy. We can also see her in western tack, doing barrels, or as a sport horse broodmare. She is at a farm very close to the Finger Lakes race track, where you too can come admire her.  In addition to watching her jog for her video, we watched some race videos to assess her movement, and Jilly Willy looks to have a fluid balanced flat kneed gallop and trot. She has won 5 races with many in the money finishes, and her trainer wants to retire her while she is sound since there are fewer race conditions she is eligible for.

Friendly and very handsome, we were limited to admiring this cute guy in his stall, but we sure liked what we saw. He has quite a winning personality and kept begging for treats. We will do our best to get full conformation photos next week, but because he needs a new home as soon as possible, we are going ahead with his listing with limited photos and information. He has been a durable and hard knocking race horse, and looks very well put together. The Finger Lakes stable area closes very soon and he needs to find his new home when it does.

What a beautiful and very sweet mare, and she’s also a lovely mover. Well balanced, good conformation, clean legs, she is described as sound and easy to handle. Top Lass has been a good hard knocking durable race horse, winning 8 races and over $136,000. In her first year of racing at the age of four, she was a Saratoga allowance winner, which shows her class and quality. We spent a lot of time petting her, and she was very friendly and quiet, and soaked up our attention.She has an outstanding pedigree for sport. Her grandsire is Private Account, who’s a son of Damascus and grandson of Buckpasser. She also has Hoist the Flag and Dixieland Band close up. Excellent broodmare potential here. She is located on a farm very close to the Finger Lakes race track, where you can go get a close up look at this lovely mare.
