Ocala Princess, 2012 16h dark bay filly

Update July 31, 2015:  She has been taken in by an FLF volunteer who will now be the contact person for finding the perfect forever home for Ocala Princess. The filly is now located at a farm in Newark NY, not far from the Finger Lakes Race Track.

And what a pretty princess she is indeed! This striking dark beauty with a big blaze is lightly raced and sound, and letting her connections know that she just doesn’t want to be a racehorse.  With her lovely balanced and uphill build, strong sloping shoulder, and lofty movement, we can see her excelling in the show hunter ring or dressage arena.  Since she is only three, she is likely to grow some more, and may well top out at 16.1 to 16.2h.  We thought she was quite beautiful now, but imagine how stunning she will be when filled out and with new muscling.  Our admiration of her good looks turned to true excitement at her sport potential when we watched her jog for her video. Wow, what a lovely mover… lofty, light suspension and cadence, with a toe flicking trot.  The assistant trainer who showed her to us remarked that when others have seen her moving on the track in the morning, Ocala Princess has drawn many compliments for what a nice mover she is.  This beautiful young filly with no wear and tear on her presents a rare opportunity to get a horse with huge star potential for another discipline.  She is a granddaughter of Pulpit, who is a son of AP Indy, and her dam is from the Danzig line, from one of the famous Darby Dan Farm’s best female families.

Williston Drive, 2011 15.3h bay filly: New Price!

This lovely girl is described as an absolute sweetheart, and she also has a big heart and great work ethic.  She has been a successful racehorse, with 4 wins, 5 seconds, and 3 thirds in her 15 starts.  She recently won three races in a row, which means she must now face tougher race conditions at a level where her trainer does not think she will be as competitive. So he wants to find her a new non-racing home while she is sound where she can excel.  The trainer vouches that Williston Drive is really quiet and trustworthy, never does a thing wrong, has no vices, is great to handle both on the track and in her stall, and is a great horse that some lucky person will adore.  Williston Drive recently moved to a farm very close to the Finger Lakes Race Track, and the groom at the farm also raved about how sweet and good to handle she is.  Her legs are clean, and even though the handler moved slowly for the jog video so the filly could not stride out, we saw tantalizing hints of lovely toe pointing movement.  We then watched the videos of her recent races, and indeed saw a flowing big smooth stride and great toe pointing reach to her trot.  We can see this sweetheart making a great children’s hunter.  But with her smaller build and soundness and heart and athleticism, we also think polo people should give her serious consideration.  Her pedigree is full of great jumping/sport bloodlines:  Lemon Drop Kid, Kingmambo, Fappiano, Danzig, Northern Dancer, Buckpasser, Cox’s Ridge, Key to the Mint.  And her fourth dam is the great producer Missy Baba, so she comes from one of the best female families in the American studbook.

Nothing But Power, 2008 16.3-17h bay gelding

If you are looking for big, gorgeous, uphill build, solid bone, and beautiful movement, then pick up the phone… this stunning horse will not last long! Nothing But Power has been a good consistent race horse, with 7 wins in 27 starts, a long distance runner with lots of stamina, which bodes well for sporting disciplines. At the end of the racing season last year, he developed a slight strain in a tendon, so his trainer wants to move him on to a new career while he is sound.  The tendon, which never bowed, has been fully rehabbed, and we felt his legs and can report that they were cold and tight.  He is described as sound and ready to go in any discipline without known limitations.  When he jogged for his video, we saw floaty, light balanced movement, with suspension, cadence, and a toe pointing reach.  This suggests he could excel as a show hunter or in dressage.  He is described as quiet, very good to handle, with no vices or bad habits… an all around great horse. He was certainly a perfect gentleman for his photo session, and he was alert and friendly.  We admired his beautiful sculpted head and kind intelligent eye, as well as his great shoulder.  He is so well balanced that one does not realize how big he is until you stand right next to him. His pedigree is excellent for sport, as he is from the Gone West sire line, with Danzig, Deputy Minister, and Secretariat in the third generation.

Lupicaia 2011 15.3 h liver chestnut filly: Now at FLTAP

Update: As of July 27, 2015, Lupicaia has been moved into the Finger Lakes TB Adoption Program’s Purple Haze Center, located on the grounds of the Finger Lakes Race Track in Farmington, NY. She is available for adoption through FLTAP to approved homes with references, and under the FLTAP adoption contract.

Affectionately named Lucy by her doting trainer, this very pretty, well balanced and still growing girl has earned a slew of superlatives from her owner/trainer with the notable exception of “great racehorse”! She has endorsements from her riders as a wonderful horse to gallop with easy lead changes and a willingness to please. She is a classic morning glory with great morning training success which doesn’t transition to racing. After tweaking equipment, riders and raceday routine, Lucy”s trainer has decided that she is better suited to other disciplines.

In the morning sun Lucy was quiet and sweet. She loves attention from people in her barn and was noted to be an agreeable filly, just an all-around good egg. She has a very nice shoulder and clean, sound legs and a gleaming, true liver chestnut coat.

She turns out well with others and is very happy hanging out with the herd at the trainer’s farm.

Lucy is by the exciting sport sire Raffie’s Majesty out of a Fusaichi Pegasus mare and we can see her succeeding in just about any discipline.

Millions in Motion, 2009, 15.3 Bay Mare

This adorable mare has a beautiful fine stature that could make her an outstanding sport horse prospect or even a wonderful mount for the polo field. She is retiring sound, after earning over $70,000 on the track, with no vices, clean legs and a keen look about her that will draw attention in any venue! She is reported by her connections to be sweet, easy to handle and a love.  She has been with her current trainer for three years and he is anxious to find her a home where she will be loved.  Millions in Motion had impeccable behavior during our meet and greet and seemed to enjoy basking in the sun and nibbling some grass after we were done.  Millions in Motion is by Hook and Ladder who is known for producing successful sport horses with good brains and outstanding personalities.  We loved her cute dishy face and good sense despite the hustle and bustle around her.  This mare is a bargain and horses go quickly in this price range.  We suggest calling quickly if you think Millions in Motion is the next horse of your dreams!

Allertata, 2012, 15.3 bay filly

This cute filly came to her current connections over the winter in need of a few more pounds.  Her current trainer has worked hard to improve her weight and overall “shine”.  She reports Allercata has made significant improvements but feels she has a bit more to go.   Allercata is described as very sound, but  in only 8 starts, she has proven that she has no interest in racing.  We think her heart is in a different discipline!  It is reported that Allertata has no vices.  Her trainer states she can make some mean faces in her stall and has her occasional 3 year old green moments, but she is overall a sweetheart who will make someone a great partner in her second career.  We saw tight, clean legs and a beautiful coat.  Her beautiful build will be even more obvious with a few extra pounds.   Her trainer reports that Allertata enjoys time at the farm and is well behaved in turnout.  She was even popped over a few cavalettis this winter!  Even after racing yesterday, she showed a nice jog without any indication of soreness which is common post race.  Three year old horses are highly sought after on our listings, so call quickly if you are looking for a well built, sound, and young filly.

Hellcat, 2010 16+h dark bay mare: sold for racing

 Don’t let her name fool you– there is not an ounce of hellion in this beautiful young mare. This clean legged, sound and well balanced mare has been a good race horse, with 5 wins in 21 starts. Her trainer says she could keep racing, but her owner needs to cut back, so that will be the gain of someone looking for an athlete who can excel in many new careers! She has balanced conformatoin, clean legs, and her solid body will take up plenty of leg but her feminine head will draw the crowd’s attention in the show ring. Her dark coat is dappled with good health, although the cloudy day did not show them off. Hellcat was friendly, cuddled with her trainer, and was beautifully behaved for her photo session and jog video. She showed off lovely movement. Her trainer states that she settles right in at the farm and enjoys the laid back atmosphere as opposed to the hectic environment of the track. She has no vices, a beautiful flowing gait and is ready to start her new career!!

Miss Katts, 2011 16.+h dk b (black) filly

What a black beauty! Her freshly washed coat gleamed in the sun as Miss Katts posed for us.  The trainer’s daughter reports that Miss Katts is a sweet loveable girl, very well behaved both on the track and off, and that she is sound with no vices. She says the filly is just letting them know that she is not interested in racing anymore, but that’s your gain since we see so much potential for many disciplines in this lovely young horse.  With her uphill build, good shoulder, and nice suspension and reach at the trot, we can see her excelling in eventing or in H/J ring.  She also has a good pedigree for sport disciplines, since she is a granddaughter of Devil His Due. Miss Katts is at a farm very close to the Finger Lakes Race Track, where she has also spent the last two winters, and the farm owner also raved about what a nice horse, lovely to work with, Miss Katts is. We got to see her good nature for ourselves, since as we asked her to pose, the horse flies were tormenting her, two young horses turned out next to here were romping, and two kids on a noisy 4 wheeler ATV were playing  nearby.  But Miss Katts took it all in stride, and did her best to stand for photos and jog quietly for her video.
Better call quickly on this girl — young, pretty, nice moving, flashy blacks with white markings at bargain prices go fast!

Zio Stephan, 2010 15.3 Bay Gelding

Looking for an eye-catching bay gelding with just enough white to make him stand out in a crowd? Here is your guy! This nicely built gelding had a knee injury last season and while his owners worked to rehab him this winter, they have decided not to pursue further race training. He jogged sound for our volunteers today and he is barefoot– his shoes were pulled for the winter and he has not shown that needed them back! According to his connections, he is well mannered with no vices or stall habits, but will benefit from some turnout and letdown time, as he is much more content on the farm as opposed to the hectic environment of the track. A good home for this kind fellow is a must!

Linesman, 2011 16h chestnut gelding

This now four year old makes his way back to our listings this year after being sold for additional racing last year. If you’re looking for a diamond in the rough– here is your superstar in the making. Linesman is a gentle, kind, honest, calm, old soul-type young thoroughbred whose lineage may say racing, but his personality says children’s horse or amateur pleasure horse. He came back from his last race on June 29th with a dirt clod in his eye that has since become inflamed. His connections have been providing treatment, but this complication combined with his low aptitude for racing have lead them to make the decision to let him retire from racing and find his true calling. With a little TLC, this nice young horse will shine like a new copper penny! Take the chance today and make him your next adventure!
