Lelamaux, 2012, 15.2h, dark bay filly

The lovely Lelamaux impressed us with her well balanced correct conformation, uphill build, very nice movement, and pretty head with a kind eye. She is ready to find a new career because since breaking her maiden this spring in a four and a half furlong sprint, she is not as competitive in the next level of race conditions — she shows good speed but cannot sustain it at longer distances. Her trainer says she is very sound, easy to ride, gallops in a D bit, and is good to handle. She does crib slightly, but it is controlled with a collar. She showed a flowing, even and balanced trot. We also watched the video of her winning race, and when she cantered back we could see that her canter is also flowing and balanced. She has an excellent sport pedigree. Her sire, Leroidesanimaux, is from the Blushing Groom sire line; her dam is by Grindstone, who is from the Fappiano sire line. With her speed, balance, and smaller stature, she could make an excellent polo prospect. But we can also see her doing well in any discipline.

Do It For Dennis, 2010, 16.3h, dark bay gelding

 Tall, dark, and handsome — Dennis impressed us a classy and kind guy. He is by Performing Magic, who is by Gone West — this is a sire line coveted by many in sport horse disciplines. He has Sadler’s Wells and Roberto on his dam’s side. We admired Dennis’ uphill build, long legs, intelligent eye, and perfect behavior. He showed fluid balanced movement for his jog video. He has old osselets, but he has raced with them, and his trainer says he is sound. It is time to find a new career because he hasn’t been competitive since he broke his maiden, and in his workouts so far this season he isn’t showing enough speed. His trainer says he is a good boy, an all around nice horse. Dennis is quite the bargain for such a big handsome gelding, and we think he would just love being someone’s partner for lower level jumping, trails, or pleasure riding.

Perfect Alignment, 2013 15.3h+ bay filly: sold for racing

This very pretty and still growing young filly has the uphill build and lovely movement that make her an excellent prospect for the hunter ring or for eventing… or for any discipline for that matter. After only 8 races with no wins, she has demonstrated that racing is not her game, so her owner/trainer wants her to find a new career while she is sound and her potential is unlimited. We admired her clean legs, good shoulder, flashy chrome, and very pretty head. When she has finished growing and is filled out, we think she will be stunning. She jogged politely on a loose lead, showing off a flat kneed trot with good reach from the shoulders and engagement from behind. Since she turned three only two months ago, we expect that she will top out at 16.1h, at least –on the day we photographed her, we estimated her height at just a hair under 16h. Her dam is by Smokin Mel who is a Fappiano grandson; we have placed several Smokin Mel offspring and they are durable, have great minds, and are doing well in many disciplines. We think Perfect Alignment is a perfect prospect for many sporting disciplines!

Mostly Love, 2008 16.3h bay mare: new price

For our volunteers, it was ALL love as we admired this gorgeous big kind mare with a fantastic sport horse pedigree.  Over her racing career, Mostly Love has won 6 races, with 20 in the money finishes. But her owner/trainer says she is letting him know she just doesn’t want to race anymore, so it is time to find her a new career where her beautiful shiny looks, solid build, and big strided good movement will turn heads.  He says she is sound, is a “big pet,” and that she turns out well with other horses, both geldings and mares. He told us that over the winter, his wife rode Mostly Love around their farm, and the mare was very well behaved.  Even though Mostly Love just wanted to drag her trainer over to the grass when he jogged her for us, we could still see that she is a very nice mover, with a powerful big stride and good engagement from behind.  She is sired by Leroidesanimaux (one of three of his daughters that we photographed today!), who is from the Blushing Groom sire line, was a turf champion, and is best known as the sire of Derby winner Animal Kingdom.  Her dam is by Roberto’s son Lear Fan, and is a half sister to Read the Footnotes, who has sired many horses who have gone on to notable success in eventing and jumping disciplines.  With this pedigree, Mostly Love has excellent broodmare potential, either for racing or sport.

Devonshire, 2007 16.2h+ bay gelding

For those of you who love the durable war horses, the ones who have danced every dance and are still sound, and who so richly deserve a great new life off the track, please step up for the beautiful and flashy Devonshire!  Over his long and successful racing career, he has racked up 10 wins, 18 places, and 13 shows, for over 50% in the money finishes in 78 starts.  Even though he is now working out regularly, he is letting his trainer know that he just doesn’t have the speed and racing desire he once  had, so it is time to move him on to a new career.  And with his size, elegance, and light lovely movement with good suspension, we can see many new disciplines in which Devonshire can excel.  Devonshire did slightly tweak his tendon this spring, but he is sound on it, and is regularly breezing 4 and 5 furlongs. So his trainer is confident that he should hold up for any new discipline.  We can see him as a great dressage horse, or in the hunter ring, or on the trails…. or anything!

Fried, 2007 16.1h+ bay gelding

This handsome and flashy solid boned guy is a class act in all respects! He has had a very good racing career, with 10 wins and 50% in the money finishes in 50 starts. But his allowance and stakes class days are behind him, and in his races this year he is not as competitive, and he is telling his owner/trainer it is time to let him enjoy a new career.  He is described as sound, intelligent, great to handle, well behaved — and we certainly saw all that. We admired his elegant head, strong shoulder, shiny coat and chrome as he posed for us just soaking up the sun. He showed good balanced movement for his jog video.  He has a great sport horse pedigree. He is a son of Freud — a sire very popular in sporting disciplines and full brother to Giant’s Causeway –, and his dam is by Fappiano’s son Cryptoclearance.  Damascus is another prominent jumping sire name close up on his dam’s side.  Fried has many more years to give in a new endeavor to the person lucky enough to step up for him. Do not let his age deter you — this is a classy durable sound horse who we think will be able to do anything in a new career.

Kitchi Warrior, 2010 16.2h bay gelding

Hubba Hubba — on a day when we saw many big beautiful bays, Kitchi Warrior won our volunteers’ hearts as the handsomest hunk of the day!  This gorgeous solidly built guy could easily blend in amongst warmbloods in the show arena.  We admired his balanced build, strong shoulder, top line, elegant head, dappled gleaming coat, and kind intelligent eye– he looks show ring ready. He is clean legged, and his owner/trainer says he is very sound and a very good sensible  horse to work with, with no vices. Kitchi has a good racing record, with 6 wins, and 17 in the money finishes, but his owner wants to retire Kitchi from racing because he has developed a partially obstructed airway at top racing speeds, exacerbated in the hot humid weather this summer. He says Kitchi has no breathing issues when galloping, does not make a noise, and should be fine for any discipline that involves less than the full speed of racing.  Kitchi showed dressage type movement for his jog video, with nice suspension and engagement from behind.  The owner says he had Kitchi on his farm over the winter, and he was great to handle and good to turn out with other horses.  He is offered at a bargain price for such a big, clean legged, gorgeous horse, so call fast!

Poem, 2012 16.2h dark bay filly

This beautiful filly is dark and tall.
On the track she has given her all,
but now it is time for her to find
a great new home that is loving and kind.

Yes, indeed, this big, elegant, almost black granddaughter of Dynaformer had us waxing poetic!  We see exceptional sport horse potential. Poem posed like a model, as we admired her strong shoulder, dapples, kind and intelligent eye — and the cute gray spot on her right shoulder.  She is ready to find a career other than racing, because since she broke her maiden earlier this year, she is not as competitive in the next level of race conditions.  Poem slightly bowed a tendon last year, before she raced, but it was fully rehabbed, and is now cold and tight and causes no soundness issues. Since she started her race career last October, she has run regularly, so we do not think she will have any limitations for any new career.   She showed good suspension and engagement for her jog video. We also watched the race video of her one winning race, and as she trotted back to the winner’s circle we observed a very lofty big trot that suggests excellent potential for dressage or eventing.  And her pedigree shouts sport horse!  Her sire Purim was a major stakes winner on turf and dirt, and he is by the great Dynaformer, well known as a sire of athletic jumpers and horses with endurance. Her dam is a granddaughter of Danzig, Northern Dancer’s son, and also has two crosses of Buckpasser.

Buddy Red, 2008 16h bay horse

Another wonderful durable war horse, the handsome and adorable Buddy Red is still sound and clean legged and quite a lovely mover after 69 starts, with 8 wins and 32 in the money finishes.  He is really just a big puppy dog — his owner/trainer kept saying what a good kind horse he is, not the slightest bit studdish. Just think what a great gelding Buddy will be!  We experienced Buddy’s agreeable good-to-handle nature for ourselves when one of our volunteers offered to jog him for his video, since his owner/trainer has limited mobility.  Buddy trotted politely on a loose lead, stepping out nicely and showing off a beautiful flat kneed ground covering trot. We think Buddy is a true gem, who could excel in any new discipline. He is certainly pretty enough and has the movement for the show hunter ring.  Do not let his age or “intact” status deter you — he has many more years to give, and at his bargain price you can pay for a simple gelding procedure and still have one of the bargains of the season!  A very good home is essential.

Rust in My Halo, 2012 15.1h gray filly

This adorable, compact, sweet little gray girl is unraced and clean legged — and a clean slate for any new career. With her small size we think she could make a great polo horse, but we also think she could do well in jumping disciplines, given her pedigree. Her sire is by Halo out of a Secretariat mare. This is the Hail to Reason/Turn-to sire line. Her dam is a Gone West granddaughter whose dam is from another branch of Hail to Reason through Cure the Blues. Her trainer says she is not showing enough ability to make it worth bringing her to the races.  She recently came to his barn with a bad case of thrush, which he is treating.  It is not quite cleared up, and while she walked just fine for a video, he did not yet want to jog her on the hard ground.  He says she is very sound otherwise, and we observed completely clean legs. If she is not snapped up immediately, we will check in later for a jog video.  Everyone wants a cute gray, so call fast if you are interested!

No It’s Not Me, 2010 15.3h chestnut mare

This very pretty and well bred mare dazzled us with her classic, correct, solid conformation, and her in your pocket sweetheart personality. She has been a very good race horse, with 7 wins, and 17 in the money finishes in her 34 starts. In her most recent race in mid-July, she came back sore on a knee that had chips in it (which she had successfully raced on). So now it is time to retire her, and she will need time off to rest her knee.  Her owner has not had it x-rayed since the recent race.  With her excellent pedigree and beautiful conformation and good race record, we think she is an excellent broodmare prospect, either for racing or for sport. She is by top sire Leroidesanimaux, best known as the sire of Derby winner Animal Kingdom.  Her dam is by champion Gulch, who is proving to be a very good broodmare sire.  Her second dam is a full sister to Travers winner Corporate Report, and is from the Damascus sire line through his son Private Account.  Lots of quality black type in her female family. With the Blushing Groom branch of Nasrullah in her sire line, and the Private Account/Damascus sire line on her dam side, this is a pedigree that has great appeal for sporting disciplines. It also presents many good outcross opportunities to leading sire lines for racing breeding.
The people at the farm near the track where the mare is resting raved about her sweet personality, and attested that she has been a model citizen while on stall rest. Her track connections also state that she is a sweetheart who is great to handle.  She is a mild cribber, but it is controlled with a collar.  Because of her recent knee injury, we did not ask for a jog video. She walked fine, and showed a flowing big stride. We also watched race videos to assess her movement, and we think she is a lovely mover with a flat kneed, flowing and balanced way of going.
Price:  $500 negotiable. Excellent home essential, references required.

Roar of Raul, 2011, 16h+, Bay Gelding

It was love at first sight for our volunteers! Raul was pleasant and kind in his meet and greet with our volunteers again today– just as he’s been in our past meetings despite all sorts of weather! He seems to understand that our time with him is the start of his new off the track life. He enjoys socializing with us, taking in the sights, and genuinely just “hanging out” in the afternoon sun. He was truly a favorite of the day and we would love to follow his future successes. When we asked his connections to describe him for us he kept repeating “he is just a very good boy”. We certainly agree! Roar of Raul unfortunately suffered a bowed tendon in his left front in his most recent race, and will need some time and rehab before he can reach his full potential– but we have seen many horses with bowed tendons come back to lead full careers off of the track. He jogged well on the injury, but it is still swollen. As always, a vet check is  recommended. Roar of Raul has a beautiful, correct build, a kind eye, and the pleasant demeanor that will make him successful as your next horse. Imagine him after a nice let down period with his excellent structure all filled out. He will be stunning! Due to the bow, he is priced well below  last years’ listing price– the owner is hoping for the right person to invest in his rehab and return to success.

Kaylyn’s Prayer 2011 16 h bay mare

Kentucky bred by Songandaprayer, Kaylyn’s best races were run on the surface of Gulfstream Park in 2014, ending her 2014 with a win at a mile on the dirt (ironically, FLF 2015 alum Go To Work was also in that race!). The year off would have to be discussed with the owner/trainer who states that she has breathing issues and that is why she has tailed off. She is very nicely put together and has a pretty head set off with a striking blaze. While we did her interview on one of the main roads, there were water trucks and a tractor going by and she didn’t seem to be bothered by any of the activity and noise. It was difficult to get a nice jog on a loose lead because she was ramped up but, at the price, a trip to the track to meet her up close and personal is well worth it.

Farwells Runnin 2012 16 h bay filly

This lovely lass may be the bargain of the day! Look past the dusty coat  and there is a pretty filly who will blossom with some elbow grease and TLC. She was very sweet and quiet while we posed her on the road and, because of a language barrier, we were not able to get a lot of information about her, but we did notice a left knee that looks to have sustained some injury. More information about that knee was not available to us on the day of her interview. She did show very nice movement at the jog with reach and suspension and she appeared sound.

What a cutie patootie! Never raced Maria walked out of the barn and stood like a Breyer horse for her photo shoot. We think she would be a sweet mount for a smaller rider and her pedigree is remarkable for its strong sport/jumping lines. She’s from the Broad Brush/Ack Ack sire line out of a Prime Timber mare, who is from the Cox’s Ridge line. We observed an irregularity in her left knee but the handler was unable to give information on it, however, a PPE would sort that out. We have reason to believe that Maria needs to find a home sooner rather than later.  Cute little grays are popular and we hope you scoop her up soon.

“Matty” is offered for sale by his wonderful connections who truly love this horse and want the very best placement for him. At almost 17 hands, he is the tall, dark and handsome gelding that so many OTTB enthusiasts are looking to park in their barns. Matty is not only flashy, he’s very classy and a gentleman to work around. Kentucky bred Matty started his career on the NYRA circuit and his latest starts have been here at Finger Lakes where he has scored 3 consecutive wins this year. With 4 lifetime wins he now moves in to tougher competition in open company races and his owners are moving him on. At the jog, he has a big, ground-covering stride that demonstrates nice suspension and good push from behind. At this price point, big, flashy horses don’t last long before getting scooped up.

Esperanza Turista, 2012 15.3h dark bay filly

After only three starts, this pretty girl is showing no racing aptitude at the sprint distances prevalent at Finger Lakes, so it is time for her to find a new career. With her lovely movement and strong shoulder and sport horse pedigree to drool over, we think there are many new careers in which she will excel. She is clean legged and described as sound and good to handle, and she was certainly nicely behaved for her photo session.  Esperanza Turista is likely to grow a bit more, and we think when she fills out she will be stunning.  For her jog video, she showed good engagement from behind, suspension, and nice reach to her big strided trot.  She is by Tiago, from the Pleasant Tap/Pleasant Colony/His Majesty/Ribot sire line, and a mare by Stop the Music from the Hail to Reason/Turn -to line.   Esperanza’s dam is by a grandson of Secretariat; her second dam was a multiple stakes winner, graded stakes placed. Her pedigree is full of stout stamina lines, and is completely free of Mr. Prospector or Storm Cat.  Young, sound, pretty,  a lovely mover — all at a bargain price!

JENS MIRACLE, 2011 16.1 h chestnut mare: new price

If you like the “look of eagles”, this pretty granddaughter of A.P. Indy  had a lot of that going on during her interview! She was very alert, probably concentrating on the horses she could see galloping on the training track, but she was polite and kept all four on the floor. She also was kept on a loose lead and was very respectful of her handler. Her trainer says she is a very good girl, great to handle.  She was certainly affectionate and curious with us. We loved her athletic build with a big shoulder and engine topped by a pretty head and perfect blaze. As we watched her trot for her video we noticed that she tracked up nicely at the walk and had a lovely, springy trot with great flowing reach. We have a hunch that she is an athletic mare and her race record (50% in the money finishes out of 33 lifetime starts) would suggest that she is not only athletic but has a big heart as well. Alas, Jen isn’t feeling the racetrack this year, but she certainly has potential for just about any discipline away from racing. We can see her excelling in eventing, dressage, or the hunter ring. Don’t hesitate to call about this shiny copper beauty!

Siro Floozie, 2011 16.2h+ chestnut filly: owner retained for breeding

This tall, leggy, lightly raced,  daughter of Grand Slam has outstanding broodmare  potential for racing or sport, given her build, breeding, and movement!  She has the long and leggy, big sloping shoulder, classic thoroughbred looks, and she is described as a very friendly people horse, a sweetheart with no marishness or vices who greatly prefers carrots over peppermints. She has had only 11 starts, with 2 wins and 6 other on the board finishes.  She pulled a shoulder muscle in a recent workout, and how needs some rehab time. She will eventually be fine for riding and any discipline, but her owner/trainer thinks that she would be an ideal broodmare given her excellent pedigree.     Her sire Grand Slam is proving to be an exceptional broodmare sire for racing. He is also well known for producing horses with great brains and heart who are now excelling at eventing and in the H/J ring. Everyone we know who has been lucky enough to have a Grand Slam offspring in the sport world says they would take another one in a heartbeat!  She is out of a mare by Carson City, and her female family comes from one of the top lines of the great breeding operation of Paul Mellon’s famous Rokeby Farm. Her 4th dam is the French champion Rosaliere, who has produced many other champions or producers and sires of top stakes horses.  Siro Floozie was sold for $50,000 as a yearling, which is a testament to her pedigree and good looks.

The video is from last summer, and she jogged slowly and quietly, showing hints of lovely toe pointing movement. We watched some of her race videos, and in those, as she cantered and trotted back we saw a big flowing stride and a lovely ground covering toe pointing trot.

This is an elegant, lightly raced gelding with substance and some potential growth in his future. He was very quiet and kind and posed perfectly while standing on the grass outside the barn. He had run just two days prior to his photo shoot and still had some poultice on his legs. Two days out from racing he displayed no signs of stiffness or soreness and had lovely, ground covering movement at the jog.

Pop Emotion 2013 16.1 h dk bay filly: retained by owner

On a day when we saw our share of bargain-priced, nicely moving, sound beauties, we were delighted to see this tall, nicely put-together dark bay filly who undoubtedly will top out at 16.2 or 16.3. She is reported to be sound and has a “puppy dog” personality according to her handler. She is running at bottom maiden claiming level and is just not competitive. Rather than putting more time and effort into her for dubious reward on the track, her trainer is wisely electing to move her on. We really liked this cute girl and think she can go in just about any direction (except, perhaps, polo!)

Quikpikslikchik, 2013, 16h, Dark Bay Filly

This chick’s got all the moves, a delightfully classy eye, has a nice shoulder, uphill build and is ready to move on in any direction. Her gorgeous dark dapples showed off her nice build and her coat gleams of good care and proper nutrition.  Quikpikslikchik is very lightly raced.  After only a handful of races, it is clear her talent is better used in a different discipline.  She already has some height and substance to her, but Quikpikslikchik will continue to grow in height and will surely fill out even more!  She showed light movement at the jog with good reach from the shoulder.  We think she would turn heads in the hunter ring.  Her trainer describes her as “friendly and curious”.  She is currently located at a farm nearby the racetrack.  The farm owners report she is super sweet, quiet, and confident despite her young age.  She is retiring completely sound and clean legged.  Here is a serious bargain for a big, fancy filly with unlimited potential.  She has no vices.

She comes from one of the best female families in modern racing:  her third dam produced the superstar mare and racing Hall of Fame member Serena’s Song, as well as other graded stakes winners. Her second dam, Serena’s Song’s half sister, was herself a graded stakes winner, and her dam Bright Image, a daughter of Summer Squall, has produced a graded stakes placed runner and two daughters who are graded stakes producers.  So in addition to her huge potential for sporting disciplines, this gorgeous filly has significant broodmare potential.

Punch It, 2013, 15.3h, Bay filly.

This pretty and well bred filly exudes class. She is lightly raced with only 11 starts and is not showing much promise. Her trainer is ready to retire her sound, clean legged, and with much potential to be successful in another career! She has a great pedigree for sport — she is by AP Indy’s young son Girolamo, out of a Two Punch mare, which is a sire much coveted in the eventing world. Her second and third dams are graded stakes producers. She has a gorgeous build that looks to have a natural topline. She showed a floaty, ground covering trot that we think will turn heads in the hunter ring! At only 3 years old, Punch It will continue to grow in height and will definitely fill out. She was a bit nervous today while we were taking her pictures, but was not naughty. Her trainer reports she is sweet and good to work with and settles quickly at the farm. We were told that her exercise riders love riding her as she is always well behaved and “classy”. A good home is a must! There has already been a lot of interest in this fancy girl, so we suggest calling quickly if you are seriously interested in bring her home!

RICO ACT 2009 16.1+ chestnut gelding

It is with a heavy heart that this beloved pet is offered for sale to someone who will love him and pamper him as much as his current connections do. Rico, who has made almost $100,000 on the track, is not in his competitive years and, while sound, the deep, cuppy racetrack is taking a toll on his big, heavy frame and his owner/trainer is electing to stop on him so he can be fully useful in his second career. His flashy good looks speak for themselves but his huge personality can’t be captured in pictures! In some ways, Rico is like the class clown: mugging for treats, craning his neck into the shedrow for scritches and always up for some one-on-one time with his human admirers. His morning routine includes a stop at Aunt Bev’s where he has his usual: a serving or two of peppermints and the affirmation that he is a very good boy!

Over the winter, Rico was turned out with some of his stablemates, including a mare, a filly and another gelding who is the stable track pony. Ever the lover and never a fighter, Rico go t along with everyone and made full use of his hillside paddock with many romps with his pals and stayed fit and strong during his vacation.

He had his glory years on the racetrack and now it’s time for him to have many, many more glory years in the showring or as a permanent fixture in his new person’s riding program. It is important to his connections that Rico is not intended to be a flip project, and he will be sold with a contract and references.

Lifes A Roar, 2009, 16.3, Grey/Roan Gelding

This solid bodied gorgeous grey is sure to be a head turner anywhere he goes!! Wow!  Here’s your chance to own a 6 figure horse for a tiny fraction of that cost.  He sold for $350,000 as a yearling– he had clearly been identified by bloodlines and conformation as a great prospect– and race he did! Lifes A Roar earned $88k+ in 39 races on the track and came to Finger Lakes a few weeks ago from NY. Unfortunately, he had sustained an injury to his suspensory and will need time off with veterinary consultation to properly rehab the ligament. His trainer suspects that he will be ready to start rehabbing in about a month, but ultrasounds have not recently confirmed his current place in the healing process. He was sound at the walk and tracked up nicely.  He was just slightly off at the jog and minimal swelling was noted.  His current trainer has been taking care of it appropriately.  This is a serious bargain for someone willing to put in a bit of TLC with the end result being a drop dead gorgeous, well bred, friendly gelding. With his height and build, he will fill up the leg of even the tallest rider.

Randie’s Dream, 2013 16.2h+ chestnut gelding

Randie is indeed a dream — this barn favorite is described as a big sweet  puppy dog who is always well behaved.  We saw his friendly and laid  back personality first hand as he mooched for mints and jogged quietly, showing off lovely light movement for such a  big growing young horse.  Randie is lightly raced with only 6 starts, and even though he recently broke his maiden, his connections know he isn’t going to succeed in the tougher level of competition he must now face, so they want to do the right thing and let him find a new career while he is still so sound and clean legged.  He has unlimited potential for any new direction. He has the demeanor to be a show hunter, and the size and stride for eventing or jumping.  Randie is a son of Dublin, who is a son of Afleet Alex.  Afleet Alex offspring are well know for having great brains and temperaments, as well as good movement and jumping ability.   Randie is bargain priced for such a big, young, sound, sane, nice moving gelding, so you should call quickly if you are seriously interested. Good home essential, and references will be required.

Summer Warrior, 2013 16.1h+ bay gelding

This gorgeous grandson of AP Indy is a dream horse for those who appreciate that there are few things more beautiful than an elegant plain bay thoroughbred!  Lightly raced, clean legged and sound, still growing and likely to top out at close to 16.3, Summer Warrior is letting his connections know that he just doesn’t want to be a racehorse. We think he just wants to float around the show ring and beg for treats!  He displayed lovely light flowing movement for his jog video.  Summer Warrior is described as a very friendly horse who loves candy and kids; we saw this for ourselves as he nuzzled and played with the young son of one of the barn workers, and the trainer’s wife showed us photos on her phone of Summer Warrior cuddling with kids in his stall.  Unlimited potential for any discipline — call fast because big, young, sound, lovely movers with kind temperaments are what everyone wants!

Ensemble, 2012 16.2h+ chestnut filly

This big, athletic, filly impressed us with her unlimited potential for sport disciplines with her uphill build, strong shoulder and hind end, and very nice movement with some suspension.  Her pedigree is also excellent for sport disciplines.  Ensemble is lightly raced with only 8 starts and one win. Her trainer says she is sound, and her legs are clean. But she gets too nervous during races, and has started to flip her palate. They have scoped her and everything is fine; she just needs a new career.  They say she is good on the farm, is good to handle, has no vices.  She is a daughter of Posse, who is by Silver Deputy, a son of Deputy Minister. Her dam is a multiple stakes winner, and a stakes producer, by Pentelicus, who is by Fappiano out of an In Reality mare.  Her second dam is also a multiple stakes producer, and her third dam has produced stakes winners as well, so there is lots of pedigree power for race breeding for the NY bred program, or sport horse breeding.
For a young sound filly with her size, movement, and quality pedigree, she is truly bargain priced, so call fast!
Price:  $1,000 negotiable

Be Brief, 2010 16.1h+ dark bay (black) gelding

If you like black beauties with chrome, then Be Brief is for you! To add to the attractive package, he is a friendly and kind horse, good to handle, and a nice mover too. We first listed Be Brief last fall, but the owner then decided he wanted to keep racing him, and sent him to a new trainer. This year, the new trainer has convinced the owner it is time to let Be Brief move on to a good new home to enjoy a new career. We were told that Be Brief is sound, but he has a paralyzed flap which impairs his racing ability. He has not had tie back surgery, so that remains an option.

Note: the trainer speaks limited English, so please be patient when contacting him, and it would help if you speak Spanish or have a friend who does. If you want to come to the track to see Be Brief, he is in Barn 7. We usually have volunteers there on Saturday mornings and would be happy to show him to you and assist with the language barrier.

Screenplay 2007 16.2 h chestnut gelding: Price Reduced!

If you want a chance to own a gelding who comes close to racing “royalty”, this solid, handsome fellow should impress. Having earned almost $400,000 on the racetrack, winning 14 races during a career that included races at just about every eastcoast racetrack, including Keeneland and Gulfstream, Screenplay transitioned to a career as a track pony. He was recently shipped up from Florida with his stablemates and, alas, isn’t getting enough work as a track pony and, as his owner/trainer says, “he needs a job”. Indeed, a hallmark of the been-there-done-that warhorses is a desire to be in work and eagerness to please. He has a lovely, blocky, well-proportioned build with a massive shoulder and beautifully set neck. Screenplay positively exudes class and dignity and his price reflects that, and so much more. His connections would be happy to see him be in work off the track but are content to hang on to him as well. We think he is worth every penny!

Starship Liberty, 2010, 15.3h Chestnut Gelding

This handsome, solidly built guy with a very kind, gentle eye is ready for a new career.    Starship Liberty has excellent bone structure with correct, uphill conformation.  We were quite impressed with what a nice mover he is,  with good reach and suspension with movement from his shoulder.  His trainer reports he is sound with no vices, but he has let them know he just does not want to race anymore. In a race this spring, he refused to leave the starting gate, so now he needs a new job..  This is another opportunity to get a solid, sound, young gelding for a  bargain price.

Price $ 1500 negotiable

Broadway Market, 2013, 16h, Chestnut filly: new price

Update July 2:  Broadway Market recently got a puncture wound on her leg, and it is being treated with antibiotics and wrapped, and she is recovering well and will eventually be fine. But she now needs to find a good new home as soon as possible, so her price has dropped significantly to a good home.

Another flashy girl that will help you stand out in any ring!  Broadway Market is very lightly raced, with only 1 start, and is just too slow to continue training.  She is a big stocky girl, and at only 3 years old, she will continue to grow and fill out.  She is a great option for a taller rider looking for a young, lightly raced girl to bring along.  She was very quiet during her meet and greet today, which her connections report is very typical.  They state she is always kind to work with, despite her young age.  Her legs are nice and clean.   She has no vices.
