Blue Cherokee, 2010, 17h bay gelding: retained for racing

Blue Cherokee needs a new home ASAP!  The track has closed and Blue Cherokee was supposed to go to Puerto Rico to continue racing.  The trainer taking him could not afford the shipping and Blue Cherokee was left without a backup plan.  He is located at a farm very close to the Finger Lakes Race Track in Farmington, NY and can be seen by appointment there.  His trainer reports that this boy is a real catch and that he has been stick measured at 17h.  He has a huge thick build and with his big poofy mane, almost looks like an overgrown pony!  His trainer reports he is sound to flex and jog on cold, hard old osselets which do not bother him at all.  He is confident and professional when on the track, always eager to get out and work.  He can be strong but never naughty.  He has a great personality and is cuddly in his stall.  His handler reports he has a great brain, is smart, level headed, not at all nervous and has no bad habits!  She reports he stands well for the vet, farrier, and grooms.  He walks right on the trailer and ships like a pro!  All of his connections love him and are confident his next family will love him just as much!  This is another perfect RRP prospect!  Please note:  due to the extremely icy conditions in Western NY, there was no safe way for horse or handler to take outside pictures and videos.  All the pictures and videos we have are posted.  You can watch old race videos for additional footage.

All My Memories, 2011, 17h bay gelding: retained for racing

He is located at a farm very close to the Finger Lakes Race Track in Farmington, NY and can be seen by appointment there. “Memories” is described as a character with a TON of personality!  It is reported that he can be strong at times but is never aggressive or naughty.  He is playful and likes to have toys in his stall to chew and bounce around.  Memories knows when it is time to work and is all business on the track.  His trainer reports that he is not nervous or spooky, has no bad habits or vices.    Memories has been a successful racehorse earning over $139,000 in his 34 starts with 5 wins, 7 seconds, and 2 thirds.  He is a classy Darley bred by Elusive Quality out of a Cat Thief mare.  All My Memories was a $120,000 two year old!  It is not often to get a gelding this big, well built, and well bred at this bargain of a price!  A fabulous opportunity for a rider looking for an RRP prospect! Stick measured at 17h.  Please note:  Due to the extremely icy conditions, it was not safe for horse or handler to get outdoor pictures and videos.  All pictures we have are posted.  You can watch one of his race replays to get video footage of his gaits.

Hollywood Jones, 2013, 15.3 bay gelding

Here’s your chance to own a Smarty Jones baby at a bargain price!  Hollywood Jones is a blank slate.  Although he has had race training, his training times are too slow to continue on as a race horse.  His trainer would like him to move on to a new career where he will be more successful.  For now, he is enjoying time at the farm getting turned out.  He is totally sound, let down, and ready to start training! His trainer reports he is easy to handle and he has no stall vices.  He stood quietly in the sleet to get his pictures taken and then calmly walked back to his turnout pasture.  He showed gorgeous movement for his jog video.  At only 3 years old, he still has some growing to do.  Hollywood Jones has a superficial scar on his hind leg from a pasture accident as a foal.  It is completely superficial and there was no tissue damage, but he does have a very small bald spot.  This is a bargain price for such a clean slate!  We suggest calling quickly.  References will be checked.

Golden Fire, 2010 16.1h chestnut mare

This girl has been golden on the racetrack, with a most impressive 12 wins, and 26 in the money finishes in her 50 start career. With few racing conditions left for her, she is retiring from racing sound and with no injuries during her successful racing career.  We admired her solid bodied athletic build,  her flashy chrome, and her adorable and distinctive white spot on her rump hear her tail.  She showed  very good balanced movement for her jog video. She needs a new home ASAP, which means she is offered at an amazing bargain price for such a solid bodied, good looking, athletic, good moving, sound and sane mare!!     The contact person, the trainer’s daughter, tells us that some words she uses to describe Golden Fire include:  competitive, sweet, energetic, happy, well behaved, smart, confident, willing, and cute. All excellent qualities for a competitive career in any discipline, or for a best friend and trail and pleasure companion.  Golden Fire has an excellent pedigree for sporting/jumping disciplines. She is by AP Indy’s son Golden Missile, who is out of a Cure the Blues mare from the Hail to Reason/Turn-to sire line. Golden Fire’s dam is by a son of the great Damascus, a renowned sire of good jumpers.The trainer’s daughter also says that she has no vices, is excellent in the wash rack, stands good for the farrier and vet, and ships well, walking right onto a trailer.  Her athletic body and sane mind make her a good candidate to go in any direction! She’s fully eligible for the 2017 RRP, and is a great horse for a great price!

Price $850 negotiable.

Five Star Dixie, 2010 16h bay mare

This pretty solid bodied girl drew up in with her kind eye and perfect behavior.  Unfortunately, she has lost the musical chairs game, since her trainer does not have enough stalls at this farm to keep her over the winter. So she urgently needs to find a good home by the morning of Weds. Dec. 7, when the Finger Lakes stable area closes.  She is a recent arrival to Finger Lakes, coming there in October after racing up and down the east coast, from Churchill to Gulfstream, Belmont, Delaware, Penn National, and Parx. She has 4 wins and 10 in the money finishes in her career, including at the allowance level, but this year she has not been as competitive. She had raced just four days before we took her photos, and her trainer says she has an osselet that bothers her for a few days after a race, but then she is fine.  We could see at the jog that she was just a bit off, but still showed that she is a very good mover, light on her feet, with suspension and good reach from her shoulders.  She should be fine for many disciplines, including lower level jumping.  She has very good solid bodied balanced conformation. Her groom says she is very good to handle, not at all marish. As she stood for us in the road, she got groomed by a team of three people, and she stood perfectly and politely.  She is a daughter of Five Star Day, a son of Carson City out of a mare form the Cox’s Ridge line. Her dam is by Dixieland Band, and her third dam is a stakes winner and stakes producer, and her fourth dam is a half sister to champion Silent Screen. Please step up for this sweet pretty mare and give her the chance at a good post track life that she so richly deserves!

Regifting, 2011, 15.3+ dk bay mare

What a perfect name for a horse to bring home during the holiday season!  This girl has a beautiful head which is not easily depicted in pictures.  Even on a very cold, gloomy day her shiny dappled coat was evident during her photo shoot.  She was very quiet and polite despite the sleet coming down on her at times while we stood outside her barn.  Regifting has a gorgeous, correct build.  Although she may be just under 16h, she has a very thick bone structure with a big belly on her that will fill up a taller rider’s leg.  Her trainer said she is very nice to work with and has no vices.  She also reports she has never had any soundness issues and we saw nice clean legs.  When her trainer was taking her blanket off and brushing her, a horsey friend next door was causing quite the ruckus and Regifting was totally unphased which makes us think she is a pretty easy natured girl.  Her trainer reports that Regifting is the only horse of her owner and she is very special to him.  She reports that he will want her to go to an exceptional home where she is loved and pampered.  For this reason, references will be checked.  Once the track closes, Regifting will move to her trainer’s farm just down the road from the Finger Lakes Race Track.  She can be seen there by appointment.  It is a very short and worthwhile drive!  Regifting would be a wonderful RRP 2017 horse and her connections would love to see her compete there!

Promise Me Forever, 2011 16h chestnut mare

This pretty girl impressed us with her solid bodied uphill build and her big shoulder and strong chest– her looks shout jumping potential!  Her groom says she is sound as a dollar and very good to handle.  She won a few races last year, but is not as competitive in the tougher race conditions she now must compete in, so it is time to find her a new career.  She posed politely for her photos, and jogged nicely for one of our volunteers. She showed off very pretty movement, light, with suspension, and a toe pointing trot.  We can see her doing well as a show hunter, in eventing, or dressage. She is by Utopia, and we have placed several of his offspring into new homes where they are showing aptitude for jumping and dressage.
