MOMENT OF TRIUMPH, 2014 16+h bay mare

MOMENT OF TRIUMPH, 2014 16+h bay mare
Located at Finger Lakes Race Track, Farmington, NY (near Rochester)
This beautiful, elegant mare is described by her connections as a sweetheart who loves treats and attention and who is always well behaved and a pleasure to be around.  She never acts “marish,” and has won the hearts of people in her barn who usually are not partial to mares.  Moment of Triumph has been an honest hard trying race horse, racking up over $100,000 in earnings over her 52 race career, but this season she is letting her people know that she just would rather not race anymore. She is ready to move on to a new career sound and happy, with clean legs. She has lovely balanced conformation with good bone, a strong hind end and a big sloping shoulder — she looks like an athlete!  For her jog video she showed off very good movement with reach from her shoulders and good push from behind.  She has an outstanding pedigree for sporting/jumping disciplines. Her sire is Include, who is by Broad Brush out of a Stop the Music mare (from the Hail to Reason/Turn-to sire line).  Her dam is by More than Ready, from the Halo sire line, and is out of a mare with Damascus and Seattle Slew close up in her female family.  We can certainly see this mare bringing you many “moments of triumph” in eventing, hunters or jumpers!
Price:  $3,000 negotiable

DUNHAM BAY, 2018 16h bay gelding

DUNHAM BAY, 2018 16h bay gelding
Located at Finger Lakes Race Track, Farmington NY (near Rochester)
This gorgeous young gelding checks all the boxes for what everyone says they are looking for!  Lightly raced,  balanced and solid bodied conformation, sound, clean legged, a lovely mover, with a sweet and playful personality.  After just four races, it is obvious to his track connections that race horse is not the right career for him, but he has unlimited potential for any new discipline.  Around the barn they affectionately refer to him as “chunky punk butt,” and the trainer tells us that he is very sweet, loves to play and interact with people, and he happily amuses himself with a jolly ball in his stall. He has beautiful conformation, uphill with a strong sloping shoulder, well balanced, with a good topline and a kind eye. For his jog video he displayed very good movement, with lightness and suspension and an even cadence. His sire is Palace, who is a son of City Zip.  His dam Holly’s Star is by Dublin, who is by Afleet Alex.  These sire lines are known for athletic horses with good brains and temperaments; we have placed several who are excelling in eventing and as show hunters.
Price:  $5,000

PALACEOFRESENTMENT, 2017 16.1h bay filly

PALACEOFRESENTMENT, 2017 16.1h bay filly
Located at Finger Lakes Race Track, Farmington, NY (near Rochester)
This solid bodied pretty bay girl is described by her track connections as a good filly to handle and work with, sensible and sound with clean legs — but after 9 starts with no wins, she is not showing enough on the track to warrant going on in that career.  In her most recent race at the end of June, she bled slightly (known as exercise induced pulmonary hemorrhage, EIPH), so sher caring owner decided it would be best for her to find a career less strenuous than racing (which means almost any new career).  Once horses are off the confined environment, and in situations where they get turn out and don’t have to run at full racing speed,  EIPH becomes a non-issue, and it presents no limitations on any new career.  She is solidly built, with a strong hind end and shoulder– and her four cute socks add to her visual appeal. She showed very good movement for her jog video, balanced and light with a good push from behind.  She is fully eligible for the 2021 and 2022 RRP. She has an excellent pedigree for sport. Her sire is Palace, who is a son of City Zip. Her dam, Resentment,  is by Tiz Wonderful, a son of Tiznow.
Price: $3500 negotiable

Giant Miracle, 2018 16h dark bay filly

GIANT MIRACLE, 2018 16h dark bay filly
Located at Finger Lakes Race Track, Farmington, NY (near Rochester)
If you are looking for a young, lightly raced, sound filly whose pedigree just screams sport horse potential and sport horse breeding, this nearly black daughter of Frost Giant out of a Cryptoclearance mare is for you! After just three races in which she languished near the rear of the field,  it is obvious that racing is not the career at which Giant Miracle can excel.  But with her pedigree and lofty movement, we can see Giant Miracle excelling in eventing, dressage, and as a sport horse broodmare.  Her track connections report that she is sound, good to work with and has no vices or issues – she just needs a new career!  Her most recent race was at the end of June, and she is fully eligible for the 2021 and 2022 RRP.  For her jog video she showed lofty movement with spring from behind.  When she finishes growing and fills out and develops across her top line, she will be a looker — she already has an amazing sloping shoulder! Her sire, Frost Giant, who is by Giant’s Causeway out of a Gone West mare, is deservedly coveted as a sire of eventers, dressage horses, and jumpers.  Giant Miracle’s dam Zaphyra also brings in coveted sport horse lines– she is a stakes placed daughter of Victory Gallop, who is a son of Cryptoclearance, and she is out of a graded stakes mare from Blushing Groom and Mill Reef/Never Bend lines. Cryptoclearance is the branch of the Fappiano sire line that has most excelled in sporting/jumping disciplines.
