AVID SUCINORI, 2018 15.3+h dark bay mare — retained to race

Located at Finger Lakes Race Track, Farmington NY (near Rochester)

And what does this name mean, you might ask? It is her sire and dam’s names backwards! This lovely dappled beauty is by Ironicus, out of Diva Delight. She is reported to be a very quiet and sweet mare, who is great to handle and good for everything — grooming, walking, riding on the track, in the wash rack, farrier, vet — you name it and she’s a kind sweetheart about it. In her most recent race, she got jostled around at the start, and came out of it a bit body sore. With some time off — which almost any horse coming right off the track can benefit from — she should be fine for any discipline you want to do with her. She has been a good consistent race horse, with 3 wins and 12 additional placings and earnings of over $100,000 in 24 starts. Showing her heart and consistency, she has one win and two thirds this year in only 6 starts — and she is fully eligible for the 2024 RRP. She was missing a couple of shoes when her jog video was taken, so not surprisingly she took some uneven steps — but she also displayed her lovely demeanor, good engagement from behind, and a smooth even trot. Avid Sucinori has good broodmare potential, since there is lots of black type and successful durable runners in her female family. Her first four dams are all stakes producers, including some graded stakes winners, and her dam, Diva Delight, has a stakes winning two year old in only two starts and a very bright future. Her pedigree for sport is also excellent. Her sire Ironicus is by Distorted Humor (a noted broodmare sire) out of an AP Indy mare. Her dam is by Tiz Wonderful, a son of Tiznow, and she’s out of a mare from the Mr. Greely/Gone West sire line. This is some good pedigree power offered at a bargain price!

T’s DOUBLE TROUBLE, 2019 16.1h dark bay filly with chrome

Located at Finger Lakes Race Track, Farmington, NY (near Rochester)

This flashy filly is known as Bunny around her barn. Buny’s trainer — who also started her under saddle as a baby and gallops her in the morning — told us that Bunny is good to ride, uncomplicated, does nothing wrong, but is also forward and on the muscle, so an experienced rider is recommended. Bunny likes attention, can be grouchy in her stall, but is the sort of filly that will bond with her person. Outside her stall, she doesn’t display any grouchiness. Her trainer says she’s sound and has not had any issues, but with one win in 13 starts, she isn’t showing enough likelihood of racing success at the next level of competition to be worth retaining for racing. Bunny has unlimited potential for any new discipline, and she’s fully eligible for the 2024 RRP. For her jog video Bunny showed a nice swinging walk with good overstep and a lovely light trot. She is by Al Khali, a son of Medaglia D’Oro from the El Prado/Sadler’s Wells sire line. Her dam is by Silk Broker from the Fappiano line.

IOVA, 2018 16.1h chestnut mare

Located at Finger Lakes Race Track, Farmington, NY (near Rochester)

Looking for a horse with great potential for eventing or jumpers? Iova is your girl! Her connections describe her as a very sweet horse who loves attention and peppermints, but also loves to go, loves to have a job, is athletic, and would in their view make an awesome cross country horse or jumper. Iova is described as sound, and good to handle. We watched her get groomed without being tied, while she also ate her lunch — most on track horses would not have been so calm and agreeable about this! We were also told that Iova has been around kids, dogs, goats and enjoys the activity and takes it all in stride. She has 2 wins in 36 starts, with 18 additional top three finishes and nearly $100,000 in earnings. Although she has 4 placings in 7 starts this year her connections feel that more wins in tougher competition will be hard for her, so they would like to find her a new career where her forward enthusiasm will help her succeed. Iova was very well behaved for her jog video, and showed off a nice overstep at the walk and beautiful movement at the trot with a light loft and reach to her step. Iova has an excellent pedigree for sport horse disciplines. Her sire Lea is from Giant’s Causeway and Galileo lines. Her dam Stroll By is by Stroll, a son of Pulpit (AP Indy), and she is from one of the best female families in the TB stud book, replete with stars on the track and in breeding. Iova’s 4^th dam is a full sister to the great Round Table — a name that sport horse disciplines love to see in pedigrees.

HANGOUT, 2018 16.2h dark bay gelding

Located at Finger Lakes Race Track, Farmington NY (near Rochester)

Wouldn’t you like to be able to hangout with this gorgeous black guy every day?! Even on the wet and cloudy day that we photographed him, the dapples on his gleaming black coat were visible. We think this solid boned horse is one of the best eventing or jumper prospects we have listed this year — but he could do any discipline. Hangout’s trainer says he’s very athletic, sound, has good feet, and has a playful clown personality — which we saw as he nibbled at the strings on her jacket and she tapped on his lip. She says he trains in the morning like a stakes horse, but just doesn’t show interest in passing the leaders in the afternoon. She describes Hangout as a “happy” horse who’s strong to gallop, so an experienced rider looking for an upper level athlete would be best for him. She also says that he loves swimming in the track’s pool, and likes to go through any sort of water — ideal for the cross country course! She reports that Hangout is good in turnout, and that the people who have had him on their farms the last couple of winters love him, and say he settles right down on the farm. Hangout was a bit up for his jog video, showing his power, but also showing good hind end engagement with a light loft to his step. He is by Upstart, who is a son of Flatter — both sires are known for getting horses with good brains, athleticism, and jumping ability. His dam is by Bernstein.

DUCK POND ROAD, 2017 15.3h bay gelding

Located on a farm very close to Finger Lakes Race Track, Farmington NY

Sweet, has a great brain, levelheaded, kind, great to handle, very sound — as the owner/trainer told us all these attributes of Duck Pond Road we thought — wow, he is the horse that everyone wants, and he can go in any new direction you want! We photographed Duck Pond Road at his owner/trainer’s farm — which is just a mile down the road from Finger Lakes Race Track — on a cold and rainy day right after he had been brought from the track to the farm. Like a duck takes to water, Ducky was loving the weather, and wanted to get back out to his pasture. His owner/trainer says Ducky is great in turn out and will happily stay out all day no matter the weather, and gets along well with other horses. The owner/trainer told us he thought Ducky would make a great trail horse, or could be a kid’s horse after professional retraining. Duck Pond Road is adorable, very well put together, clean legged, and a very cute mover — we have videos both on uneven muddy ground on the farm, and on pavement at the track. The owner/trainer is downsizing, and Ducky has not won a race this year, so he would like to find him a new home and a new career. Duck Pond Road has 4 wins, 10 seconds, and 7 thirds in 48 starts, and he has never had any unsoundness issues — he has been a hickory racehorse! From when Duck Pond Road was a yearling coming two, and into the spring of his two-year-old year, he was at a farm to be started under saddle where one of our volunteers boards a horse. Our volunteer remembers him as cute, friendly, and an uncomplicated and willing horse for starting under saddle. Those initial traits are still what Ducky is today. Duck Pond Road is by Soaring Empire, who is from Empire Maker, Unbridled, and AP Indy lines. His dam Shangaloo is by Roaring Fever, and out of a mare whose offspring have been placed through past year’s FLF listings, and went on to successful careers in eventing, and as all-around trail horses. If you are looking for a rock-solid, sweet and quiet, pretty, and sound horse who can go on to do any discipline you want, Ducky is your horse!

STORMY NEW YORK, 2017 15.2+h bay gelding

Located at Finger Lakes Race Track, Farmington NY (near Rochester)

Stormy has been with his owner/trainer for his entire racing career, and he is definitely a trainer and barn favorite. She says he is a “sweetheart, that anyone can do anything with,” sound, friendly and lovely to handle. Stormy has spent winters on his owner/trainer’s farm, and she says he is wonderful to handle on the farm and turns out well with other horses. Stormy has two wins in 26 starts, with 8 additional placings, so he has been a steady earner, but this year he hasn’t been as successful in his races, so his owner/trainer realizes it is time to let him move on to a new career — and he is fully eligible for the 2024 RRP. With his stocky build, powerful hind end, and smaller stature, we can see Stormy being very handy around the barrel patterns, but he could go in any direction you desire. Stormy displayed good movement for his jog video, with good hind engagement and some loft and reach. He i by Stormy Atlantic, from the Norther Dancer line, and a sire that sport horse people seek out. His dam is by Kitten’s Joy from the El Prado/Sadler’s Wells sire line, out of mare from the Rubiano/Fappiano line. Kitten’s Joy offspring have excelled in dressage and eventing. The owner/trainer cares deeply about getting the best of homes for her horses, so be prepared to demonstrate to her that you are worthy and will cherish her beloved Stormy as much as she has.

SMART STORM, 2019 16.2h bay gelding

Located at Finger Lakes Race Track, Farmington NY (near Rochester)

A trainer favorite, this big young gelding by Lookin at Lucky is described as “super sweet — loves my kids and they love him”, sound, and an all-around great boy. His trainer has owned and trained him for a couple of years, and everyone in the barn loves him, and they wish they could keep him, but he just hasn’t shown enough racing ability to justify overwintering him and bringing him back to the races next year. But their loss is your gain, since this horse has unlimited potential for any new discipline. The trainer reports that Smart Storm is great to ride and an exercise rider favorite, calm and well behaved when walking the shedrow or on the walking machine. “He’s going to make someone a really nice horse,” she says. As we photographed him, we admired his kid eye, and well balanced conformation with a strong sloping shoulder and strong hind end. For his jog video he displayed good movement with nice engagement from behind. Lookin at Lucky, a son of Smart Strike, has become a very popular sport horse sire, both for eventing and show hunters, known for offspring with good brains, kind temperaments, a good work ethic, and jumping ability. Smart Storm’s dam is by Stormin Fever. Smart Storm has one win in 25 starts, with ten placings, and he is fully eligible for the 2024 RRP.

REGAL EMPIRE, 2019 15.3H BAY GELDING

Located at Finger Lakes Race Track, Farmington NY Rochester)

Presenting one of the last of the Lemon Drop Kid offspring, Regal Empire is from the penultimate crop of this great stallion, who is a very popular sire in the sport horse world, known for good brained, durable, sound, athletic horses with a lot of heart and jumping ability. Reflecting his excellent breeding, Regal Empire sold for $90,000 as a weanling and $125,000 as a 2 year old — but he’s now available for a new non-racing career for a fraction of those lofty prices! Regal Empire was described to us as very friendly, great in turnout with other horses, good with dogs, sound and with great feet –which is not an attribute that can be said about a lot of thoroughbreds. He has minor filling in his ankles that has been there for his whole racing career and has never bothered him. Our volunteers found him to be very sweet and friendly, and we enjoyed hanging out with him in front of his stall as he soaked up our attention. He was very quiet and well behaved for his jog video, and displayed lovely movement, light and even with some spring to the trot. Regal Empire never lived up to his pedigree on the track — he has 16 starts, and while he has picked up a lot of checks, he has yet to win. His pedigree for sport horse disciplines is outstanding. As we said, his sire Lemon Drop Kid is a coveted sport horse sire, by Kingmambo and from the same female family as AP Indy. Regal Empire’s dam is from Officer/Relaunch, Quiet American/Fappiano, Tri Jet, and Skip Trial/Damascus lines — all stout, sound lines that have produced many horses excelling in eventing, steeplechasing, and other jumping disciplines.

R BOY BODE, 2016 15.1+h chestnut gelding

Located at Finger Lakes Race Track, Farmington, NY (near Rochester)

Bode was his trainer’s first racehorse when he started training three years ago, and he will always be a favorite near and dear to his heart — but he knows that it is now time to let his favorite horse move on to a new discipline. Bode was described to us as a very sweet boy with lots of personality who is good and straightforward to ride, sound with no vices. His trainer describes Bode as “little and fast,” with good acceleration, quick on his feet, and athletic. Sounds like he would make a perfect barrel horse! He was on the muscle for his videos, so he couldn’t really show his stuff trotting out — he hadn’t been doing anything but walking the shedrow for a couple of weeks since his owner/trainer decided it was time to move him on from racing. We watched some videos of his races, and observed a fluid quick stride with flat kneed efficient action. R Boy Bode has had a successful racing career, with 7 wins in 47 starts and earnings over $172,000. He is sired by Kantharos and his dam is by City Zip — good sprinting bloodlines. We would love to cheer R Boy Bode on in the barrel pattern at the 2024 RRP — or in any discipline you want to pursue with him.

AFTER ALPHA, 2019 15.2h bay filly

Located at Finger Lakes Race Track, Farmington, NY (near Rochester)

A barn favorite, After Alpha is reported to be a complete sweetheart, much loved by her owner and trainer. She’s easy going and sweet to handle, reported as sound, and with great feet and no vices. She can be a strong galloper on the track, and prefers a rider with soft hands. She displayed beautiful movement for her jog video, with great push from behind, and a light and lofty step that led us to think she could be a great dressage or eventing prospect for a smaller stature rider or kid working with a trainer. And her sire, Alpha, has produced some horses who are fantastic scopey and brave jumpers — our volunteers know of some succeeding at rated hunter shows and events. With her smaller build and athleticism, After Alpha is also an excellent polo prospect. After Alpha has won two of her 8 starts this year, but now that she has to face tougher competition, she’s not as successful, so her trainer knows it is best to let her find a new discipline. She is by Alpha, a sone of Bernardini from the AP Indy line. Her dam is a granddaughter of Unridled’s Song and Bernardini. The inbreeding to Bernardini is also a good sign of her potential for dressage and eventing, since he has sired many horses succeeding in those endeavors.

SMOOTH OPERATION, 2016 15.3h bay gelding

This stocky guy would smoothly fit in amongst a bunch of quarter horses. In addition to his solid build, we admired his kind eye and alert intelligent look, and his quiet demeanor. His handler attested to his great brain and quiet temperament — she described him as a classy and very well-behaved horse who’s very sound. Smooth Operation was running well for his trainer up through last year, but this year he seems to have lost his interest in racing, so the trainer decided not to push him to do it anymore. He has been hanging out and just going on the eurociser and walking machine for a couple of months. Despite this lower level of activity, he was very calm and perfectly behaved for his photo session and jog. His handler said that is always how he is — quiet and respectful and even tempered. He showed off a nice overtrack at the walk and a springy trot with good hind end engagement that had us thinking he would make a nice dressage horse or eventer, but he truly could be aimed at any new discipline you want. With his quiet temperament, you can also enjoy nice trail rides! He has 6 wins in 29 starts and $125,000 in earnings. He is by Dr Large, a son of A.P Indy. His dam has ideal sport horse lines. She is by You and I, a son of Kris S from the Roberto line. Her dam has Northern Baby close up in her pedigree — who is one of the all-time top sires of steeplechase horses, so good jumpers are in his blood for sure. His dam line also brings in the Rahy/Blushing Groom/Halo sire line. This horse has unlimited potential, and is offered for a bargain price.

BOBBY RIDE, 2020 16.1h bay gelding

Located at Finger Lakes Race Track, Farmington NY (near Rochester)

Our volunteer who does dressage was drooling over this lovely young guy’s potential for her discipline, and our show hunter volunteer was also quite taken with him. Bobby Ride was with his current trainer last year and earlier this spring and ran very well, including in a stakes race, so the owners sent him to a tougher racing circuit, where he didn’t fare as well. Bobby arrived back at Finger Lakes in late September, and the trainer had his vet give Bobby a thorough evaluation. They found a small chip in the upper joint of the right knee. The vet thought it wouldn’t cause any issues and that Bobby could keep racing. But the owners decided it was best to move him on to a new career, and the vet thinks he has no limitations. X-rays are available to review. Bobby’s handler said he is very sweet, quiet and sensible, just a very good boy who is good for everything and has no vices. On the day we saw him, Bobby had done nothing other than handwalking for over a week, yet he was cool, calm, and collected, stood quietly for his photos, and jogged politely on a loose lead. He showed beautiful movement, with loft and rhythm. He has a cute face, kind and intelligent eye, and a long legged build that will surely fill out as he grows up. Bobby is by Central Banker, a son of Speightstown. Central Banker is siring some horses who are excellent jumpers and succeeding in eventing, in jumpers and hunters. Bobby’s dam is by Shakespeare, a son of Theatrical, with Alydar and Ribot on her dam line. This is a very nice young prospect offered at a price much less than usual for a big young lovely moving gelding with a great brain and quiet temperament.

SUNSHINE GIRL, 2020 15.3h dark bay filly– owner retaind to race

Despite being almost black, this sweet girl shines brightly! Sunshine is reported to be sound and to have no vices. Her trainer reports that she has beautiful movement on the track, is very athletic, and a strong galloper who feels good about life and her job. She would therefore be best paired with a person experienced with young OTTBs who wants an athletic sport horse prospect. Her trainer feels that with her athleticism and good movement she would exceed as an eventer, jumper, or a barrel horse. She stood politely while volunteers photographed her, and she soaked up the scratches and attention. While she was a bit excited for the jog video as she has been just walking since her last race, her trainer states she really “strides out” under tack. Sunshine Girl is by Frac Daddy, a son of Scat Daddy, who has both Johannesburg and Skip Away lines that are desired for their athletic sport horse abilities. She is out of a Thunder Gulch mare, from a sire line also known for jumping ability!

BENCH WALK, 2019 16 h bay colt

This gorgeous hunk has an outstanding sport horse pedigree that should make him very enticing for a sport horse breeding program to cross with warmblood mares. He is by the great Bernardini, and his dam is by Medaglia D’Oro. His owner/trainer describes him as a “playful clown,” not a mean bone in his body, but he does have the playful nippiness that many stud colts have. The trainer demonstrated her obvious affection for Bench Walk when, to show us that he was playful and friendly, she went into his stall and started hugging him and kissing his face and playing with his lips. Bench Walk seemed to enjoy the game. The trainer reports that he is “a pleasure to ride,” well behaved on the track. She says that he has old set osselets that do not bother him at all, and that he is racing regularly and soundly. He’s had 26 starts with 2 wins and 6 additional placings. He is a stunning horse when you see him in person, with a shiny coat and a strong sloping shoulder and powerful looking hind end. He was a bit on the muscle for his jog, but respectfully listened to his handler. He showed a flowing toe flicking walk and trot. His sire Bernardini, from AP Indy and Quiet American/Fappiano lines, is deservedly very popular as a sire of dressage and eventing horses. There are several sons of Bernardini who are competing in dressage and eventing while also breeding. Will Bench Mark be the next? Bench Walk’s dam, Rosseza, is by Medaglia D’Oro who is from the Sadler’s Wells sire line, and this too is a highly sought after sport horse sire line. Rosezza’s dam Blush is a multiple graded stakes producer — so there’s certainly the type of quality in Bench Walk’s female family to warrant a breeding career for him. Blush is by Menifee out of a Rahy mare. While Bench Walk’s trainer hopes that someone who wants to keep him intact for breeding will get Bench Walk, we of course remind everyone that lovely studs make even lovelier gelding.

YOUR AWESOME BOSS, 2017 16.1+h bay gelding

We were drawn in by this beautiful gelding’s sweet expression and kind eye, and we got to see another trainer in his shedrow — who adores him — cuddle with him in his stall. She said that Boss is one of her favorite horses, and she is so eager to help him get a perfect new home that she has offered to help pay the entries for the 2024 RRP if that is what you want to aim him for next year. She, along with the contact person, both attested to how sweet Boss is — they said he especially likes women. He is reported to be a gentleman on the track that the pony riders like to handle, and he is reported to be nice to ride. He will be best suited for a kind and patient person with experience restarting OTTBs. He apparently “went through the ringer” in a previous barn, and his current trainer has been patiently restoring his trust and has brought his sweet nature and robust shiny good looks back to the fore. He has an old osselet that has been there for over three years, and that he has raced well on. He has well balanced solid bodied conformation. For his jog video, he showed very nice movement, with a light loft to his step. His sire is Street Boss, who is by Street Cry. His dam is by Awesome Again from the popular Deputy Minister sire line. His second dam is a sister to Cross Traffic, who is a sought after sport horse sire known for horses with great brains and good movement and jumping ability.

WINNING WITHHONOUR, 2010 16.3h bay gelding

This amazing, classy and handsome war horse has indeed won with honor, over and over and over again! He has an impressive 18 wins, 16 seconds, and 28 thirds in his 107 race career — and he’s still remarkably clean legged and sound enough in mind and body to keep racing if horses his age were still allowed to race at Finger Lakes. Understandably, he is very special to his owner, and she wants to find him a perfect forever home where he will be cherished for the amazing athlete that he is. The trainer described him as very mellow and easy to ride. She says he has automatic lead changes — just shift your weight, raise the hand, and he smoothly changes. The owner was hoping that her daughter would keep Winning Withhonour as a track pony horse so they could keep him in the family, but after restarting him for that hew job (which he was very good at) she realized she had too many pony horses to keep them all. Winning Withhonour has no limitations for any discipline. His trainer thinks he will be an easy restart due to his great brain, intelligence, and tractability. She thinks he could be a good horse for a kid who works with a trainer. He has the old school TB classic show or fox hunter look, and he displayed lovely flowing balanced movement as he jogged quietly for his trainer. We think you could probably take him to a hunter pace or hound jogging right away! He has good feet and is currently barefoot behind; his trainer recommends that he remain in front shoes. Winning Withhonour is by Lunarpal, who’s by Successful Appeal out of a Quiet American mare. His dam is by Bag, who’s a son of Devil’s Bag (Halo line).

We know there are a lot of fans of the wise old durable war horses out there, and this one is truly special. Potential new homes will be carefully vetted.

BROADWAY BANKER, 2020 16.1h chestnut gelding

Located at his owner’s farm near Saratoga.

This very flashy young son of Central Banker has let his track people know, after 6 races without hitting the board, that racing is not his preferred game — but that can be your gain for any new sport horse discipline. The trainer and groom both said that Broadway Banker is very sensible and good to handle with no vices. We visited with Broadway Banker in front of his stall while his trainer went to find his groom to bring him out for us, and he was very friendly and appreciative of the horse cookies we offered. While he was on the muscle for his jog video, since he had only been walking since his recent race, we could see good push from behind and light movement up front. We see great potential in this young horse for a new sport horse career — let him finish growing up, and give him time to fill out, and he will be stunning! He has very good lines for a sport horse career. His sire Central Banker is by the great Speightstown (Gone West) out of a Go For Gin mare, and in keeping with those bloodlines Central Banker has quickly become a sought-after sire for sport horse prospects. Broadway Banker’s dam Dancin on Broadway is by Menifee out of a Skip Trial mare. A few years ago, we placed another of this dam’s offspring, Forever Utopia, who proved to be a great eventer and dressage horse.

WINTER SIREN, 2019 16h liver chestnut filly

Calling all fans of Frost Giant offspring — this lovely filly is sending you the siren song! Frost Giant offspring are coveted by people who do sport horse disciplines, especially eventing, for their athleticism, great brains, and jumping ability — and Winter Siren is surely going to be the next Frost Giant baby to excel as a sport horse. Winter Siren was described to us as a horse who will gallop all day, and will most likely eat up the cross-country course. The contact person, who has been her groom, says she is well behaved and good to handle with no vices. She brushes her in her stall without even tying her up. Winter Siren is clean legged and reported to us as sound. Last year she was racing very successfully, garnering three wins and two seconds. She then spent the winter turned out in a group on a farm, and since coming back to the track this year she has let her connections know that she no longer enjoys the racing life. This year, her racing record is 11 starts without hitting the board. In our experience, this shows she is a durable, and a very smart mare, who has decided that she wants a new lifestyle that includes turnout and galloping without the stress of racing. Winter Siren was very polite and well behaved for her video, showing a balanced and even trot. In addition to being sired by Frost Giant, a son of Giant’s Causeway, her pedigree is also great on her dam side for sport disciplines such as eventing. Her dam is by Theatrical, a champion on turf by Nureyev (Northern Dancer). And her female family traces in direct line to the dam of the great Cigar — her fourth dam, a Seattle Slew daughter, also produced this immortal racing superstar.

ROZ, 2019 16h dark bay filly

The lovely Roz is beautiful and elegant, and her owner and trainer report that “she is an angel to be around,” and “sound as a brass bell.” They also attest that she is very nice to ride, a favorite of the exercise riders. We were drawn in by her kind eye and intelligent expression. We chatted with Roz’s owner as he bathed her in the wash stall, and she was certainly well behaved for her bath. Roz has the uphill build and strong shoulder that should translate well for sport horse disciplines — and her pedigree is outstanding as a sport horse prospect. She is sired by Fed Biz, who is a son of Giant’s Causeway out of a Wild Again mare. Roz’s dam, Naples Rose, is by Bernardini and out of a Distorted Humor mare. Roz ended the 2022 racing season with 2 wins in a row, and she has hit the board in half of her 17 starts. But this year, she just doesn’t seem to have the same interest in running, and she’s yet to crack the top three in five starts. So her owner and trainer realize it is time to let her move on to a new discipline that she enjoys more. She has unlimited potential for any discipline. For her jog video she jogged quietly and politely on a loose lead and displayed nice, even, balanced and smooth looking movement. We can see why exercise riders love to ride her!

A barn favorite that is reported to be as kind as she is beautiful, there seems to be nothing risky about Shane’s Risk! This dappled beauty is reported to be sound and vice free. She is also reported to be the sweetest in the barn. She was very inquisitive as our volunteers pet her and didn’t seem to mind strangers fawning all over her.

Shane is by Outwork who is by Uncle Mo and Indian Charlie, and out of an Empire Maker mare. She is out of a More Than Ready mare.

JUDGE CARR, 2010 16.1H, chestnut gelding

If you’re looking for your very own OTTB that has a few post track miles on him, look no further than Judge Carr! This in your pocket, sweet boy has been a pony horse for his current own for the last two years! This guy’s connections could not say enough good things about his sweet, overly friendly personality and comfortable gaits! She said on the track, both his trot and canter are super smooth but that he can be “lazy” in an arena. He does great in turn out. Judge Carr’s connections believe that he is no longer happiest ponying and she would love to see him go be a show pony! He does have slight rounding on his ankles but is reported to be ponying soundly. It is reported that his only vice is that he does not prefer to be in his stall while it is being cleaned. This guy’s trainer really, truly loves this horse and wants him to find “his person” to spoil and love on him. Because of her commitment to this, she is willing to trailer him offsite to a farm in Canandaigua where prospective buyers can actually try him out! It isn’t often to have that opportunity with horses at the track! Judge Carr is by Mizzen Mast, a highly desireable sport horse stallion, known for their Dressage and Jumping abilities, along with their level headed demeanors. He is out of an All Gone Mare, who is from the Fappiano and Buckpasser lines. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to try before you buy with a very sweet, smart guy!

THE GRAND CANAL, 2016 16.2h bay gelding

Are you looking for a beautiful, flashy, big, sport horse prospect? Then The Grand Canal is your horse! With a droolworthy sport horse pedigree, well balanced conformation, lovely movement, and a quiet temperament, he’s the whole package. His handler/contact person says she thinks he would make a wonderful show hunter for an amateur working with a trainer. But his pedigree shouts eventing or dressage as well. She reports that he is sound with no vices, quiet and very good to work with. While he was running well last year, he is showing less interest this year, and the owner does not want to overwinter him to try racing again next year. He joggged very politely for his video, showing a big overstep at the walk and a flowing balanced trot. His sire is Bullet Train, who is a full brother to the great Frankel — both are by Sadler’s Wells out of a Danehill mare. Bullet Train has quickly become a highly sought after sport horse sire. The Grand Canal’s dam is closely related to Pioneer of the Nile — another coveted sport horse sire. She is by Empire Maker, who is the sire of Pioneer of the Nile, and her third dam is Pioneer of the Nile’s dam.
