When you ask a horse’s connections to describe their horse and they cannot come up with enough ways to say that he is perfect, you know you have a good one, and Production Credit is just that horse! He is a horse of many names, Pro Pro, PC, Pro, Houdini (there’s a joke here), and more, but by any name, this guy is a barn favorite, and we can see why. He is very sweet and cuddly in his stall, and is reported to have no vices. He’s very easy to have on the farm, turns out well, and is low man in the herd. However, if you leave one of his snaps accidentally undone on his webbings, he may just sneak out for a midday walk. But don’t worry, this kiddo is such a good boy, even the trainer’s grandkids could bring him back.

Pro is reported to be sound with no previous injuries. No surprise, he’s reported to be very good to ride, all business, and very straightforward. One of our volunteers has followed his entire race career and can confirm that this guy knows his job and is very well behaved on the track and in the paddock. He stood absolutely foot perfect for his photo shoot, basking in the compliments and pats from our volunteers. He was definitely feeling the oppressive heat of the day for his video but still demonstrated his natural lift and suspension, as well as pointy toes.

Production Credit is another by the favorite sire, Central Banker, known for these level headed babies, and is out of an E Dubai mare, another known for one with very amateur friendly offspring. While he may be a bit on the smaller size, don’t let that concern you- he’s as wide as he is tall, and will surely take up a lot of leg. This perfect angel is sure to be a hit in any arena, and the best friend of whomever is lucky enough to get him home!

Mortgage Rate is a tall, hunk of a horse that is ready to be your next big eventer! This big boy is as sweet as he is easy on the eyes. He’s reported to have no vices and easy to work around in the barn. He’s pretty laid back on the farm. Under saddle he’s pretty strong, and because of this, his size, and age, his connections feel he would be best with an experienced rider.

Mortgage Rate is reported to be sound and to have no previous injuries. He has poultice on his legs as he was ready to race the next day. After a successful year last year, with 4 wins, he just isn’t showing any interest in racing. He posed like a champion for his photo shoot, and didn’t even mind while his trainer’s daughters moved legs and head (and teased each other) to be sure he was set up just right. For his video, he demonstrated a natural over track at the walk. He showed off a flat-kneed, toe-pointy jog, despite feeling lazy from the heat.

Mortgage Rate is by the highly desired NY sire, Central Banker, known for offspring that have fantastic brains and beautiful movement. He is out of a Violence mare, who is also known for level-headed babies. Mortgage Rate is the whole package and we can see him succeeding in just about any arena!

Attention grey lovers- In the Blue is not only a coveted grey, but also sweet, levelheaded, and an all-around easy-going guy! His handler ponies him for his races and she reported that he is very good to pony, easy, and knows his job. He is reported to have no vices in his stall and easy to work around, though at the track, he can sometimes offer a grumpy face. He is all bark though, and no bite. He is straightforward to ride and doesn’t offer any funny business. He is reported to be sound with no previous injuries.

He posed perfectly for his photo shoot, allowing our volunteers to admire his dashing good looks. For his jog video he allowed his handler to adjust his jog from a bit quick to slightly slower to show off his stride. He was a perfect gentleman, doing exactly as asked. He is by the popular sire Into Mischief, who’s offspring are known for their jumping ability and athleticism. He is out of a Lookin at Lucky mare, who is of Smart Strike lines, known for their great brains and trainability! All in all, Blue is the whole package and we could see him excelling in just about any arena!

Dr Blarney is the very essence of racing royalty, earning over $780,000 in his distinguished career, but it’s time for this king to find his next career! This huge hunk of a horse is very kind and reasonable. He is reported to have no vices in the stall and is wonderful at home on the farm. During his downtime he even lives outside 24/7.

He is reported to be sound with no previous injuries. He is all business under saddle, and because of this, his connections had hoped to make him a pony horse to keep him around, but unfortunately, he doesn’t love leading other horses. Despite his distaste for ponying, he is a straightforward ride with no funny business.

Dr Blarney enjoyed his photo session, getting the attention he deserves. Our volunteers admired his strong shoulder and gorgeous neck. Our photos cannot show off the very large presence this guy has! For his jog video, he was uncharacteristically hot-to-trot, and ready to show off his moves- and what moves they were! His jog just floated over the pavement, and this is all while he is barefoot behind!

Dr Blarney is by Dublin, a highly sought-after sire for his athletic and trainable offspring. He is out of a Capote mare. No surprise that this king also totes royal blood! Dr Blarney is extremely well-loved, and his connections will be very picky where he is placed. Please bring references. But they are also willing to get creative to get him into the most perfect home.

If an absolutely adorable, young, unraced blank slate is what you are looking for, then Stonecoldbrockley is just the guy for you! There is nothing “stone cold” about this sweet guy who ate up the attention from his handler and our volunteers. He was very sweet in his stall and on the ground and is reported to have no vices. And as it turns out, he doesn’t love life at the track and gets even sweeter on the farm. While small now, he is only 2 and will likely grow a bit. But what nice proportions for a 2 year old!

Crooked is this sweet boy’s nickname and it comes from a malformed front leg. While he has been reported sound, this combined with a bad case of the slows, has lead his connections to make the decision to allow him to find a more suitable career. Crooked has not raced and has no published works, so he truly is ready to go in any direction!

Crooked demonstrated his lack of forward as it took his handler dragging him and our volunteers clapping at him to get him to jog. Once he did, he politely trotted next to his handler, and showed off a flat-kneed, toe-pointing trot. Crooked is y Bustin Stones, known for smart offspring that are often amateur friendly. He is out of a J P’s Gusto mare. Crooked may not appear perfect on paper, but let him be the perfect pony for you!

Tall, dark, and handsome, Her Sugar Baby sure is a dreamy option! Sugar had just stepped off of a near 10-hour trailer ride before his photo shoot, but that didn’t stop this big 3 year old from standing like a perfect gentleman! While his current connection doesn’t know a ton about him, she could tell us without a doubt that he is perfect to load and unload from the trailer, has no vices, and has a larger than life personality. His current connection brought him from a trusted trainer in Saratoga, who’s always been known for her quality, well behaved horses. Sugar is certainly no exception!

This growing boy needs some groceries, but is happily taking on the challenge, as he does love his grain. He is easy to work around in the barn and will beg for attention. While his connection was telling us about him, he offered smooches and took the racing program right from her hands, discarding it on the ground, so that he could have everyone’s full attention.

Sugar was a bit up for his jog video as he is currently only walking and eating, but he remained respectful of his handler, demonstrated natural suspension, and a toe-pointing, flat-kneed jog. Sugar is by Maclean’s Music, who is by Distorted Humor, known for their offspring with excellent movement and brains. He is out of a Malibu Moon mare, who he surely gets his fun personality from! This young, large, lightly raced guy checks all the boxes! Be sure not to miss Her Sugar Baby!

Never has a horse been more the opposite of her name than the truly angelic Devilly! Her connections, who have had her since she was 2, report that she is absolutely perfect to handle and work around, with no known vices. She loves attention, grooming in her stall, and peppermints. She is great in turnout and has been with groups of other horses.

Devilly is typically very laid back to handle and ride. Her owner/handler, who is a self-proclaimed chicken when it comes to riding the racehorses, has ridden Devilly herself, and reports that she is a very good girl who never does anything naughty. She was uncharacteristically up for her jog video, definitely responding to the barn energy going on behind her, but still showed off her natural suspension and what one volunteer deemed “cat-like grace”. Devilly was a volunteer favorite when we took a listing at the end of last meet, and that sure hasn’t changed this year!

Devilly is by Noble Mission, son of the great Galileo, with offspring known for their jumping talent and level heads. She is out of an Indian Charlie mare, whose offspring are coveted for their amateur-friendly brains and trainability. Devilly would look great in any arena- don’t let this angel pass. You by!

Ixodes stunned our volunteers with her unique coloring and delicate build immediately upon exiting the barn! While technically a dark bay, she has hints of red throughout. This petite lady may seem grumpy in her stall but cheers up the second she comes out. While offering some “mare stare”, she still never does anything naughty in her stall, and is reported to be vice free. And like any true lady, telling her she’s pretty also changes her attitude!

Ixodes had just raced less than a week before we photographed her, had only been walking since, and then the entire barn started grumbling for their lunch, so she was understandably distracted for her photo session. Still show showed off her big shoulder and lovely neck attachment. She enjoyed the attention of the scratches from the volunteers. She is reported good to ride, with no funny business, and despite the ruckus going on around her, she was able to demonstrate her natural over track at the walk, and her floaty, toe-pointing trot.

Ixodes is by War Dancer, son of War Front, known for the their jumping ability and out of a Skip Away mare. Don’t let this unique, pretty girl pass you by!

If sweet, cute, and bay are your check boxes, then look no further than Sheer Finance! This young gentleman is a very sweet and in your pocket type of guy. He is reported to be easy to work around in the barn with no known vices. He is very good in turnout and even easier around the farm than at the track. He is reported to be sound with no previous injuries, just far too slow to be a racehorse. He is unraced, but does have one published work, making him eligible for the RRP Thoroughbred Makeover!

Sheer Finance is reported to be good to ride, very levelheaded, with no funny business. He proved this as cars went by while we were doing his photo shoot. While all the horses in the barn were amped up because of lunch time and an incoming storm, this guy stood perfectly to be photographed. While he needed some help posing, he didn’t mind his handler picking his legs up to put them exactly where the humans wanted them.

While Sheer Finance was a bit tender on a missing front shoe, he still demonstrated his level head and good manners, standing perfectly while his handler responded to an urgent message. Our volunteers could see the potential with a flat kneed trot and some natural suspension. Sheer Finance is by favorite NY stallion, Central Banker, known for offspring with very good brains, trainability, and movement, and is out of a mare by the coveted Frost Giant, known for throwing athleticism and movement. This blank slate of a typical bay gelding will fit in perfectly with just about any job!

We didn’t even have to do a write up on this gallant war horse, since one of our volunteers fell inlove and brought him home!

Tall, dark, and handsome? Check, check, check. Mudville Nine will check all those boxes and more. This very sweet guy is reported to be very easy to work around and a pleasure to have in the barn. The only not so perfect barn mannerism is that he gives nasty faces when he has his grain. His connections believe that this may be because he was so low in the pecking order while being turned out over the winter.

Mudville Nine is just as straight forward to ride as he is on the ground. Never offers a buck, rear, or bolt. He is just a sweet boy that likes to get down to business. He did come back from his last race a bit sore in his knee. Rads were taken and there are chips and arthritis started in the upper joint. These are available to serious parties. Because of this, Mudville is best suited to low level pursuits.

Despite the jewelry in Mudville’s knee and being currently barefoot behind, he demonstrated a natural suspension at the jog and natural over track at the walk. Mudville Nine is by Hard Spun, who is sought after for athletic ability and is out of an Elusive Quality Mare, sought after for trainability and their good brains. Here’s your chance

This “big ham” loves people and his trainer invited us to step into his stall and love on him because “you can do whatever you want” and he’ll just eat it up. We found this boy to be super cute and a very friendly snuggler. He definitely was more interested in engaging and interacting with all the people instead of posing for his photos! We were informed that he’s great in his stall, without any vices. His trainer tells us that he is very sound and a happy, well-adjusted horse. His only fault is his lackluster race record- in 13 starts, he has yet to be on the boards (but we think he’d much rather be a pampered show pony!) We liked his thick, sturdy, compact build and solid bone. He displayed cute movement and seemed happy to show off a little bit for our small group. His trainer told us that he has even thrown a western saddle on him, hopped aboard, and taken an impromptu trail ride around the backside! He thought that with a little time and training that this friendly, personable boy could even morph into the “biggest kid’s horse in the world”. Robin’s Giant has a nice pedigree for sport horses too- he’s by Giant Surprise, a Giant’s Causeway son with AP Indy and Twist Afleet also on his sire’s side and out a Colonel John mare with Tiznow, Storm Cat and Hoist the Flag appearing on his dam side. If you are looking for an ammy-friendly, happy-go-lucky, fun, curious, friendly, and versatile boy who is a game and willing partner for whatever you might want to try, this might be your perfect boy!

Like a good leader, Leadership Ability exudes a quiet, patient confidence. And why shouldn’t she? This dark, gorgeous filly by Laoban has previously sold at auction for $175K. So she should know she’s good! And she is perfectly lovely, cute, athletic, and refined. We loved her kind eye and pretty, very feminine face. She has a great build with a nice long shoulder and correct proportions. She looks solid and powerful. We were told that she is sound without any vices. We observed a classy, super sweet, and sensible girl during our photo shoot. Even though it was chilly and windy, she calmly stood as we admired her and got her history. She jogged politely and displayed a pretty, springy, lofty, toe-pointing trot giving the feel of a light, airy uphill front end. We liked her balance. This pretty girl is a clean slate without any limitations and we could see her having the ability to excel in a variety of disciplines. She is a nicely bred girl- by Laoban, out of a Best Reward mare. Leadership Ability broke her maiden at Saratoga and has had a respectable race record with three wins to her credit. She has an entry at Finger Lakes on 11/27 if you’d like to watch her run before you take her home!

This gorgeous dappled hunk has to be seen to be fully appreciated — he is even more stunning in person than in his photos! His trainer couldn’t say enough great things about him. He’s so great about everything, she said: an all-around very good boy who is great to ride, great to load and trailer, great to handle, no vices, a pleasure to have in the barn. Hyper Speed started his racing career at the top tracks such as Belmont, Oaklawn, and Keeneland. He’s had a couple of wins at Finger Lakes, and three in the money finishes this year. His trainer says she wants to find him a great new home and career while he is still young and in great shape with unlimited potential to do anything. In addition to his gorgeous looks and his good boy temperament, Hyper Speed is also a beautiful mover. His trot that he displayed in his jog video is light and flowing. He should be a great prospect for any ring — the hunter ring, the dressage arena eventing. HIs trainer reports that he’s sound, but noted some slight old ankle rounding that hasn’t interfered with his racing efforts at all. Hyper Speed is sired by Tapwrit, a son of Tapit — but he hasn’t inherited any of the tough Tapit spice. Tapwrit’s dam comes from the Valid Appeal/In Reality sire line. Hyper Speed’s dam is by War Front, a son of Danzig. She also has Fappiano and Hoist the Flag — stout sport horse lines — in her pedigree. Don’t pass this exceptional horse by!

Her trainer reports that this ladylike mare is “a great filly” and we thoroughly agree with this assessment. Her handlers were not aware of any vices or injuries; she’s described as just a nice, well-handled, and polite mare in every way. Her pony rider tells us that she is very good in the afternoon and we’re inclined to extend this to her being good all the time! Princess Sonya certainly behaved like royalty for her photo shoot- she was polite, dignified, and agreeable. No stereo-typical chestnut mare attitude here, this regal girl stood and posed patiently even though she was brought out into the damp, chilly, windy day from the comfort of her blanket and nice, warm stall. We loved her pretty and feminine face, long shoulder, and well—balanced build and proportions. She jogged quietly for her handler, displaying cute and relaxed movement, with low, toe-pointing action. This athletic mare was no slouch as a racehorse either, in her 17 starts she has a respectable 3-3-1 record with $70K in earnings. Princess Sonya is nicely bred; selling as a $55K yearling, she is by Effinex, a son of Mineshaft, and out of a Distorted Humor mare with Danzig and Hoist the Flag also on her distaff side. We think this lovely princess, who could be aimed towards hunters or dressage / eventing is also the perfect age to transition into being the queen of your barn and heart. And she’s priced to sell; a bargain for such a big, athletic, young, well-mannered mare.

Comfortable Cat has been a good consistent successful racehorse, accumulating 8 wins, 26 top three finishes, and earnings of $173,000 in her career. And her trainer says she is still as sound as they come, and she is lovely light mover! Surely this girl deserves a great new home, where she will give her new person as much as she has given to her racing connections over the years. Those of you who overlook her just because she’s not huge and not a silly youngster will come to regret it. Her trainer kept saying “this is one nice little mare!” as he extolled how good she is to handle, what a big heart she has, how she “does everything right” — loads easily, stands politely for the farrier, is good to ride and does whatever her rider asks. We admired her pretty head, alert kind eye, clean legs, and balanced compact build. For her video she displayed a big swinging walk and a lovely light and even toe flicking trot. As we watched her trot we were hardly surprised that she is a light and efficient mover, because horses who have been this durable and sound over a multi-year racing career are usually very good and efficient movers. She has an exceptional pedigree for jumping aptitude. Her sire Discreet Cat has sired several horses that we have placed over the years, and they all turned out to be exceptional jumpers. Her dam is by Dixie Union, who is by Dixieland Band, and is out of a Seattle Slew mare. With her racing success and her pedigree, Comfortable Cat is also a good candidate for a broodmare career, either for racing or for sport horses. Please open your heart to this beautiful deserving mare!

This kind wise soul has been a well traveled, successful hard knocking race horse who is so deserving of a great new home. He has 8 wins in his career with over $219,000 in earnings, and has raced all over the country — NY, California, Texas, Pennsylvania. This year his racing performance has tailed off, and he is telling his connections it is time to let him move on to a new career. He came to his current trainer earlier this fall, and she reports that throughout his successful career he has never had any injuries, that he is a good boy who is easy to handle, good for farrier, good to load, — good for everything she says! She gallops her own horses and she also praised Horn of Plenty as very good to ride, easy to gallop, a professional who does just what you want. She says that in his many travels for his racing career he hasn’t had a real break to just enjoy being a horse, and that he would benefit from, and greatly appreciate the opportunity to enjoy turnout and let down time. And then he will show you his big heart and hard trying durability for whatever new direction you want to take him in. He has sold bone, clean legs, a very kind eye, and a kind temperament. For his video he walked and jogged politely, showing a nice swinging walk and an even light trot with a nice hint of spring. Horn of Plenty is sired by Emcee, a son of Unbridled’s Song. Over the past several years we have placed several Emcee offspring who are now doing well in new careers ranging from eventing to dressage to pleasure riding. Horn of Plenty’s dam is by Lemon Drop Kid, a sire who has produced many successful eventing horses, jumpers, and hunters. Wouldn’t you like to be the person who takes Horn of Plenty on the next chapter of success in his new career?

If a big, flashy, kind, sound, quiet, a friendly in our pocket type, very good moving gelding with great sport horse potential available at an enticing “end of the racing season” price is what you are looking for then Seatiger is the horse for you! Seatiger was very well behaved for his photo session on a cold blustery day that had many other horses doing twirlies in the wind… But not this sensible guy. He just went out into the cold wind gusts and stood politely to let us take his photos, and then oh so quietly walked and jogged, displaying a very good movement. His trainer reports that Seatiger is very friendly, likes his peppermints, is easy to handle and work around, has no vices, and has always been very sound the entire time he has had him. We certainly got to experience the quiet friendly aspect of Seatiger’s personality, as he just wanted to get into our volunteer’s pocket looking for treats and loved the pets and attention he got. Seatiger has an uphill build and great strong shoulder that suggests jumping ability. While Seatiger has two wins and 8 additional in the money finishes in his 27 races, this year he has yet to find the winner’s circle, so his trainer realizes that his best career is something other than racing. But he has unlimited potential for any new disciple you want to do. Since Seatiger was very laid back for his jog video, we also watched some videos of his winning races, and we observed a lovely fluid gallop back to the winner’s circle — an efficiency of very good movement that should excel in a sport horse career. Seatiger is sired by Central Banker, a son of the great Speightstown who is quickly becoming well known for great brained very friendly athletic horses with excellent aptitude for jumping/eventing/dressage. Everyone we know who had a Central Banker offspring wants more! Seatiger’s dam is by Alydeed, and she is the dam of two other horses we previously listed on FLF who are doing well in new careers, one as a trail and pleasure horses and the other in jumping.

This flashy young filly with lots of chrome is described by her trainer as a good girl who is easy to handle, sound, good in her stall, with no vices, but just not proving to be fast enough to continue on with her in racing. She broke her maiden earlier this year, and since that lone win she has found the tougher racing conditions against other winners more challenging. Miami Chrome was very well behaved for her photo session on a cold windy day that had many other horses we saw acting up in the cold wind gusts — but not this lovely girl. For her jog video she displayed higher kneed movement and a strong hind end engagement that should transfer will to dressage and related disciplines. Given her smaller stature, build, and good push from behind we could also see her excelling as a barrel racer or in polo. She is sired by Disco Partner, and was his first winner! Disco Partner was a top turf sprinter who won over a million on the track racing against the best of the best. We think he has transferred his heart and try and athleticism on to his lovely daughter. Disco Partner is from the desirable Dixieland Band sire line. Miami Twofer’s dam is by Archarcharch from the very desirable ammy friendly sport horse sire line of Arch, and with the Saint Ballado/Halo sire lines on her dam side. This pedigree suggests a good work ethic, athleticism, and durability. Miami Twofer can go in any direction you want — she has no limitations for a new career.

This super sweet and lovely moving gelding is affectionately known as Gordo, and he has been a barn favorite because of his kind and willing personality. Gordo is unraced, because his breeder started him late, and he did not come to the track until last fall. He was working well this summer, showing some talent in his published workouts, but in August he came up with a slight tendon tear. We were told that the vet said he could be ridden as a pony horse without any time off, and could race with some time off. But because he was already 5 and unraced, his connections decided it was best to give Gordo some time and then let him find a new career, where he has no limitations. His track trainer reports that he was never lame on the very slight tendon injury — and you an see that in the videos that were taken at the track after the injury was diagnosed. He is a lovely mover with a big flowing trot with nice reach from the shoulders that could do well in the hunter ring, or in dressage or eventing. Gordo’s track trainer says he is a kind and humble horse who is a sweet people lover. The trainer’s young teenage son handled him easily in the videos, as you can see. They think Gordo could easily become a kid’s horse or work in a lesson program once he has had a retraining foundation. Gordo has been at his owner’s farm enjoying turnout and he is now fully healed and ready to find a job and his own people who will love him as much as his track connections do. Because he has published workouts this summer, Gordo is fully eligible for the 2025 RRP. Gordo is sired by Master James, a son of Bertrando from the Relaunch/In Reality sire line which is well known as a great sport horse sire line. His dam is from Hennessy and Devil HIs Due/Halo sire lines, also known for good brains, durability, and jumping aptitude.

If you’re looking for a safe bet on a fantastic prospect, then Gambling Man is the one for you! “Kenny” is known as the joker in the barn and is loaded with personality. His favorite pastime is playing with his water. He is reported to have no vices and to be a pleasure to have in the barn. Kenny certainly showed our volunteers some of his adorable personality, offering smooches to his nose when we were estimating his height.

Kenny is reported to be sound with no previous injuries. While Kenny is still competitive, he prefers the surface at Presque Isle than Finger Lakes and transporting him back and forth is tough for his connections, so they feel it is better to let him go on to a new career. Kenny was a bit playful coming right off the walker but settled immediately. He showed off a natural over track with good swing through at the walk. His connections told us that Kenny has a jog “to die for”, and he certainly didn’t disappoint. Kenny displayed a naturally uphill, lofty jog that is sure to get you great scores in dressage.

Kenny is by the highly desireable Seville, known for producing offspring that excel in Eventing. On the bottom he has Valley Crossing, His Majesty, and Piccolino. Kenny will come with a strong no racing/auction contract. Don’t let this tall, dark, and handsome guy pass you by!

This “cool dude” has only been with his current connections for only a few months, but they told us that he has been very enjoyable to be around and that he “is the perfect horse to train” because he “makes it easy”. He’s described as being very mature for his age (only five!) and that he has an “old soul”. We observed a perfect gentleman who was quiet, polite, curious, and sensible. His trainer told us that he is good in his stall without any vices, clean-legged, and sound, without any issues. American Day has an extremely kind, intelligent, and gorgeous face. We felt his legs and found them to be clean, cold and tight. He’s campaigned hard this past year, so his trainer thinks that he will be gorgeous once he gets a chance to have a little downtime to fill out. And we totally agree! American Day is described as being more of a turf horse and “not a dirt guy”. He’s described by his trainer (who gallops his own horses) as being a nicely forward to ride with tons of stamina. Sounds like a potential cross-country machine to us! During his video, we saw a relaxed, swinging walk and he jogged along on a looser lead with reach and push from behind. Although he’s had a respectable race resume, he has yet to score his first win so his connections feel that it is now time to move him along on to his second career. We think, given his endurance, this turf-loving boy could have a bright and happy future as an eventer or perhaps a field hunter. American Day is by New Year’s Day and out of a Dixie Union mare (with Dixie Union on his sire’s side as well).

Price: $3,000.

If you’re looking for a big, solid, ham of a horse, then look no farther than Ginnsu Warrior! Ginnsu’s connections describe as “perfect in every way”. Ginnsu is reported to have no vices, easy to work around, and just an all-around pleasure in the barn. He stood perfectly, posing happily for his photo shoot, despite being breezy with a recent drop in temps.

While he can be a bit “tough” at the track, he comes back beautifully at the farm and is a low man in turnout. Under saddle Ginnsu can be a bit strong while at the track but offers no funny business. While Ginnsu isn’t super tall, he is definitely wide and will likely take up even the tallest rider’s leg. He showed off a huge natural over track with lovely swing at the walk, and a polite, quiet jog with good push from behind.

Ginnsu Warrior is by First Samurai, who is by the coveted Giant’s Causeway, know for throwing babies with jumping ability and gorgeous movement. His Dam is by Candy Ride with Indian Charlie on the bottom, suggesting this tank of a horse will be very trainable with an amateur friendly personality. If big, thick, and red is on your list, then Ginnsu Warrior is the one for you!

If you are looking for a young horse with exceptional potential for jumping disciplines, then you should give serious consideration to this handsome guy. Since he is only three, he is likely to grow a bit more. His dam is a sister to the horse who won the show hunter division at the 2023 RRP, and placed very high in the jumpers as well, displaying a beautiful scopey jump. The jumping genes are certainly there for Bold Force! With his pretty elegant head, compact build, strong sloping shoulder, quiet temperament, and very nice movement, we think he could fit right into the show hunter ring, but he also has unlimited potential for any discipline. Bold Force’s handler described him as a good boy, nice to handle, with no vices. His trainer said he is sound and hasn’t had any issues — he just isn’t racing well in tougher competition since he broke his maiden, so it is time to let him find a new career. He has 11 career races, with one win, but no wins this year. Bold Force was very friendly for his photo shoot, nuzzling our volunteer in the hope that her camera might be a treat for him! He jogged politely on a loose lead, with a nice swinging walk and an even balanced trot with good hind end engagement and nice flat kneed reach from the shoulders. He is sired by Hard Spun, who is a son of Danzig. His dam is by Scat Daddy out of a Meadowlake mare who not only produced the RRP winner, but also produced some graded stakes winners. We would love to see him in the RRP next year to find out if he can emulate the success of his close relative! This is a quality young gelding offered at a bargain price!

Price: $2000 negotiable

We are happy to report that Polly is now enjoyng turnout and down time on a farm approximately 15 minutes away from the Finger Lakes Race Track. This farm downtime will ideally set her up for transitioning to retraining for a new career. When she was still at the track we visited this very pretty baby with the lovely deep rich copper coat shortly after her morning training gallop. We found her to be super cute and were quite surprised to discover that she was only two years old- she’s very solid and with nicely balanced proportions and a lovely, long neck. She’s not yet fully registered with the Jockey CLub — equineline states that her registration is pending under the name Notapoliticalparty. Polly was a tiny as a yearling so her connections gave her additional time, holding off race training until she had a little time to grow into herself. They feel that she is also currently having a growth spurt and expect her to finish around 15.3-16.0h. She walked out and stood quietly; she even did a “down dog” yoga pose to stretch. When we chuckled at that, we were told that she regularly does yoga-like stretches in her stall in addition to making lots of funny faces. She was described to us a tad opinionated (who doesn’t appreciate a girl who knows exactly what she wants?) but also super bubbly and happy, and a complete ham. Although she’s still very green- a baby racehorse, she’s said to be very good to ride, fun and forward, a quick learner who will already jog on the buckle and round up. Since coming to the track, she has started to crib, her connections suspect that this will diminish if she has ample turnout. When she was at the farm, she was very good during turnout in a mixed herd of mares and geldings. During her jog video, we observed very pretty, fluid movement. This lovely girl is a stablemate of Billieve in Josh. Her owner / trainer is transitioning out of racing and although this filly would probably perform well as a racehorse, she told us that she has declined race home offers for her as she prefers a non-racing home for this special homebred. As an added bonus: she is happy to supply plenty of baby pictures of this lovely filly to her new person. Because this filly is so young and has more limited life- experiences, her connections feel that she may require a more experienced / advanced owner who can bring along very young horses. Polly is by Jack Milton, who is a son of War Front. Her dam is Time for A Party by Desert Party. Desert Party lines are terrific for jumping. She’s a blank slate that you can easily turn out for a bit to finish growing but that already has some very basic training to make it easy for when you are ready to start her again.

We love a good Cinderella story, so we have been following this horse for a while. Billieve in Josh is named after the Buffalo Bill’s Josh Allen and because of this, he’s already generated a bit of local buzz during his career. Especially after he won his maiden race as a 30-1 longshot, surprising most everyone (except his trainer who always believed in him). It’s appropriate that this horse is named after a football player because Josh is certainly a big, handsome, tank of horse- all those things: thick, solid, massive, tall, strong, powerful. And, he has the huge presence and personality to match. We were told that Josh is sound but informed that he has been treated for EPM. He doesn’t have any stable vices (other than being addicted to having a stall full of toys and stuffed animals) and loves to make funny, goofy faces. He’s a great shipper and easy to work around. He is a cool dude on the farm where he is turned out in a mixed herd and gets along great with all the other horses. And Josh is now enjoying the turn out life on a farm near the track… which amkes him all the more attractive for restarting for a new career sincehe is aready getting the let down time that is so helpful to racehorses. Billieve in Josh is by Bal A Bali and out of a Sea the Stars mare and built more like an old-style Thoroughbred. His owner / trainer tells us that his massive size is like “sitting on a grizzly bear” and that he is a super comfy horse to ride. Our pictures don’t truly show how deep and wide he is! His trainer says that he loves to gallop, has a huge stride, and that you can “wind him up and let go, he’ll just keep going and going”. He’s used to being the big cheese in the barn; he pretty much “knows that he’s perfect” and is used to being the center of attention. With his build and demeanor, a smart, super-confident horse like Josh might be quite brave and excel as a foxhunter, eventer, or jumper. During his jog video we observed athletic movement- a nice walk over-step and a springy, animated jog. Because his handler is struggling with her own foot injury, and he was a bit fresh as she brought him out, and she was unable to move as quickly as she normally could, she put a lip chain on Josh for safety reasons on this brisk, chilly day.

Josh’s trainer has made a major life decision to exit racing. Josh has been her first successful race horse at the allowance level- the one that ‘has made it easy as he’s always done everything right’ which helped her realize her some of her dreams and professional goals. But now she feels Josh is telling her that he isn’t enjoying the track life and doesn’t want to race anymore. She doesn’t want to lose control of his destiny after he has been so good to her; and thus knows that it is time to help him to find his forever home. This young, athletic horse loves having a job, so he’s sure to shine in his new sport. We are hoping that one of our own “Bills Mafia” will be his perfect match! We agree with his trainer that he has a bright future off the track. Now, if only we could be as confident about our Bills Superbowl chances this year…

Wow what a handsome hunk of horse. Victory Built’s owner/trainer adores him and describes her beautiful boy as a very kind horse, with loads of personality. She claimed him at the end of the 2023 racing season because she had admired his personality and beauty and his excellent racing history. After bringing him back to the races this year, she noticed that his heart didn’t seem in it anymore and he wasn’t going to return to the racing successes of his past that had him winning at the top level NYRA circuit and racking up a 50% top three record in 50 starts with over $250,000 in earnings. His 2024 race makes him fully eligible for the 2025 or 26 RRP. She recently gelded Victory Built, but she told us that he never acted studdish when he was intact. She says that Victory Built is sound, but he does have old “ankle jewelry” (in non-track lingo, old set osselets) that he has raced on for a while and should not limit him for any new career. On the day we photographed him, he had not done much other than shedrow walking for a few weeks since she had decided to take him out of race training, so while he posed quietly and perfectly, he was understandably a bit full of himself for his jog video. Nonetheless, he still showed very nice movement, with a light and lofty trot, good hind end engagement, and reach from the shoulders. Based on his build, movement, and pedigree, we think he has excellent sport horse potential in many disciplines, ranging from dressage to eventing to H/J. He is sired by Big Brown, a sire well known for getting good jumpers and eventers, who is from the Danzig sire line. His dam is by Dixie Union who is by Dixieland Band. Broad Brush, Roberto, Damascus, and Northern Dancer are other top sport horse TB sires in his pedigree.

We first observed this homebred mare in her stall where we saw her being sweet and affectionate with her trainer. We’re told that she loves to be fussed over- and one of our volunteers discovered this for herself as she received some Last Best Laugh nuzzles making it very clear how much she enjoyed being scratched on her neck, shoulders, and withers. This girl would certainly enjoy being pampered with spa days and appreciate regular massages! She was a proper lady for her photo shoot- quiet and polite. She is compactly built, and is one “big, solid, strong filly”. She has great width through both her chest and haunches, giving the impression of an extremely powerful girl who might be able to generate quick bursts of speed. We were told that she had a RF splint and has the leftover freeze fire marks, but it is from almost two years ago and is currently cosmetic only. We were told that she can be strong and forward to ride and as such, that she might be best for an experienced OTTB handler. Her trainer told us that he “breeds for endurance” and this mare’s lineage would suggest that she might have the pedigree chops to perform well in either the eventing or show jumping arenas- she’s by Creative Cause, a son of Giant’s Causeway and out of an Elusive Quality mare. But given her build, strength, balance, and confident attitude- we wonder if she might be a consideration for some western disciplines as well- perhaps working ranch? She’d certainly look adorable in western tack! Like her former stablemate Fluorescent Bay (who is also listed by FLF this week), her early race career was delayed when the training center she was first sent to as a 2-year-old did not provide the satisfactory foundation to her racing career that her trainer was looking for. Now, with only two lackluster starts on her racing resume, it looks like she may have missed her chance to be a serious race horse but that’s okay because it means that she is basically a blank canvas for you!

This lovely big mare has been a good honest hard trying race horse for her trainer, who has had her for the pst three years, almost her entire racing career. She has won 3 races, with an additional 11 placings, so she is always bringing home a check. The trainer says that the owner just has too many horses and has to let some of them move on to new careers, so Pals Ally is available to be your new pal and ally! He says that she has always been sound with no issues and has never missed a beat in training and racing, and that she is well behaved and good to handle with no vices. Her groom confirmed this. We admired her leggy build and pretty feminine face. On the day we photographed her, she was missing a hind shoe and her front toes were too long and very overdue for farrier treatment, and yet despite this and the unevenenss from the missing hind shoe she moved nicely and showed a flowing flat kneed big strided trot. We think that when her feet are given better farrier are she will be a beautiful mover! She is sired by Normandy Invasion, a son of Tapit who is not only becomeing a popular sire of sport horses for eventing or other jumping disciplines, but was retired from stud to pursue a sport horse career of his own. Her dam is by Cryptoclearance, who is perhaps the very best sport horse sire from the great Fappiano sire line. We think this kind, big hearted, durable nice moving mare with a great sport horse pedigree , has a lot to offer, and the fact that she is offered at a bargain price makes her even more of an enticing sport horse prospect. So mare olvoers out there, please step up for the lovely Pal!
