REV IT UP, 2020 15.3h bay gelding

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

When this young guy jogged off for his video, our jaws dropped. Wow, our volunteers exclaimed — look at that suspension! What a fancy mover — and what unlimited potential for a sport horse career! Rev it Up is unraced, and his trainer has concluded that she cannot get him ready to race at Finger Lakes, because he does not like the stick and she says all the available exercise riders are overly reliant on the stick in her opinion, and will not breeze or gallop without it. She says he is sound and an easy keeper who loves to eat — and his solid bodied physique bears that out. She says he is a very sweet young horse with no vices, and he was certainly friendly with our volunteers. We noted his solid bodied balanced build an strong hind end and shoulder. Hs legs are clean, but we noted that he does have a clubbed left front foot, His trainer says he has had zero soundness issues. He was barefoot and jogged soundly with WOW movement. He showed off great loft and suspension with hind end engagement and push, and an even rhythm. In the group of volunteers and shoppers who saw him, we had a dressage rider, two show hunter riders, and an eventer, and all of us were drooling and saying he could excel in our disciplines. Give him time to grow up and physically mature, and we think he can turn out to be an upper-level prospect in multiple sport horse disciplines. He is sired by Frank Conversation, a young son of Quality Road (Elusive Quality/Gone West) out of a mare from Awesome Again (Deputy Minister) and Capote (Seattle Slew) lines. If you are looking for an exciting upper-level prospect and have the patience and experience to let a young horse mature, Rev It Up is one you should seriously consider. And he is offered at a bargain price for a horse of his gorgeous movement and potential!

Price: $2500 negotiable

ISABELLA’S MAGIC, 2016 17h bay gelding

Here’s another dappled, tall, thick, sweet gelding that everyone searches for. Isabella’s Magic has looks and personality for days. He entertained our volunteers for 10 minutes while his stablemate was bathed for his photoshoot, insisting on pats, scratches, and kisses. He is also reported to be as good to ride as he is on the ground. According to his trainer, he retired sound. He is currently missing his hind shoe, however, so we were unable to get a jog video. His trainer reported that he is a bit “high” right now as he has been out of work for a few weeks, but at home on the farm, her kids handle him. It is reported that while at the track he does dig in his stall lightly, but that is his only vice. Because we were not able to get a jog video, his trainer sent us a video of him walking to the training track and a gallop video from the track. Our dressage oriented volunteer was drooling over that canter! Isabella’s Magic is by Street Magician, who is a son of Street Cry out of a Meadowlake mare. Isabella’s Magic’s dam is by Valley Crossing, from the Private Account/Damascus sire line, and out of a mare from the Fappiano sire line. Don’t let this one get away!

GRATTO SWING, 2016 16h bay gelding

If you’re looking for an adorable, in your pocket, easy going type of guy, then Gratto Swing is for you. This guy is reported sound without any vices by his track connections. His trainer reported that he is very easy to get along with, clean in his stall, and just an all around solid citizen. Gratto was eating up the attention from our volunteers, offering his nose for kisses and pets! He is reported to be a bit strong at the track while in training, but completely relaxes while at the farm. He has been in turn out with other horses and loves it. Gratto is currently barefoot behind. Gratto Swing is by Bank Heist who is by the very desirable Maria’s Mon, who’s offspring have found success in many second careers. He is out of a Master Command mare with AP Indy lines. This guy is the whole package, cute, sweet, and with great manners!

D’FUNNY KITTY, 2019 15.1h bay filly

They say good things come in petite packages, and this lovely young lady is a testament to that! Through no fault of her own, she did not race as the trainer could not find an exercise rider, but she is race trained and reported lovely and straightforward to ride. This girl didn’t want to do anything other than snuggle the volunteers- even while jogging! Kitty is reported sound and without vices. She was lovely and kind to volunteers in her stall. This lovely girl is a clean slate and ready to be someone’s next sport horse partner! Kitty is by D’Funny Bone and out of a Gold Token mare.

STUARTEE, 2020 16.3h bay gelding

Stuartee is a beautiful and very big young horse with a very desirable sport horse pedigree, and since it is obvious that he would rather put his big strided lovely gallop to good use over cross country courses or hunter courses than in trying to muster the speed needed for the dirt track sprints that predominate at Finger Lakes Race Track, his wonderful track connections have decided not to push him into trying to be a racehorse. He is a blank slate to develop your way once you give him time to finish growing — who knows how big he will wind up, given that he has been taped at 16.3h already! He is solid boned and well balanced, with a great shoulder and strong hind end. He is clean legged and sound, and he has also been scoped and everything is clean. He has had two timed workouts, and showed that he just doesn’t want to go fast enough to make it in racing — but thanks to those timed and published workouts he will be fully eligible for the 2023 and 2024 RRP. His trainer says he is a good to handle and has no vices, and she stressed that his gallop is lovely, light and rhythmical — the sort that you can ride all day. The video of him galloping on the track was taken in June, in only his second time on the track (he is the bay horse on the inside). Stuartee is by Greek Sun, who is a son of Danzig and raced in long distance turf races — a good trait for cross country. His dam Single Malt Female, who we recall as a hardknocking durable racemare at Finger Lakes, is from Skip Trial/Damascus and Halo lines, with Northern Dancer and Majestic Prince further back. Stuartee’s pedigree is full of turf and stamina oriented thoroughbred lines — the type of old school TB pedigree made for sporting disciplines.

DON’TMAKEAZEEN, 2019 15.3h bay filly

When you are this pretty you do want to make a scene! This still growing young filly is lightly raced, sound and clean legged, and a cute mover. In her 7 races she has shown no interest in running well — but with her good looks and excellent sport horse pedigree we can see her excelling in any new discipline. She is fully eligible for the RRP, and since she is still a bit butt high she should continue to grow. Her trainer describes her as sound with no stall vices, a filly who is good to handle but can feel good when she hasn’t done much recent work reports that she can be sensitive to grooming –as he says, she “makes faces,” but doesn’t do anything bad. She displayed light even movement with good push from behind for her jog video. Her sire is Indian Ocean, a son of Stormy Atlantic out of a Halo mare. We have placed some Indian Ocean offspring who have proven to be athletic jumpers and eventers, and Stormy Atlantic is a popular sport horse sire as well. Zeen’s dam Queen of Zee Nile is by Pioneer of the Nile, from the Empire Maker branch of Unbridled. These are also popular sport horse sire lines.

CANDYROCK, 2015 16.1h chestnut gelding

Candyrock impressed us with his balanced conformation and intelligent kind personality. His trainer says that he is a very classy and sound horse who has a willing attitude, is happy to train, and never does anything wrong. He has such a sensible professional attitude that the trainer sends him to the track for training and for racing without a pony horse. The owner/trainer says that because Candyrock is so athletic and well balanced, he is confident that he will be an outstanding jumper. We observed Candyrock being groomed for his photo session, and he stood like a perfect gentleman in his stall while being curried and brushed and was not even tied up. Candyrock is currently running well in allowance level races, but his owner/trainer is looking ahead to the end of the Finger Lakes racing season when he would like to fully retire from the racing game — and thus retire Candyrock to a new career. Candyrock has unlimited potential for any new discipline. He displayed very nice even light movement for his jog video. Note that the listed price for Candyrock reflects his current racing level; as the end of the Finger Lakes season gets closer the price for a non-racing new career may well become more negotiable. Candyrock is by Sidney’s Candy, who is a son of the great Candy Ride who is from the Cryptoclearance branch of the Fappiano sire line. Candyrock’s dam Untainted is by Speightstown out of Saint Ballado mare with Key to the Mint as her damsire. These Gone West/Halo/Ribot sire lines are coveted in sport horse disciplines.

IRISH MARAUDER, 2014 16.1h chestnut gelding

The owner/trainer describes the gorgeous Irish Marauder as the type of horse that everyone wants and needs: “he’s sound, he’s safe, he has a great mind, he has a great work ethic, he’s smart, he’s a happy horse” — the trainer raved on and on about his beloved guy. He told us that Irish Marauder has the best personality of any horse he has ever owned –“he’s just a super cool horse,” he exclaimed. Irish Marauder is a lovely mover, light, springy with the slow lofty cadence that should do well in dressage or in the hunter under saddle arena. The trainer reports that he has some old osselets that he’s had for years, but is sound. Irish Marauder hasn’t raced in a couple of years but has regular published workouts for 2021 and 2022, so he is fully eligible for the 2023 RRP. The trainer says he just hasn’t had any help with his small stable to get him to the races, and that he fears losing him to a claim if he raced him at the level where he could win. Irish Marauder enjoys his turn out time at the trainer’s farm, and he is reported to be great to handle in all situations. He is by Dublin, a son of Afleet Alex. We have placed several Dublin offspring who are succeeding in eventing and as show hunters — they tend to be excellent brave jumpers and good movers, and Afleet Alex is known for passing along a great brain. Irish Marauder’s dam is by Stephen Got Even, an AP Indy son who also has successful eventing offspring that we know of.

LIZZYLIES, 2018 15.3h bay filly

The trainer of this lovely young daughter of Overanalyze couldn’t stop raving about how sweet she is. “Sweet as apple pie,” “she does everything perfect,” “one of the sweetest and kindest horses I’ve ver had” were the things he kept saying about Lizzy. Lizzy is unraced, but she has been working out regularly, so she is fully eligible for the 2023 RRP. The trainer says that the only reason she is unraced is that he has been unable to get any help for his small stable, including regular exercise riders, and that while she is just a couple of breezes away from being conditioned enough to race, he wants to retire from training racehorses. He states that Lizzy is very sound, and we observed very clean legs. Lizzy posed quietly on a loose lead, and jogged slowly and politely, showing a nice reach to her trot. We can see her succeeding in the show hunter ring with her laid back attitude and very nice movement. Because Lizzy is such a sweetheart, he would love to see her become the pet of a horse crazy girl — working with a trainer to restart her for a new discipline of course. Her sire Overanalyze is a popular sport horse sire, and his sire Dixie Union and grandsire Dixieland Band are also admired in the sport horse world. This is a sire line known for good brained kind horses. Lizzy’s dam I’d Lie is by Songandaprayer, who is a son of Unbridled’s Song.

LA RUBIA, 2016 16.1h chestnut mare

This solid-bodied daughter of Drosselmeyer out of a Giant’s Causeway dam impressed us with her uphill build, strong shoulder and hind end, and lovely movement. Her trainer describes her as a very sound mare with clean legs and no vices, but she is just too slow to continue racing. She has had 20 starts, with 2 wins, one second, and 2 thirds. She has three races this year, so she is fully eligible for the 2023 RRP. Her trainer said La Rubia is good to handle but she can get excited when she knows it is race time. She reports that La Rubia has good energy and likes to work, and does what is asked of her. La Rubia was perfectly behaved for her photo session, posing perfectly while unbothered by a bee buzzing around her. She jogged politely on a loose lead and displayed light ground-covering movement with a good push from behind. We can see her succeeding in dressage, eventing, or H/J. She has an excellent sport horse pedigree. Her sire Drosselmeyer, who is by Forty Niner, is in select company with AP Indy and American Pharoah as one of only 3 horses to win the Belmont and the Breeders’ Cup Classic. A mare of this quality offered at a bargain price won’t last long, so don’t hesitate to call about her.

SARATOGA PRINCESS, 2019 15.3h bay filly

This beautiful filly is lightly raced, well bred, and described as super sweet and cuddly in her stall. We were taken in by her lovely face and her friendly personality. She has had only 4 starts; after breaking her maiden she is showing that the next level of competition is too steep for her, so her connections want to move her on to a new career. She has unlimited potential for any direction you want to go with her. Her handler reports that she is well behaved, good to handle with no vices, very sound, and her legs are very clean. For her jog video she displayed very nice light movement with excellent springy push from behind. She is by Laoban, who is a son of Uncle Mo out of a Speightstown mare. Her dam, Betty Baroness, is by the great Smarty Jones, and out of a mare from the Chief’s Crown/Danzig line. Saratoga Princess is still a bit butt high, a good sign that she is going to grow some more as she physically matures. This lovely sweetheart is offered at an enticing bargain price to ensure that she quickly finds a good new home, so do not hesitate to reach out to the contact person if you are interested, because we think she will go fast.

BELLAMY’S TREASURE, 2017 17h dark bay gelding

For those of you who are looking for a HUGE horse but only have a small horse budget, here is your Treasure! Bellamy’s Treasure is ready to move on to a new career because in 24 starts he has managed only one win, and in his 5 races this year he has yet to finish better than 4th. His trainer reports that he is sound, and has old set osselets that do not bother him. We photographed him a couple of days after he had raced and he was none the worse for wear. He was very laid back and jogged quietly, showing off a flowing big walk and a trot with a slow rhythmic cadence. HIs handler reports that Bellamy’s Treasure does not have a mean bone in his body, has no vices, but that he can be a bit quirky — as she described it while he is not a nervous horse, he occasionally can be a bit spooky when encountering something unexpected. Because of this and his size, he is best suited for an experienced rider/retrainer, who can help him build his confidence when confronting new situations. He is sired by Bellamy Road, who is from the Chief’s Crown/Danzig sire line. His dam, Pulpit’s Treasure, is by Pulpit out of a Meadowlake mare. These lines, which include AP Indy, Cozzene, IN Reality, Hold Your Peace, and Stop the Music/Hail to Reason, are good stout sport horse lines. Bellamy’s Treasure has no limitations for any new discipline. He is offered at an enticing bargain price simply because this barn prices all of their horses at this level so that they quickly find great new homes — and they will interview you and make sure you are a good and suitably experienced home and like to sell to people who keep them updated on their former racers.

CECIL’S COMET, 2017 17.1h bay mare

Located on a farm right next to the Finger Lakes Race Track, Farmington, NY (near Rochester)

If you are looking for a very big, beautiful, sweet, lovely mover who is unraced, fully let down and ready to get going in a new sport horse career, you should snap up Cecil’s Comet! She had our volunteers who saw her exclaiming about what a lovely horse she is, and then when we saw her move we got even more excited about her. Cecil’s Comet is described as a very sweet, willing girl with no vices and who is not marish at all. She is hanging out on a farm, barefoot, where she turns out well with other horses, and she would love to have a job. Her handler said that occasionally people come to ride her, and she is the kind of horse that can sit for a few weeks, get a brief lunge, and then hop on and she will quietly walk, trot canter around, While she is very green, riders report that she is very willing and wants to understand what the rider is asking, and quickly figures out things like moving off the leg. Cecil’s Comet in unraced because when she was in training as a two year old she got a mild bow — which was fully rehabbed and causes no issues, and her leg was nice and tight. She is cleared to do anything. But for the past couple of years she has passed through different owners, none of whom was in a position to put her into race training. Cecil’s Comet showed off a big flowing walk with a good overstep, and a lofty trot with a rhythmic cadence. This mare is indeed far too nice to be a pasture pet — we can see her going far in dressage, eventing, or hunters. She is by Desert Party, a son of Street Cry. We know of Desert Party offspring who have gone on to successful careers as sport horses. Her dam is by River Keen, who was a top sport horse and steeplechase sire in his day. She has His Majesty/Ribot and Hail to Reason in her female family as well.

KATIE’S COURAGE, 2018 16+h dark bay filly

If you’re looking for an extremely well put together sweetheart of a filly with outstanding sport horse potential, look no further. This lovely young girl is reported sound and still running well but has run out of conditions that her trainer feels she can succeed in, so they would rather let her go on to a second career. Our volunteers were wowed by her lovely conformation and dappled coat that shone in the sun. She was extremely sweet during her photo shoot, seeking pats and smooches. Her connections report that that she is always this way in and out of her stall, and if possible, even sweeter on the farm. She was great in turn out, middle of the pack in a large group of mares. They rave about her manners at the track, stating she’s very clean in her stall, has excellent manners and is very patient. There were not enough positive things that this lovely girl’s track connections could say about her! For her jog video Katie’s Courage displayed very nice even flat kneed movement with good reach and good push from behind. Katie’s Courage is by Flat Out who is a son of the much sought after late Flatter who is known to throw size, substance and excellent ammy friendly brains. She is out of a Giant’s Causeway mare, who is known for throwing incredible movement and jumping ability. Her dam also has Unbridled’s Song and Deputy Minister lines. Overall, a sport horse pedigree that can’t be beat. This girl is the entire package!

BISTRITA, 2019 15.2h chestnut filly

Our volunteer who took the photos of the adorably cute Bistrita reports that the filly just wanted to snuggle with her and get pats and attention. Bistrita’s owner, who also gallops her, says she is a smart filly, sound and good to work with, and that she has no vices. He states that she can be on her toes if she hasn’t done anything for a few days, but she settles right into her work. She has ten starts, with one win and 4 additional pla

cings. Her owner wants to return to Belmont in September, and he knows that Bistrita will not be competitive on that tougher NYRA circuit, so he would like to find her a new career now. We photographed her just a couple of days after she raced on August 2, and showing her durability, she is entered again on Tuesday August 16. But then she will be ready to move on. With her smaller stature Bistrita should appeal to polo people, but with her sweet personality she could also make a great horse for a kid working with a trainer. She is a well bred young filly who sold for $90,000 as a weanling. Her sire is Gormley, a young son of Malibu Moon. Her dam is by Giant’s Causeway out of a mare from the Mt. Livermore/Blushing Groom line. These are great sport horse sires in her pedigree.

MISS MAMBA, 2018 15.2h chestnut filly

If oh so sweet and pretty are what you like, then the adorable Miss Mamba is for you! After starting her racing career with a win on the turf in her very first race, Miss Mamba has not reached the winner’s circle since in 13 subsequent races, traveling around from tracks in KY, Louisiana, Florida, PA,and now NY, running on turf, dirt and synthetic. While she has earned several checks for second, third, and fourth place finishes — showing her hard trying heart — her connections realize that rather than continuing to drop her down the class ladder just to try to get a second win, it is far better to let her find her niche in a new career where someone will be richly rewarded by forming a loving partnership with this sweet filly. Her trainer raved about how sweet and kind she is — the trainer reports that Miss Mamba is so easy to work with, is a loving sweetheart, clean legged and sound, neat in her stall, without any vices. The trainer thinks that Miss Mamba could be an ideal horse for a child or teen working with a trainer in a professional program. She thinks Miss Mamba would love to be doted on by a horse loving kid! For her jog video Miss Mamba politely trotted on a loose lead and displayed a very cute flowing trot. Miss Mamba is sired by Include, a son of Broad Brush out of a Stop the Music (Hail to Reason) mare. Include is known for siring ammy friendly horses with great brains and aptitude for sporting disciplines. Miss Mamba’s dam is by Gilded Time, who is by Damascus — another sire line known for good jumpers. For those who do not need a big horse, we think Miss Mamba is an excellent sport horse prospect — but she wold also be perfectly happy being a trail partner and pleasure horse. She just wants to love you and for you to love her!

PEPPER KING, 2019 15.2+h bay gelding

This cute and stocky young guy has shown no aptitude for racing — in 5 starts he has enjoyed the view from the back of the pack. But he has unlimited potential for any new career. His trainer says that he is mentally and physically immature — she says that he wants to try to take in everything but has not yet learned to focus. The jolly ball — yes! Oh, but that toy — yes! Oh, and that nice person over there– yes! She says he is very sweet and sound and there is not a mean bone in his body, but he needs a patient person who can let him physically and mentally mature — and then that lucky person is going to have a great horse. His sire is Majestic City, a son of City Zip. One of our volunteers has a Majestic City offspring who also came off the track as a 3yo with a similar “rear view” record in 5 starts, also physically and mentally immature, with a similar lack of focus; a year later he has proven to be the sweetest and most willing horse with a lot of jumping talent and good movement. He has been brought along in a patient professional program that has given him time off during his growth spurts ( he grew from 15.3 to 16.1+ in 9 months!), and he has blossomed into an exciting show hunter prospect who shows exponential improvement and focus from each new experience. Other people that we know with Majestic City offspring report similar experiences — they need time to grow physically and mentally, they are naturally inclined to be very sweet and willing and laid back, and they just get better and better from each training session. So Pepper King’s ideal new home is with a patient experienced person who will give him time to mature, knowing of the great potential that is worth bringing along the right way. And if brought along properly in this situation, he is likely to wind up being a great all-around or kid’s horse. With Pepper King’s stocky smaller build, he looks like a horse with great potential for barrels… but other Majestic City offspring are also showing great jumping talent. Pepper King’s dam is from Blushing Groom and Fappiano lines, which are coveted in the sport horse world.

DEACON ELI, 2019 15.3h chestnut gelding

Here is a young still growing gelding with excellent conformation, an outstanding sport horse pedigree, and a kind temperament that his owner describes as a “true gentleman.” We listed Eli last fall at the end of the Finger Lakes racing season, when he was still an unraced 2yo, and there was a lot of interest in him. But his owner decided to overwinter him in the hopes of racing him this year. Over the winter he found a small chip in Eli’s knee, not in the joint, and sent him to Cornell to have it successfully removed. Eli was carefully and properly rehabbed, and vet cleared to do anything. He was put back into full race training and galloped and breezed without any issues and never shoed any signs of soreness. Eli had his one and only race at the end of May; as the replay shows, he broke well and showed good early speed, but then was checked and stumbled, and the jockey pulled him up. He came back fine with nothing at all amiss. But his owner decided that was it for Eli’s racing career — his beloved horse seems so much better suited for a different career. Eli’s connections report that he is great to work with and handle and has no vices — unless you count begging for treats and attention. He is reported to be particularly found of bananas! Eli has siblings who are much bigger, and matured late, so we think he still has some growing to do. Eli has a great pedigree for sporting disciplines. His sire Beautyinthepulpit is by Pulpit — a son of AP Indy — out of a Deputy Minister mare with Damascus close up in her pedigree. His dam, Cleopatra’s Needle, by the great Smart Strike, is not only from the best female family in Canadian TB breeding, but she is also is a sister to the dam of a wonderful horse owned by one of our volunteers — a horse who is an unflappable sweetheart and an amazing all-around horse competing in eventing, jumpers, dressage, and a rockstar on hunter paces and on the trails. If ELi turns out anything like his “cousin,” he will be the horse of a lifetime for the lucky new owner.

TIJUANA FLAIR, 2018 16h bay filly — to FLTAP

This sweet girl is relatively lightly raced with only 10 starts. She has 2 wins in those starts, but has not hit the board at all this year, so her connections are ready to move her onto a new career. Tijuana Flair sold for $95,000 as a weanling and she is very well bred, so there is definitely broodmare potential for her given her quality bloodlines. Her trainer reported she is super sweet and she was very well mannered during her photo shoot today. She is reported to have no stall vices. Her trainer reports she is very well behaved for the exercise rider. Over the winter, she was turned out in a round pen. We loved her stocky build which will suit a longer legged rider well! Her trainer reported that she had some swelling surrounding her suspensory after her last race which was just 4 days prior to our photo session, but was never unsound. She was vet checked and cleared for any discipline going forwards. Her leg was fine on the day we photographed her. She will be eligible for RRP. Tijuana Flair is by Awesome Again, who is from Deputy Minister and Blushing Groom lines, and her dam is by Tiznow out of a marefrom the Caro sire line. Tijuana Flair’s dam is a full sister to a multiple graded stakes winning millionaire, and her second dam is a multiple stakes winner. Both Awesome Again and Tiznow are renowned racng broodmare sires, and also coveted sires in the sport horse world. So her pedigree makes her a very attractive prospect for sport, and for breeding for racing or sport.

DIVA’S RED DEVIL, 2019 16.1h chestnut filly

This gorgeous, flashy homebred is very near and dear to her connections, so the very best of homes is an absolute must. They can tell you everything you could possibly want to know about Diva and will happily answer questions to ensure she is going to a perfect fit. Diva is described as very sweet, easy going girl who wants to please. She sounds like she has seen just about everything in her short life. She is very brave-nothing fazes her. Her connections report she is good for the vet and farrier, loads easily, and enjoys the swimming pool. She bonded with the mini pony over the winter and also was a big fan of the pet cow, who she would snuggle with over the fence. Diva did well in turnout over the winter. When preparing to come back to the track in the spring, she was ridden frequently in the indoor arena. They report she is great to ride. Her connections report she is a distance girl and can go all day long-so she may be a good fit for eventing, but certainly she could go in many different directions. Her connections report she has never had any soundness issues. She has some very mild ankle rounding which her connections x-rayed. Her xrays were clean and nothing was found. The xrays are available to interested parties. She has no stall vices. Diva is letting her connections know that racing is not her thing during her workouts and training. She is not raced, but will be eligible for RRP due to her official workouts. If you are looking for a project that should transition easily to post track life, this could be your girl! She is a blank slate that is sure to turn heads wherever she goes. We loved the flaxen coloring in her mane and tail which has to be seen in person to truly appreciate. She has gorgeous dapples. It is obvious that Diva has been pampered and loved! Diva has an excellent pedigree for sporting disciplines. She is by Encaustic, who is a son of Broad Brush out of a Stop the Music (Hail to Reason) mare — Encaustic is a full brother to Include, who is a great sport horse sire. Diva’s dam is by Indy King, a son of AP Indy, and is out of a mare from Fappiano and In Reality bloodlines.

GOT TO LIKE IT, 2015 15.3+h bay gelding

It’s always a good sign when a horse is a handler favorite. Got to Like It’s connections had nothing but glowing reviews for this boy. He stood very quietly for his photo shoot and jogged politely on a loose lead. We admired his big stocky build and enjoyed his kisses and cuddles he readily handed out. His connections report he is super kind and a very people oriented horse. He aims to please and has a gentle temperament. They reported he has been around children and dogs-even having a dog in his stall while grooming this past winter. At the farm, he is reported to turn out well with other horses. His connections report he has no stall vices and has never had any soundness issues. He sounds like the total package and a barn dream! His connections are quite attached to this guy, so the best of homes is a must. They will want references to ensure he is going to a great home who will love him as much as they do. In his 36 starts, Like It has 2 wins, 5 seconds, and 4 thirds. He is by Bold Warrior out of an E Dubai mare. He will be eligible for RRP.

FABLE’S LOVE AFFAIR, 2017 16h chestnut mare

Another barn favorite! Fable is a beautiful mare who’s track connections could not say enough positive things about her. She is reported sound with no past injuries and with no stall vices. Our volunteers got to see her in her stall and she is as sweet as reported, begging for pets and snuggles! Her groom reports that Fable is the best behaved and kindest horse she’s ever handled in the paddock before a race. She is reported to be very, very sweet and kind, and perfect to ride. They state that she never does anything wrong. She is currently out of conditions to run and her connections state that she is just too nice of a horse to just keep in the barn. While she is a bit on the lighter framed side, she is currently in a growth spurt. For her jog video she showed off lovely flowing movement. Fable is by War Power who is by the extremely desired Pulpit who’s offspring are known for athletic ability, build, and trainability. War Power’s dam is by Rahy, from the Blushing Groom line, and she is a half sister to Union Rags. Fable’s dam is by Tale of the Cat out of a mare by Mt. Livermore, which brings in another cross of Blushing Groom. Fable is a lovely girl that we could see going in just about any direction.

Hunk of love” was exactly how How You Feeling’s groom described him, and our volunteers agreed! This very sweet boy is reported to be sound, with no vices, and to be absolutely perfect! He is reported to always be relaxed, good to ride, but just too slow. His connections stated that he is am absolute barn favorite and that all the ladies in the barn are absolutely in love with him. This youngster is definitely in a growth spurt right now, so he is a bit “butt high” at the moment. How You Feeling is by Mission Impazible who’s offspring have been known for their trainability and fantastic brains.

SOARING MIST, 2018 15.3h bay filly

Quote

Soaring Mist is currently seeking her very own person. This young girl is reported sound with no vices, however, she does like to “make faces” in her stall. Her connections report that they are all just an act, and that she never does anything wrong, but she does like to pretend to have a “tough girl” exterior. While she may give dirty looks in her stall, our volunteer were wowed by her lovely dapples, deep barrel, and overall lovely appearance outside her stall. She is reported good to ride, but that she very much wants just one person to learn to trust. She has a bit more go than whoa, so they do think she would be best suited with an experienced rider. Soaring Mist is by Soaring Empire who is by Empire Maker who’s offspring are known for their jumping and dressage ability, as well as their trainability. She is out of a Mt. Livermore mare.

PENDOLINO, 2016 16.1h gray mare

Here is another stunning gray mare who has proven her mettle with over $200,000 in race winnings, mostly in allowance races on the top level NYRA circuit. She has a strong boned uphill build with a great shoulder and hind end. Her trainer says she loves treats, especially peppermints and carrots. Her legs are clean, and the trainer reports that she is sound. With her quality racing record and strong female family, her trainer thinks she is an attractive prospect as a broodmare for racing. With her good looks we also think she would produce beautiful warmblood cross babies. She is sired by Honorable Dillon, a son of the great Tapit. Her dam is by Tiznow and is a half sister to multiple graded stakes winners, including a millionaire grade 1 winner. Her third dam is a multiple stakes winner and stakes producer. This is the direct female family of Naughty Gal, who just won one of the top 2yo filly graded stakes races at Saratoga.

VOODOO CAT, 2016 15.3h chestnut gelding

This friendly cute guy is a stiking dun color with a dark dorsal stripe, although dun is not an official thoroughbred coloring. He was so perfectly polite for his photo session, showing off his compact solid bodied conformation. For his jog video he displayed very nice even and flowing movement, with a good ground covering step on a loose lead. His trainer says he is excellent to handle and work with, has no vices, and is an easy keeper. She reports that he has set osselets that usually do not bother him, but now is a good time to find him a less strenuous career since in his 14 starts, he has proved to be a hard tryer who has 6 second or third place finishes, but he has yet to win — and as a 6 year old, if he does not win soon he will no longer be eligible to race at Finger Lakes. He is sired by Friesan Fire, who is a son of AP Indy out of a mare by Dehere from the Deputy Minister sire line. His dam, Blues Cat, is from Dixieland Band and Fappiano lines. These are excellent sport horse lines, which suggest that Voodoo Cat could do well in many new careers. We can see him as a great kid’s horse– for someone working with a professional trainer of course– or as a trail and pleasure horse, or a horse for lower level local H/J or dressage.

KOALA BEAR, 2015 16.2h dark bay gelding

Located on a farm in Shortsville NY, close to the Finger Lakes Race Track

Everyone loves Koala Bears, and this gorgeous equine version (by an Australian sire) is as adorable and loveable as his namesake. Koala Bear is a beloved homebred, so you can get his entire history from the owner/breeder, who is the designated contact person. Lightly raced, he hit the board in half of his 12 starts, but did not find the winner’s circle. Since the tracks at which they race do not allow non-winners to race past 6, they brought Koala Bear back to their farm, let him down from racing, and are now ready to find him a great new home where he can excel in a new career. Koala Bear has siblings, out of the same mare, who are doing quite well as show jumpers, so we think Koala Bear has equally great sport horse potential. The owner/breeder describes Koala Bear as bold and strong and sound, with unlimited potential for any new discipline — but because he is big and strong he is best suited for an experienced rider. He is good to handle and has no vices and ships well. She reports that Koala Bear is good in group turn out, but is the “boss I want to be first in” type of horse. She has been using him as a babysitter for her young horses, and he is great at that task. Koala Bear is a gorgeous horse, nearly black, solid bodied, with an elegant chiseled head. He is clean legged, and currently barefoot. He had been trimmed the day before our photo session, and he showed a very nice even trot on pavement. Koala Bear is sired by Lohnro, who was a champion in Australia, and is from the Sir Ivor/Turn-to sire line — a line one doesn’t see much in the US anymore but is known for stout sound horses with jumping aptitude and stamina. His dam, Argentina, is by Storm Cat and her female line is one of the best in the US stud book — and, as the owner/breeder informed us, she has already proven her ability to produce great jumpers. Koala Bear presents a rare opportunity to get a horse already fully let down from the track, adjusted to farm life, and ready to restart for a new career.

JUMP STARTER, 2019 16h chestnut gelding

Exciting young sport horse prospect! He has the build, sport horse pedigree, athletic movement, and temperament to take you far in eventing or H/J disciplines. SInce he is only three, he is likely to grow some more and top out at over 16h. After just five races in which he has yet to hit the board, it is obvious that racing is not the game for Jump Starter. His trainer says that he loves to gallop, and trains well in the morning, but that hasn’t translated into success in the afternoon races. She reports that he is sound, good to deal with and work around, a good eater, and has no vices. As a bonus, she reports that he is very neat in his stall — something that any groom/stall cleaner will greatly appreciate! Jump Starter is sired by Micromanage, a son of Medaglia D’Oro from the coveted ElPrado/Sadler’s Wells sire line. MIcromanage has sired several horses who have become successful eventers/jumpers; indeed, Micromanage himself was retired from stud duty and retrained as an eventer. Jump Starter’s dam Red to Positive is by Jump Start, a son of AP Indy — everyone that we know who has a Jump Start offspring loves them and is always looking for these bloodlines for sport horses. We listed Red to Positive ten years ago, and her groom at the track described her as a sweetheart who was wonderful to work with. It sounds like she has passed her great temperament on to her son.

EXECUTIVE DECREE, 2014 16.2h bay gelding

Classy war horse alert! For those who are wise enough to know how wonderful the mature horses who have been there, done that, raced all over proving their heart, durability and soundness are for many years of fun in new careers, you should be jumping to bring Executive Decree into your life. His trainer describes him as a “nice class horse who knows his business.” He was oh so mellow and sensible for his photo session, paying no attention to horses next to him on a walking machine who were doing bucking twirlies as he jogged by on a loose lead. He’s big, with an uphill build and shiny coat and just enough chrome to attract attention in the show ring. He showed a big step at the walk and good push from behind at the trot. His trainer reports that he can be a bit standoffish to people he doesn’t know (although he was friendly with our volunteer) and he would love to be a one person horse who can bond with his person. If ever a horse deserved a great life settled down with his own person to bond with, it is the well traveled Executive Decree. HIs racing career of 71 starts, 8 wins, 9 seconds, and 19 thirds, has taken him to 9 states, from the Pacific Northwest, to the Southwest, to the MIdwest, to Florida, and the Northeast. His trainer reports that he is very sound; he has small osselets that are well set and have been with him for a long time, and cause no issues at all. Executive Decree has been less competitive this year, so his trainer realizes it is time to let him move on to a new career. He has no limitations and could do anything. He was bred in California, and he is by Thorn Song, a son of Unbridled’s Song out of a mare from Storm Bird/Northern Dancer and Secretariat lines. His dam is form Nureyev and Langfuhr/Danzig lines.

SPILL THE TEA, 2018 15.2h liver chestnut filly

Located at a farm in Weedsport NY — where she will start retraining while looking for her new person.

This petite and pretty filly was so sweet and friendly as we stood in front of her stall getting her story from her trainer. The trainer confirmed that she is very sweet and kind to handle, with no vices. The current owner claimed her this past spring, hoping that with her turf oriented pedigree she would excel racing on the grass. But she turned out to have a small chip in her left knee; the trainer told us that she gallops fine on it without any soreness, but that she has come back from the exertion of racing a bit sore on the knee for a few days. So they would like to find her a new career less strenuous than racing. Considering that she gallops around the track without issues, she can probably do many lower level disciplines. She jogged politely for her video, showing cute movement. She has one win in ten starts, with an additional second and third. She is well bred, with several illustrious sport horse sires in her pedigree. She is by Ironicus, a turf stakes winner by Distorted Humor out of an AP Indy mare. Her dam is by the great More than Ready, who is from the Halo sire line.

SKYWRITING, 2016 17.1h bay gelding

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

Unicorn alert!!!! Everyone tells us they want a very big, balanced, beautiful moving gelding with a great sport horse pedigree and a good brain who is light and lofty to ride…. at a reasonable price. Well here he is!!! Skywriting sold for $425,000 as a yearling, based on his exceptional looks and balance and pedigree. While he did not quite live up to that lofty price on the track, he has a respectable record of 3 wins and 6 additional top three finishes in his 34 race career. His owner/trainer says that this year his heart just does not seem to be in racing anymore, yet they recognize his exceptional potential for a new sport horse career, so it is time to let him find the perfect new outlet. His handler, who is the trainer’s wife and who has a H/J and dressage background, told us that she has been riding Skywriting, and that he has floaty gaits and a lofty rhythmic canter that has her dreaming of upper level dressage. She reports that he is very kind to ride with a soft mouth, and that he is trained to stand quietly on cross ties and at the mounting block. He does have one quirk — he is sensitive to having a bridle pulled over his ears, so they bridle him by putting in the bit and then unbuckling the headstall and placing it over his ears and then buckling it back up. He is reported to be sound but with an old set osselet that does not bother him at all. He was gelded last year, and is not studdish, but like many horses gelded late, he can occasionally be mouthy. Due to his size, his bridling quirk, and big lofty movement he is not for an inexperienced rider — but in the right experienced hands we think he can go far in the sport horse world. For his jog video he displayed beautiful light and lofty ground covering movement. He is sired by Super Saver, who is a son of Maria’s Mon from an AP Indy mare. The Maria’s Mon sire line is a coveted pedigree line for sport horses, known for great movement, jumping ability and great minds, and we know so many people who have horses from this line who tell us they want more! Skywriting’s dam line is equally good for sport disciplines, with Sky Mesa, Pulpit/AP Indy, Dehere, Deputy Minister. Skywriting is the rare offering that fits what everyone with upper level ambitions says they are looking for, so call fast — horses like this do not come around often.

ZIA ADELIA, 2018 15.3h bay filly

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

The beautiful miss Zia is a very friendly and inquisitive filly, as our volunteer got to experience first-hand. As we were taking notes about Zia while standing in front of her stall, she started nuzzling us and our notebook as if to say “are you writing about how beautiful and sweet I am?” Zia has several second and third place finishes in her racing career at the maiden special weight level, but at the end of last year she developed an osselet in her right front ankle. Her owner/trainer gave her the winter off, then x-rayed her ankle, and it showed that the osselet was set, and there were no chips or fractures or other issues in that ankle, and the vet cleared her for a full return to racing. But in her workouts Zia is showing her connections that her heart is no longer in racing, so they have decided that it is best for this very pretty and sweet filly to find her a new career that is not quite as strenuous. Zia is fully eligible for the 2023 RRP. The trainer’s wife has ridden Zia at their farm, and told us that she is very soft in the bridle and lovely to ride and handle… and she and the trainer confirmed that Zia is a very friendly girl with no vices. They also reported that she is accustomed to a mounting block and cross ties, and that she is good for the farrier. For her jog video Zia showed off pretty light movement that makes us think she might be a lovely lower level hunter or dressage prospect. In our experience, we have seen many OTTBs with bigger old set osselets than hers succeeding as jumpers, eventers, show hunters…. in other words, old set osselets do not impede any new career! Zia has balanced conformation with a classic pretty hunter look, and as a young four year old she is still likely to grow a bit more. She is sired by Liaison, who is a son of Indian Charlie, which is the same sire line as the great Uncle Mo. Her dam side brings in Deputy Minister, Broad Brush, and Halo — all excellent sport horse lines.

BEYONDELLE, 2015, 16.2h dark bay mare

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

Ooh la la, feast your eyes on this gorgeous, classy mare who has long been a barn favorite! Beyondelle is well loved by her connections, current and past, and it’s easy to see why. From her classic good looks, substantial size and winning personality, Beyondelle’s handler offers nothing but superlatives to describe her. The trainer stated that her riders love to gallop Beyondelle and that she is all business when she is on the track. Beyondelle has had a very successful career as a racehorse, compiling 13 in-the-money finishes out of 33 lifetime starts, including 7 wins. She had an unfortunate fall in November of 2021 when she clipped heels with another horse while racing and went down. She was shaken up but not injured and went back to the barn on her own. Both she and her rider have had several months to get back to 100% and, although she is sound, her heart is no longer in the game and she has not returned to her prior form. For her video she was super laid back, walking quietly on a loose lead, and then politely jogging, showing a lovely even trot. Beyondelle has an excellent pedigree for sport. She is by Biondetti, a son of Bernardini (A. P. Indy). Bernardini and A. P. Indy get are sought after for careers in sporting disciplines and are noted to have good brains. Her dam is by Elusive Quality from the desirable Gone West sire line, and she has the great sport horse sire Quiet American in her damsire line. Beyondelle is truly the total package for fans of mares in beautiful dark bay wrapping.

A MAIZE ZING RIP 2017 15.3+ bay gelding

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

This lovely gelding is described as a very sweet boy who is great to work with and to gallop on the track. After a respectable racing career, Rip’s family connections have made the decision to move him along. He just isn’t competitive anymore and they feel that he’s just done with the game. He was very sweet and quiet while we visited with him and was happy to accept the mints we offered while standing him up for his photos. He has no stable vices according to the handler and is sound with clean legs. Rip is by Majestic City, a son of City Zip, out of a Wildcat Heir mare. The Majestic City offspring that we have placed are all very sweet and kind horses, good movers, and showing excellent jumping ability. He also has More Than Ready, Halo, Relaunch, and Dixieland Band, among other notable sport horse sires, in his pedigree. Rip has notched 14 in-the-money finishes out of 33 lifetime starts, including 5 wins, so he has been a good earner for his shedrow. While we observed his fondness for peppermints, we were also told that he loves his Jolly Ball and is quite playful with it, so add those two items to your shopping list before he comes home with you!

C B LOVES A FIGHT, 2019 16.1h bay gelding

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

C B may love a fight, but he doesn’t love racing or running any faster than the water truck!

After 8 lifetime starts without once finishing better than fourth, his connections are pulling the plug on this leggy son of leading New York sire Central Banker. C. B. is only three and still has some growing and filling out in his future. He was extremely polite and cooperative while we stood him up for his conformation shots and chatted about his brief racing career. His handler told us that he cribs but only on the screen in the front of his stall and not on his water bucket or feed tub. C. B. is reported to be sound, is good to work with on the ground and we saw nothing but potential in this handsome young gelding. He has an outstanding sport horse pedigree. His sire Central Banker is by Speightstown, who is a son of renowned sport horse sire Gone West, out of a mare by Go For Gin from the His Majesty/Ribot line. CB’s dam is by Pleasant Tap, a son of Pleasant Colony, who brings in another cross of HIs Majesty/Ribot. This lovely young gelding is offered at a rare bargain price, so we think he will go fast.

Price $1000 neg.

SPARTINA SPLASH, 2015 15.3h bay mare

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

Spartina has been lovingly cared for by connections who are prepared to conduct due diligence when selecting her new home. She has been a good earner for them and now that her form has tailed off, they are eager for her to find a new home that will love her as much as they do. We loved her solid build with a deep chest and clean legs. Her trainer believes that she could go in just about any direction but thinks she may appeal to polo or barrels riders with her compact stature. She reports that Spartina turns out well in a herd and has had winters off at the farm. Spartina has a very good race record with 33 lifetime starts, 18 of them in-the-money, a better than 50% record. Her earnings of a bit over $100,000 was, as her trainer stated, earned the hard way in lower level claiming ranks. We loved her jog where she showed off lovely balance and cadence. She is by Boys at Toscanova (Officer) and out of a Precise End Mare who was herself a very successful racehorse with 12 wins and better than 50% in-the-money finishes. Spartina was meant to be a good racehorse and she complied while she had the heart for it. When you call to make an appointment to see her in person, please be prepared to give references.

Independent Thinka, 2017 15.2h bay mare

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

Just look at the shine and dapples resplendent on this adorable mare in a plain bay wrapper (this writer’s weakness!). Without being asked, she stood herself up in perfect fashion and posed quietly in the road while our photographer went to work capturing her beauty. Thinka has a brief history on the track and her handler/trainer was forthcoming with all information. Thinka sustained a sesamoid fracture as a three year old and had lengthy rehab time to get back in the game with the ultimate goal of resuming her racing career at Presque Isle Downson the synthetic surface. She has been in training and breezing without any soundness issues at all, but her connections realized that, in order to be ready for the PI meet, which ends in mid-September, they would have to move more quickly on her than they felt comfortable with. Her very generous owner agreed to stop on her racing career and let her move her along into her next, best, career off the track, and now she is here for your consideration. Thinka has had excellent care and has been xrayed during her rehab as well as prior to every breeze, to be certain that no changes were occurring. These serial xrays are available for serious inquiries. Thinka is sound and has been in regular training. Thinka has been with her track connections at their winter farm and is good in turnout with a larger herd, with a tendency to be boss mare. She is described as a very easy keeper so does not get the full grain regiment that her stablemates do and she remains in very good weight. She is also desdribed as a “perfect” ride and has no stable vices. Thinka is an all around good citizen. For her jog video she displayed beautiful movement, with an even rhythm and a flowing reach. We can see her in the hunter ring with her beaiutiful good looks and huntery movement, but we also think she can shine in any new disciplines.Thinka is by Colonel John (Tiznow) out of a Wiseman’s Ferry dam. She is lightly raced with three lifetime starts and no in-the-money finishes.

MACLEAN’S LEGACY, 2017, 16.1h chestnut gelding

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

Maclean’s Legacy is a solid bodied, handsome young gelding who is retiring sound, with unlimited potential for any new career. After racing at the tougher NYC and PA circuits, his owner sent him to Finger Lakes hoping that the softer competition would get Legacy to the winner’s circle. But when that didn’t happen, his connections decided it was time to find Legacy a new career where he can excel. He has clean, tight legs, and his connections say he is sound, a good horse to handle, without any stable vices. He showed off very nice balanced movement for his jog video, and he was very polite to handle even though he has just been walking since his last race. He has 21 starts, with one win, and 4 additional top three finishes. He has raced six times in 2022 so he is fully eligible for the 2023 RRP. Legacy has a excellent sport horse pedigree. He is by Maclean’s Music, a rising star sire son of the great Distorted Humor, and out of an Unbridled’s Song mare. Legacy’s dam is by Crafty Prospector with a female family that features the excellent sport horse sires Private Account and Vaguely Noble.

LASAGNA, 2017 16.1h dark bay mare

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

So who doesn’t love Lasgana? And this “dish” is especially delectable — a gorgeous barn favorite with a gleaming, dappled coat, sweet demeanor and thick build. Lasagna is a barn pet who is also a homebred from the trainer’s breeding program. Her groom had nothing but kind words about her charge, and enthusiastically endorsed her as a nice mare who doesn’t like to be rushed while training or on the track. Lasagna has had 20 starts,with only one win, and her recent performances have convinced her connections that the elusive second win is not likely…. but they know she can have a “delicious” new career — she has unlimited potential for any discipline. She is retiring sound, and we admired her stout build and lovely neck, a trait her handler said is from her dam. She has a cute way of going at the jog and was ever so polite while standing for her conformation shots. Lasagna is by Verrazano, a son of More Than Ready from the Halo line, so she boasts a good sporting pedigree. Her dam is also from the Halo sire line, with the In Excess/Caro line as well — exceptional sport horse lines.

HERECOMESTHEJUDGE, 2016 16+h bay gelding

Located on a farm in Victor NY near Finger Lakes Race Track

This solid bodied beautiful son of Big Brown is described by his connections as a “wonderful” horse with a fun personality, kind to ride, lovely to gallop, soft in the bridle, preferring a soft-handed rider. He comes from the best connections who take great care of their horses and love to follow them in their new careers. They describe him as sound, with clean legs. They have decided to retire him from racing because after his recent workouts he came back a bit stiff; while he quickly worked out of it, he has done well for them and deserves a less strenuous career. They feel he has no limitations for any new discipline, including jumping. Judge has 19 starts, with 3 wins, and 6 seconds/thirds. He has published workouts this year so he should be fully eligible for the 2023 RRP. In the videos taken at the owner/trainer’s farm, Judge showed excellent engagement and push from behind with nice suspension at the jog. Judge has an ideal sport horse pedigree. Both his sire, Big Brown, and his damsire, Freud, are known for producing good movers and jumpers with good brains. Big Brown comes from the Danzig line of Northern Dancer; Freud is a full brother to Giant’s Causeway, one of the most sought after TB sport horse stallions.

STARSHIP PRANKSTER, 2017 16h bay mare

Located at Finger Lakes Racetrack in Farmington, NY (near Rochester).This lovely girl is described as being “absolutely lovely to be around” by her race connections. Volunteers witnessed this as she was groomed for her photo session without being tied, often nuzzling her groom. She is reported to have no vices or injuries, and to be extremely pleasant in the barn. While she is more of a forward thinking horse, her connections state that she just likes to go, but doesn’t do anything naughty. She was very excited during her jog video as her groom commented that she was “thinking she was going to go race”, but she remained respectful of her handler. He commented that he had often been told that she was a nice mover, and our volunteers witnessed lovely lofty movement that, combined with the gorgeous roaning throughout her coat, would surely turn heads! Starship Prankster is by Bahamian Squall who is by the sought after sport horse sire Gone West and out of a Touch Gold mare.

UNION BANKS, 2016 16.2h bay gelding — sold for racing

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

This handsome, solid bodied son of the great Union Rags is described by his trainer as a quiet, sweet, laid back horse who is “perfect to work with.” Showing the truth to his trainer’s words, Union Banks stood like a perfect gentleman for his photo session, unfazed by morning training activity going on around him, and eager for our attention. His elegance, and kind intelligent eye impressed our volunteers. Union Banks has been a solid hard trying race horse, with 23 starts and 16 top three finishes. His trainer reports that Union Banks is now coming back from his races with a slight filling in the left knee that goes away after a few days, and he thinks it is best to let him move on to a new career that is less strenuous than racing. On the track, in the confined stressful atmosphere, Union Banks can be a stallwalker; he would benefit from an environment where he can get turnout and some time to learn to be a horse again. His sire Union Rags is by Dixie Union, and both of those sires are known for getting horses with great brains, good movement, and heart. Union Banks’ dam is by Successful Appeal, an excellent sport horse sire from the In Reality sire line. Union Banks’ third dam produced the star racehorse and sire Indian Charlie, who sired Uncle Mo. So there are more great sport horse lines on the dam’s side of his pedigree. We think that Union Banks could be a great horse for pleasure riding, lower level dressage or hunter paces and eventing, that someone looking for a sensible horse with a great brain, who is working with a trainer who knows how to transition OTTBs to new disciplines could have a lot of fun with.

GREAT GRAND SON, 2016 16h chestnut stallion

Located on a farm next to the Finger Lakes Race Track, Farmington, NY (near Rochester) Hello gorgeous! The flashy chrome, great shoulder, kind eye, friendly personality, big fancy movement, and fabulous sport horse pedigree on this guy left our volunteers drooling over his sport horse potential. Our volunteer who is a dressage rider sees upper level potential for that discipline; our volunteer who has evented also sees upper level potential for that discipline. When we photographed and videoed him, he had done nothing but hand walk since his last race three weeks ago, and he stood politely for photos, and walked and jogged respecting his handler. He showed a flowing walk with a big step, and a trot with great reach from the shoulder and signs of fancy extension. When he emerged from the barn, he also displayed signs of elevation and collection that had our dressage-oriented volunteer quite excited. Great Grand Son was bred by his owner, who also started him under saddle and galloping on the track. The owner/breeder describes him as easy to start, an intelligent horse who progressed quickly to doing figure eights and a soft canter; he also reports that he was lovely to gallop on the track. The owner/breeder wasn’t able to get him to the races until he was 5, due to COVID and other life disruptions; in only three starts Great Grand Son has demonstrated that he does not want to be a racehorse. His first two starts were at Belmont last fall, and when he ran far behind the field in both races, his owner had a Vet thoroughly check him out, and the report was that the horse was sound and physically able to do anything. This year, the owner sent Great Grand Son to FInger Lakes, hoping that the softer competition would bring him racing success, but in his only start at Finger Lakes in early June he showed a lack of competitiveness. Because he has raced and worked in 2022, he is fully eligible for the 2022-23 RRP. The trusted person who is now caring for Great Grand Son reports that he is a kind and “really cool” horse, who loves attention, and is a great eater. He is a little bit mouthy, in a playful way — something one can expect in a horse who is still intact. While he could remain a stallion and enjoy a dual career as a sport horse and a sport horse sire to cross with warmblood mares, he would certainly make an amazing gelding. Great Grand Son is by Marsh Side, a son of Gone West out of a Pleasant Colony mare. We have placed several Marsh Side offspring, and the lucky people who have them report that they have great brains, and are excellent movers and jumpers. We have placed Marsh Side offspring into successful careers on the A level show hunter circuit, as well as rated eventing and dressage circuits. Great Grand Son’s dam side of his pedigree is also full of top sport horse sires, including Cozzene, Caro, and Maria’s Mon. The owner/breeder wants to make sure his beloved boy goes to an excellent home with the skills and experience to bring out his potential, and that will keep in touch and always let him know how his homebred boy is doing. For this reason, he has asked an FLF volunteer to serve as the contact person, who will screen potential homes and get references. The purchaser must be willing to sign a contract that includes no auction/dealers/slaughter, and a requirement to keep the owner/breeder informed about any subsequent homes.

DONTPOKETHEBEAR, 2019 15.3h bay filly

Located at Finger Lakes Racetrack, Farmington, NY (Near Rochester)

If you’re looking for an easy-going girl with a bit more go than whoa, Dontpokethebear is just the girl for you. Her trainer states that this beautiful filly is retiring sound after two very lackluster starts and is showing absolutely no talent as a racehorse. She showed off her relaxed easy manner, standing quietly to have her photos taken and jogging respectfully after just racing that day. She showed off lovely light flat kneed toe flicking movement that suggest she could make a fancy show hunter. Her trainer states that she has no vices and is easy to work around. Dontpokethebear is by Courageous Cat, a sought after sport horse sire known for offspring who are exceptional jumpers and good movers. We have placed several off his offpsring who are succeeding in eventing, jumping, show hunters and dressage. Her dam, Boys Running Wild, is from Deputy Minister and Private Account sire lines that are very popular in the sport horse disciplines. Don’t miss this very lightly raced filly who is an outstanding sport horse prospect!

What this flashy petite filly lacks in size she makes up for with good looks, beautiful movement, and a sweetheart personality. She is known around the barn as “Fifi,” and her connections report that she is “as sweet as can be. We witnessed this ourselves as we snuggled with Fifi in her stall while getting her llisting information. She is reported to be sound and her legs are clean. Fifi has had 5 starts but has yet to hit the board, so racing is not the career for her. With her chrome and dapples she sure can stand out in any show arena! She showed off a quiet naturally rhythmic and floaty trot that could make her a hunter ring star. Her connections report that she is straightforward to ride, lovely to handle, has no vices and is a barn favorite for sure. Fifi is by Central Banker, a son of Speightstown, who is known to throw well-brained ammy friendly sport horses. Her dam is by Girolamo, an AP Indy son.

Located at the Finger Lakes race track.

Okay, NYGiants Fans– here’s your chance to bring Eli into your family! This handsome young gentleman is not quite living up to the glory of his namesake Eli Manning, but that doesn’t mean that his athleticism won’t shine through in a new career. In the barn, he’s known as “hot rod” and his connections say that he is great to work around and well mannered. He is reported to have no stable vices, but he does know how to beg for bananas whenever he sees one in the shedrow. So, a home willing to provide bananas is essential for this cutie. His connections report that Hot Rod is just not showing enough speed to continue in race training, so he is looking for a discipline he can be more successful in. “Hot Rod” has had only one race this spring, and he showed no racing ability, so his owner wants to find him a new career. He is fully eligible for RRP in 2022 or 2023. At only 3 years old, he will continue to grow and fill out,Come get this “hot rod” today and see if Eli can bring home superbowl rings for you too!

He is by Beautyinthepulpit out of a Sky Classic mare.

Anchor Lady, 2018 15.2-3h chestnut filly

ANCHOR LADY, 2018 15.2-3h chestnut filly

Here she is, the first official FLF listing of 2022 — a cute moving sweetheart filly with a great sport horse pedigree. Anchor Lady was very sweet and friendly for her meet and greet with our volunteers. Her trainer said that the quiet and agreeable temperament that she showed off for us is how she always is. He described her as a kind and easy to handle filly with no vices who is very sound, and we observed tight and clean legs. She has had seven races and has not come close to hitting the board — she shows early speed and then retreats. Her trainer attests that she has no unsoundness or wind or breathing issues – she is just not competitive as a racehorse. He thinks that she could be a great horse for a kid working with a trainer; we also think that with her size and early speed she should be appealing as a polo prospect. But we also think that with her good build, lovely movement, and outstanding sport horse pedigree, she presents a very appealing eventing, hunter, or dressage prospect at an enticing bargain price. Her sire Anchor Down is a son of the great Tapit and Anchor Down excelled as a stakes winner going long on the turf. We know of several Anchor Down offspring that have transitioned successfully to sport horse careers. Her female family is full of top level stakes horses who excelled in long distance turf races in Europe — a definite recipe for success in eventing and jumping disciplines. Her dam Kidder Done is by Thunder Gulch, who has sired many level headed good movers and great jumpers succeeding in show hunter and jumping disciplines. Her dam has produced a stakes placed runner and others who have proven to be durable and sound big hearted hard trying race horses. Her second dam is a graded stakes winner on the turf in England who ran second in the Epsom Oaks and who is sired by a full brother to the great Sadler’s Wells, one of the best TB jumping/sport horse sires of all time. We see real diamond in the rough sport horse potential in Anchor Lady; when she gets re-muscled and her top line gets developed and her naturally good light movement is further developed, she has potential to be the sport horse star that her pedigree suggests she can be. Very motivated owner to find her a great new home at a bargain price.

FORZA JUVE, 2018 16h bay gelding

Located at a farm next to Finger Lakes Race Track, Farmington, NY (near Rochester)

Soccer fans will immediately know the meaning of this pretty and sweet young gelding’s name: “Come on Juve!” aka Juventus. Juve is described as a sweet and easy going horse, with no vices. We think he will be quite the looker once he matures and fills out. He has had only three starts, and in his last race he came back with a small chip in his knee. X-rays will be made available to seriously interested people. The trainer told us that the vet thinks that with the winter off, properly rested and rehabbed, that Forza Juve should be fine as a riding horse. He has already had 6 weeks of handwalking, and he is now jogging soundle and showing very nice movement at the trot. He is ready for turnout. Lower level jumping and flat work would be his best outlets. Forza Juve was very friendly and polite for his photo session, and we were quite taken with his kind eye, and sweet and willing attitude. He has a small bump on the back of one foreleg, from a cut when he was a baby and it is purely cosmetic. He is sired by Stephanoatsee, who is by AP Indy out of star broodmare Oatsee, which makes Stephanoatsee a half brother to Shackleford and many other stakes winners. Forza Juve’s dam is by Catineus out of a mare from Seeking the Gold lines.

BAY DEFENSE, 2015 16.1h+ bay gelding

Located on a farm near Finger Lakes Race Track, Farmington, NY (near Rochester)

This big, handsome gelding checks all the boxes of what everyone says they are looking for: uphill build, sound, clean legged, lightly raced, very good mover, kind temperament, upper-level sport horse potential. His current owner/trainer describes him as a very sweet horse who wants to please, and his groom at the track echoed that assessment, describing him as a very good, kind horse, classy and great to work with. He displayed his good sense during his photo session, when two horses on a nearby walking machine started bucking and acting up. Bay Defense just stood there looking on with interest, and never showed the slightest inclination to get agitated by their antics. His breeding is all class as well. He is by First Defence, a son of Unbridled’s Song out of a top stakes winning Seattle Slew mare, and his dam is a multiple stakes winner sired by Compliance, a son of Northern Dancer. He was a homebred for his previous connections, and they started racing him in 2019, then his owner sat out the entire racing season in 2020 due to Covid, and consequently Bay Defense came back to the races this year at 6. While he has had some 3rds and 4ths in his 7 starts, including at the top level Saratoga and Belmont tracks, he has yet to win, so his connections realize he needs to find a new career where he can excel. With his uphill build, strong shoulder, athletic very good movement, and top quality sport horse pedigree, we think this one has upper-level eventer or jumper written all over him.

It’s always a treat to get to list an impeccably clean and carefully tended to horse from this barn. Blue is described as very sweet and an easy filly to get along with. Her connections report that she has no vices, is sound, and retiring clean legged. They feel she would be best suited as an eventing horse as she prefers to run long. She had nice big feet that would support that idea! She is relatively lightly raced with only 9 starts. She earned over $25,000 with 2 wins, 2 seconds, and a third, but her connections feel she will not be suited for her current race conditions, and are ready to pass this gorgeous girl on to a new career. She is sure to be a head turner wherever she goes! She is another great option for RRP 2022! She is by Micromanage out of a out of a Straight Man mare
