First Ranger is another volunteer favorite for the weekend.  We posted a couple weeks ago about never underestimating the volunteer favorites *hint hint*.  On top of being a volunteer favorite, First Ranger is also a barn favorite.  He is reported to have “personality for miles” with a little bit a sass and a whole lot of fun.  Sounds like a cool guy to have in the barn!  His trainer reports he has no soundness or vices.  He has been a successful racehorse earning over $153,000 in his 41 starts with 6 wins, 2 seconds, and 6 thirds.  He is no longer as competitive as he once was, so his connections have decided to move him onto a new career.  We saw nice tight clean legs during his photo shoot and boy can First Ranger move!  He showed a reaching, ground covering trot that we think would stand out in the hunger ring, but surely he will be successful in any sporting discipline.  He is by Utopia out of an Elusive Quality mare.
