FLUORESCENT BAY, 2019 16.2h dark bay/black gelding

This stunning black beauty is exactly the big , young, sound, great moving gelding with unlimited sport horse potential and a wonderful sport horse pedigree that everyone says they want! Fluorescent Bay is lightly raced, with only 13 starts, but he has shown no aptitude for racing — but we think he has great potential for a sport horse career. He got a late start to his racing career because he wasn’t given a proper start by the training center that his breeder sent him to when he was 2, and his new connections had to start from scratch when they got him as a three-year-old. His current trainer reports that his naturally kind nature has fully emerged, and that he is now a good horse to handle who has been very straightforward to gallop (he gallops his own horses, so this is first-hand information). Fluorescent Bay started his racing career at the top level NYRA tracks such as Saratoga and Belmont, and while he liked to run long on the turf, he wasn’t competitive enough at this top level racing circuit, so his connections sent him to Finger Lakes earlier this summer. He has shown no affinity for the hard dirt track and sprint-oriented races at Finger Lakes, so his connections realize that while racing may not be his game, he has outstanding aptitude for a new career. He is fully eligible for the 2025 RRP. His trainer reports that he has no vices, has always been sound and has never had any injuries or soundness issues — and we observed nice clean legs. He has good bone, a great sloping shoulder, a regal presence, and a kind eye. He was a well-behaved gentleman for his photo session, agreeably letting his trainer move him around as we requested. When his trainer jogged him for our video, on a long loose lead he kindly went right along with what he was asked and displayed a big swinging walk and a long-strided trot with flat kneed movement and reach from the shoulders. With his great movement we think he could shine in the hunter ring, or in dressage/eventing. While we loved him as an upper level sport horse prospect from our in-person inspection, when we looked up his pedigree our enthusiasm for his sport horse potential was even greater. Fluorescent Bay is sired by Creative Cause, a son of Giant’s Causeway, and both sires are well known for horses who are very good jumpers, have endurance and boldness, and have gone on to great success in eventing, as well as in show hunters and jumpers. His dam is by Wild Again, a son of Icecapade, and out of a mare by Lord at War with Seattle Slew on the dam side. Those who follow TB pedigrees that have done well in jumping disciplines will know that these are excellent sport horse bloodlines, known for stoutness and durability and jumpi and cross country aptitude.
