SASSIE, 2020 15.2+h bay filly

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

We think this pretty and refined ‘fun-size’ filly is misnamed- she is WAY more sweet than sassy! During our photo session, she was as agreeable, patient, and friendly as she was cute. We first observed her standing quietly on the road, loving on her handler while we finished up taking photos of another horse. We were quite impressed with how quiet she was for a three-year-old. We were told that she is very good in her stall, has no vices, and that she is  “A quiet ride. A very quiet ride.”  As she is not showing enough (LOL- read as ‘any’) racing talent in her breezes, her current owner does not want to incur the expense of wintering her so has decided to move her along to a new career. Although she has never started, she does have published workouts for this year, making her fully eligible for the RRP Makeover! She would be a lovely, sweet, fun, ammy-friendly project that we could easily see excelling in a hunter or dressage ring.  She comes from excellent connections whose horses are always well-handled and cared for.  And that should translate to an easy restart for you! We were told that she is not a dominant mare, but falls somewhere in the lower rungs in the herd hierarchy.  So she should adapt easily to any turnout arrangements. She seems to be the classic ‘nice, good girl’ in every way. We suspect that she is the type of girl who will relish your attention and affection, and enjoy being fussed over and pampered with long grooming sessions. Although she struck us as quite refined, this still-growing filly is well-constructed with nicely balanced proportions: a long, sloping shoulder and a deep body. Her legs are straight, cold and tight. She displayed some lovely, steady, rhythmic movement with good reach from her shoulder, a pretty walk and cute, light, springy trot. While we were videoing her, during the middle of her jog, someone right behind the green bin flapped out a tarp as she jogged by which would have spooked many much more seasoned horses, but she was relatively unfazed, settled, and trotted right on being quite professional about it. Her handler (in the video, you may hear him chastise the careless offender) seemed more distracted and upset about it than this unflappable filly!  Sassie is by Frank Conversation, who is a son of Quality Road.  Quality Road offspring are known for their great brains and friendly personalities, good movement, and jumping ability — they are highly sought after for sport horse disciplines. Sassie’s dam, Miss Tallahassee, is by Silver Deputy, who is from the Deputy Minister sire line.  mare. Notable influences in her pedigree include Quality Road/ Gone West lines and Deputy Minister.

ROYAL JUBILEE, 2020 15.3+h grey filly

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

This beautiful grey girl has a lot to offer besides her dappled beauty — she is very sweet, quiet and sensible, good to handle, sound and clean legged, and a lovely mover! And to add to that attractive package, she is very well bred, so she might be of interest to breeders in addition to people looking for a sport horse prospect. Royal Jubilee has won twice in 12 starts, but both of her wins were on a synthetic track at Gulfstream. Her trainer told us that she just doesn’t seem to like the dirt track, and since he doesn’t race at tracks with synthetic or turf, he would like to find her a new career. Royal Jubilee was perfectly behaved for her photo session, and she loved the peppermints that her trainer offered to her.  For her video, she walked and jogged quietly on a loose lead, and displayed a nice big walk with the overstep and swing that dressage riders look for, and the flowing light flatter kneed trot that show hunter riders look for.  We can see her excelling in either discipline — or in any other for that matter. Her toes are currently very long, and once she gets her feet properly trimmed, imagine how well she will move! Since she is only three, she will grow some more, and may top out at slightly over 16 hands.  She is from the first crop of Belmont winner Tapwrit, a son of the great Tapit out of a mare from Valid Appeal/In Reality and Roberto/Hail to Reason sire lines. Royal Jubilee’s dam Secret Return is by Put it Back, from the Honor and Glory/In Reality sire line. Her second dam is a graded stakes producer, and her third dam is the grade 1 stakes winner and producer Pretty Discreet, who produced Discreet Cat amongst other luminaries.  We mention her close relation to Discreet Cat because his offspring are great jumpers. Mares from Pretty Discreet’s direct female line have produced many top stakes winners.

MACHO REAL, 2018 16.1h chestnut gelding

Macho Real is the rea deal! This guy is the complete opposite of the “chestnut stereotype” as he is extremely easy to be around, and a total love bug in the barn! Despite shivering due to the cold, he happily stood for photos and scratches from our volunteers.  Macho’s connections state that he is vice and injury free.  It is reported that he is a “very good boy to ride”, he just has no enthusiasm for racing. The racing world’s loss is the show world’s gain! Macho is built beautifully, uphill with a strong shoulder.  He displayed a lofty, floaty trot that had our dressage-loving volunteer drooling, but we could see this horse getting noticed in any arena! Macho Real is by Macho Uno, who is by Holy Bull and with Blushing Groom lines, and his dam side boasts Unbridled- all sought after sport horse sires!  Don’t let this flashy, sweet boy pass you by!

MARCH MADNEZ PARTY, 2018 16h dark bay gelding

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

You don’t have to be an NCAA basketball fan to love March Madnez! Our volunteers fell in love with March, and the more we saw of hm the more we understood why his handler/contact person (the grandson of the trainer) adores this horse, has made him his beloved pet, and wishes he could keep him forever. He described March as a very personable horse, a “lover,” inquisitive and intelligent, with the best manners. March is also described as very sound with no issues, no vices, and a horse who turns out well with other horses and is just an all-around pleasure to have in your barn. We were drawn in by March’s big boned and solid bodied correct conformation, and his very friendly and laid-back attitude. He jogged very politely and quietly on a loose lead, and showed very nice balanced movement that had our show hunter volunteer and a show hunter shopper both liking him more and more. March won two races earlier this year, and since then he has had to race in “NW3” conditions, where he isn’t as competitive. So, despite their grandson’s desires, the owner/trainers think it is best to let March move on to a new career where his athleticism, soundness, and great brain will enable him to shine. But they will be very picky about the best of new homes for their beloved March!  He has an excellent pedigree for sport horse/jumping disciplines. His sire Desert Party is by Street Cry, and has sired several horses that we know of succeeding at upper levels in eventing and jumping — they are great jumpers! March’s dam is by Arch, from Kris S./Roberto sire lines, and out of a mare from Montbrook/Buckpasser lines.

SAMAY, 2015 16.1h dark bay gelding

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

Samay is the very definition of the durable great brained wise war horse who so very much deserves a great new post-racing home. He is described to us as an all-around good boy who is very intelligent, quiet and sensible, great to handle, and great to ride, and sound with no vices.  Samay has balanced conformation, a kind and intelligent eye, quiet demeanor, and nice movement. Samay has given his all to the many hands he has been through in his racing career, with 10 wins in 48 starts, and an additional 5 seconds and 9 thirds — a remarkable 50% in the money rate. Samay was a perfect gentleman for his photo session, standing like a model, and showing his kind and kissable personality. He is described as sound. While he does have minor ankle jewelry, it doesn’t bother him at all. He is so chill that when we started to video him and asked his handler to move on, Samay initially just stood there, enjoying posing.  He showed nice even and balanced movement, but he did seem a bit stiff in his shoulders as one would expect from a horse who has been raced 12 times this year and 17 times last year, but we were told that he loosens up nicely after a warmup.  To us, that means that Samay would love some down time turned out enjoying being a horse and would benefit from body work to get him started in his post track life. He is by Tizway, a son of Tiznow, and he is out of a mare who has all too rarely seen stout TB lines known for great sport horses: Farma Way/Foolsih Pleasure; Le Fableaux/Princequillo; Clever Trick/Icecapade; and In Reality.

MIAMI CHROME, 2018 16.1h chestnut gelding

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

This gorgeous horse is a son of California Chrome — our first ever offering by that much loved horse!  California Chrome didn’t have many US sired foals, and they rarely come to Finger Lakes, so Miami Chrome presents a special opportunity indeed. Miami Chrome was described as a quiet horse who is very good to handle, and quiet and well behaved under tack and on the track both in the mornings and afternoons. We first saw him in the wash stall, standing perfectly, and then he came out still wet, and even though there was still a morning chill in the air, he stood like a perfect statue for his photos. He seemed proud to show off his exceptional good looks! He displayed very good movement for his jog video, with an even well-balanced trot and a light flowing step with good engagement from behind.  Miami Chrome has a very slight old and tight bow on his left front that happened before he ever started racing. It obviously hasn’t impaired his racing soundness in the slightest — he’s been a durable racehorse, running consistently every two to three weeks without missing a dance. He has 6 wins, 6 seconds, and 8 third place finishes in 39 starts with over $110,000 in earnings.  He’s very well bred — in addition to being by the great California Chrome, his dam, who’s by Cat Thief, is a graded stakes producer, and his second dam, who’s from the Seattle Slew line, is a graded stakes winner.  California Chrome has an ideal pedigree to be an excellent sport horse sire; he is from the Pulpit/AP Indy and Cozzene/Caro sire lines out of a Not for Love mare. We admired a California Chrome son at the RRP this year, who did very well in the show hunters and was an excellent scopey jumper. We can see the same sport horse success in Miami Chrome’s future.

FLAT BILL, 2015 17h dark bay gelding

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

When Flat Bill came out of the barn to wait his turn to be photographed, we looked over and said “wow, who’s that elegant tall dark and handsome horse?!” Flat Bill is a wise old soul, with a classy “been there done that” demeanor that one would expect for such a durable, big hearted, sound campaigner.  He has had 73 starts, with 9 wins, 17 seconds, and 9 thirds, and over $169,000 in earnings. And he is as sound and clean legged and happy with life as they come!  His owner/trainer says that he is an all around great horse, good to handle and work with in his stall, good to ride, no vices, never had any soundness issues with him. He posed like a model, never moving a muscle, and he jogged quietly and politely, showing off very good movement that had us thinking he could be a great dressage horse or eventer.  He had very good hind end engagement and looked sound and steady. Flat Bill is by Regal Ransom, a son of Distorted Humor out of a mare from Roberto and Deputy Minister lines.  There aren’t very many Regal Ransom offspring, because he died after siring only 4 crops, and Flat Bill is from the last of those crops.  Regal Ransom has been a sire sought after in the sport horse world, and this may be your last chance to acquire one of his offspring. To make his sport horse pedigree even more enticing, Flat Bill’s dam is by Maria’s Mon.

JACKSON BAY, 2019 16h bay gelding

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

A volunteer favorite for the day! Cute, sweet, gentle, sound, lovely mover… our notes on the adorable Jackson Bay are just full of superlatives!  His trainer told us that Jackson acts like a track pony type of horse, which means unflappable, friendly, steady and quiet.  He also told us that Jackson is easy to handle, has no vices, is a sweet and very sound horse, and we saw very clean legs. We admired Jackson Bay’s balanced, solid boned, compact build, and his kind eye.  For his jog video he walked calmly on a loose lead, stood still as his trainer petted him, and showed off nice light movement with good reach from the shoulders at the trot. While Jackson Bay has finished second and third a few times, he has yet to win in 13 races, so his trainer knows it’s time to let him find a new career. He has no limitations for any discipline you want to pursue. Because of his quiet kind temperament, he could be a good prospect for a teen working with a trainer.  He is sired by Union Jackson, who’s a son of the great Curlin out of a Dixie Union mare.  We’ve seen several Union Jackson offspring lately, and they are all sweet, quiet, and lovely movers. Jackson Bay’s dam, Malibu Citi, is by Malibu Moon out of a mare by Citidancer, which brings in another strand of Dixieland Band.

LETTERCARRIERHENRY, 2016 15.3+h bay gelding

Located at Finger Lakes Racetrack, in Farmington, NY (near Rochester)

If you’re looking for a horse that is loaded with personality, then Lettercarrierhenry is the horse for you! “Hen Hen” as dubbed by his groom, is reported to be a “total ham”, which our volunteers also witnessed as he begged for kisses and made funny faces to garner attention. His connections report that he completely relaxes on the farm. They also say he is sound and has never had any injuries. He is even reported to be good to be clipped. Hen Hen is a solid bodied beefcake, and will certainly take up a ton of leg. Eventers take note- on his way out to his photo shoot, he had to cross through some “water” and didn’t hesitate. He stood and posed perfectly for his photo shoot, showing off his desirable uphill build and strong shoulder. While he was just a bit up for his jog after being off of work since his race 5 days before, he remained respectful of his handler and showed off a lovely toe pointy trot. Hen Hen is by the highly sought after Frost Giant known for throwing athletic babies with huge success in both the Eventing and Dressage arenas. If adorable, bay, chunky, hunky, and loaded with personality are all on your check list, then you won’t want to miss out on Lettercarrierhenry!

MISSION CAT, 2017 15.3h gray mare

Located at Finger Lakes racetrack in Farmington, NY (near Rochester, NY) 

Gorgeous gray alert! Mission Cat is a very pretty, lovely dapple-gray mare, and she is by Mission Impazible, a much sought after stallion for sport horse disciplines known for offspring with great brains, kind temperaments, and great jumping ability. We were dazzled by her beautiful expression, elegant neck and feminine head with an Arab look to it. She’s nicely balanced with an athletic, close-coupled solid build, correctly set underpinning, and powerful hindquarters. She gives the impression of being alert, confident, and agile. We were told that the lovely Mission Cat is very good in her stall without any vices and is also very good to pony. Her handlers tell us that deep-down, they think she has “an eventer’s heart”; she has a touch of spice and is always eager to go, so perhaps that may be her calling! During her jog video her footfall was so light that we had to do a double take to make sure she had shoes on. In addition to being so light on her feet, she displayed lovely movement with great reach from the shoulders and a pretty, toe-flicking trot.  She’s lightly raced with 16 starts and has a record of 2-5-1 with over $60k in earnings. Last year, she raced at the allowance level, but this year, in order to get another win, her trainer had to drop her to the bottom claiming level. They think that it will be hard for her to win at the next “NW3” race condition level, so they would like to move her on to a new career. She has no limitations for any new discipline. Mission Cat is by Mission Impazible, who is from Unbridled’s Song and Hold Your Peace/Speak John lines.  Everyone who has had the good fortune to have a Mission Impazible offspring for sport disciplines races about them and says they are very ammy friendly and they would gladly have more! Mission Cat’s dam is by Forest Wildcat and out of a mare from teh Well Decorated/Raja Baba sire line.

LABAN N MO, 2019 16.3h dark bay gelding

Located at Finger Lakes racetrack in Farmington, NY (near Rochester, NY).

When we first heard his name, we assumed he was by Laoban, a son of Uncle Mo, and thus we expected to see the typical Uncle Mo progeny walk out:  tall, dark, and handsome with good bone and an excellent brain. And we were right on all of these counts!  Laban M Mo’s groom said he has a great personality and is super to work around without any vices. That’s exactly what we observed. He was a friendly, curious, and personable peppermint hound during his photo shoot. He’s a big, young, physically impressive horse with width and depth, standing squarely on straight, correct legs with good bone. He has nice feet with a decent heel. And all of this is packaged in a rich, almost black, velvety coat. While he needs to fill out from his racing physique and develop a topline, just imagine how stunning he can be once this happens!  He was relaxed and respectful  durin his video- he displayed a relaxed, swinging walk with nice overstep and an easy, fluid trot with spring and good push from behind. With his lovely movement, we could see him doing equally well in hunters, dressage, or eventing. He’s got a huge stride too- even though he is jogging at an easy, relaxed pace, his handler is getting quite the work out! He is clearly a barn favorite, and we overheard many comments to that effect as we were taking our photos. He has a solid racing record, with 3 wins, and 7 additional top three finishes in 23 starts. Last year he was winning at the allowance leverl but his year, he has yet to win even when dropped into the lowest claiming levels. Thus, his trainer realizes that he woudl prefer a new career, and she wants to move him on while he is still s sound and happy Mr. Tall Dark and Handsome. He has unlimited potential for any discipline, but with his lanky frame and size and laid back personality combined with athleticism,  we can see him excelling as a fox hunter, or an eventer.  Laban M Mo is by Laoban, who is a son of Uncle Mo out of a Speightstown mare.  Horses from the Uncle Mo line are usually great jumpers — indeed, an Uncle Mo offspring won the show hunter division in this year’s RRP.  Laban M Mo’s dam is by Forefathers, who si by Gone West, and her dam comes from the In Reality sire line.

NO LIME, 2017 16.1+ grey gelding

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

Meet the droolworthy No Lime — big, grey, gorgeous, fabulous mover, sweet and quiet temperament!  Photos just do not do this one justice — you have to see him in person to appreciate how gorgeous he is. Our volunteers who saw him all wanted to covet him for themselves, but since our barns and budgets are full, you get the chance to grab this beautiful horse to pursue your sport horse dreams.  No Lime’s owner brought him over to where we were photographing another horse for a different trainer, and No Lime stood around so quietly just waiting for his turn that we all turned around and said “who is that!”  When we heard his name, we immediately started making Margarita jokes…. and then we learned that he got his name because his original owner also owned a tequila distillery!  The contact person for No Lime, who has often ponied him in the mornings and afternoons, tells us that she has adored this horse for the two years she has been working with him. She raved about how good he is to gallop, and to pony, and to handle and work around.  She says he is a very sensible, kind, quiet,  and friendly horse who never does anything wrong.  She says he is sound but noted that he has a slight filling in his left front lower suspensory area that is only apparent when flexed and that he has had for a while and has raced on with no issues.  He has no limitations for any new discipline at any level you want to go to. As much as we admired No Lime’s beauty while he posed for his photos, our admiration increased when we saw him jog. He jogged quietly on a loose lead and displayed very good movement, with a nice overtrack at the walk and hind end loft, front shoulder reach, and a natural tendency to stretch his neck and head down at the trot. No Lime has 4 wins in 35 starts, but in his 7 races this year he has only managed one third, so his owner, who is also a groom at the track, realizes that it is time to let him find a new career. No Lime is by Flashback, who is a son of Tapit out of a mare from Mr. Greeley/Gone West Lines. No Lime’s dam is by During, who is from Runaway Groom/Blushing Groom lines.

FAR AWAY LOOK, 2018 16.1h dark bay gelding

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

Far Away Look is stunningly gorgeous and a very well bred son of Liam’s Map out of a Tiznow mare. His third dam is the dual US and Canadian champion and Hall of Fame member Dance Smartly — who also produced Dance With Ravens, one of the most sought-after sires for sport horses.  In his last race in mid-August, Far Away Look incurred an ankle injury, and while he cannot race anymore, the vet prognosis for a useful riding career is excellent.  He has been on stall rest, and has progressed to walking, so a good chunk of his rehab is already out of the way. The trainer will make x-rays available to seriously interested people. We were told that Far Away Look has been a model citizen during his rehab, is good to handle without vices, and he was friendly and inquisitive with us.  He posed perfectly and was very well behaved for his walk video on a blustery day.  He has a very solid build with beautiful balanced conformation and a well developed topline, and a very kind eye.  This stunning guy is well worth your patience in completing the rehab and starting him back with groundwork and then riding in the spring.

HEAD CASE, 2020 16h dark bay filly

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

This gorgeous young daughter of Central Banker  showed great racing promise in her one start, finishing a good second in a maiden special weight to an undefeated star.  But, unfortunately, she came out of that race with a sesamoid injury. We were told that the vet prognosis was that with proper time and rehab, she could be fine for a riding career, and of course, with her solid bodied good looks and nice pedigree, she also would make a great broodmare for racing or for sport horse breeding. Head Case is a barn favorite, due to her great attitude, the athletic talent she has displayed, and her beauty and disposition. She is now well along in her rehab, the stall rest period is over, and she is being handwalked.  We took a walk video so you can see her progress.  She will be ready soon for confined turnout, and if you continue proper rehab, she should be ready to start groundwork and riding in early spring. We were told that Head Case has handled her period of stall rest very well, remaining alert and happy and good to handle,  and we observed a friendly filly who enjoyed attention. She was amazingly quiet and sensible for her walk video for a young horse who had been on stall rest. She is by Central Banker, who is by the great Speightstown. Central Banker is siring several horses who have proven to be great jumpers, and are doing well in hunters, jumpers, and eventing. Her dam, Courageous Angel, is by Courageous Cat, whose offspring are great jumpers. Her second dam is a multiple stakes producer by Devil’s Bag, who is from the Halo/Hail to Reason sire line.  Please give this gorgeous young filly a chance to enjoy a great new post-track life!

BRIT’S UNION, 2020 16.1+h chestnut gelding

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

Bruit’s Union is a lightly raced, still growing youngster who hasn’t shown much racing ability in 6 starts.  But racing’s loss is the sport horse world’s gain, because Brit is full of potential for any sport horse discipline.  Brit’s trainer, who also gallops him, told us he’s “amazing to ride.” Right after he first acquired Brit, he popped on him and they calmly walked over to the training track. The trainer says that although he’s perfectly behaved  rit he can be a horse with higher energy and a playful personality. He is also sweet and snuggly boy- and we observed him loving on his trainer (see photo).    Brit is a handsome horse,  well balanced, with a slightly longer body type, gorgeous neck, and powerful hindquarters. During his jog,  we observed forward movement with nice reach from the shoulders and good engagement from behind that looked uphill, athletic, and well balanced.  Because Brit is young and energetic, he would be better sited for an experienced rider with ambitions to go up the levels in sport horse disciplines. He is by Union Jackson, a son of Curlin out of a Dixie Union mare.  Union Jackson was recently retired from stud and is now embarking on his own new career as a sport horse. Brit’s dam, Brit’s Union, is by Van Nistlerooy out of a Clever Trick mare.  This brings in the Icecapade sire line, one that’s not seen often enough anymore, and was a favorite of steeplechasers and eventers. Brit is the type of horse that so many sasy they are looking for- a young, lightly raced, solid, slightly flashy, nice-sized, gelding that is athletic, good to ride, and snuggly in his stall. We  should be deservedly popular with many shoppers.

YES YOUR HONOR, 2017 15.1h bay mare

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

This mare is a beloved homebred, affectionately called “my little cupcake” by her trainer. He describes her as being “super sound, excellent to ride, and easy to work with in the stall” and a mare who loves attention. We saw a sweet, friendly mare who affectionately nuzzled her handler. If you want a horse who enjoys being groomed and fussed over, Yes Your Honor is for you.  She has a compact, solid, thick, uphill build combined with a classically pretty feminine head and neck. During her jog, she displayed animated movement with spring and suspension.  She has had a respectable racetrack career with 23 starts, earning just over $35K. But her trainer knows that it is time for her to move on to do something else.  She is by Brilliant Speed, who’s a son of Dynaformer — a sire known for siring durable horses who love to jump. Brilliant Speed’s dam comes from Gone West and Deputy Minister lines, also great sport horse sires.  Her dam Honor N’Charm is by Honor Grades, who is a half-brother to AP Indy by Danzig.

MOUNTAIN TREE, 2017 16.2+h dark bay gelding

Trust our volunteers who see all the horses — this big guy is one of the nicest sport horse prospects we have listed this year (or any year for that matter)!  You can’t beat his pedigree if you are looking for a big sound gelding for eventing or dressage:  He is by Verrazano out of a Malibu Moon mare.  His trainer says he is “sound as a bell,” and we observed clean tight legs.  He gleams with dapples, although on the cloudy day on which we photographed him, they don’t stand out. He has an uphill build with a strong shoulder and good hip angles, and he has such a kind eye. His trainer reports that Mountain Tree is an even-keeled very sensible horse, and an in your pocket people lover who loves mints.  He says that Mountain Tree loves to be outside and riding out and about — he rides him all around the stable area and on their farm.  Sounds like Mountain Tree would love going cross country or on a hunter pace!  He has earned over $100,000 in his 50 start career, but he has yet to finish in the top three in 6 starts this year, so his trainer thinks it is best to let him move on to a new career.  For his video, he showed a good push and engagement from behind, and a flowing big step. Mountain Tree’s sire Verrazano — who is by More Than Ready out of a Giant’s Causeway mare — has quickly become a very popular sport horse sire, known for the great brains, easy trainability, and jumping ability of his offspring. Mountain Tree’s dam, Charade, is by Malibu Moon — another coveted sport horse sire — out of a mare from Deputy Minister and Hoist the Flag lines.  For those of you who don’t have the huge budget that big young geldings with great sport horse potential usually require, Mountain Tree is offered at an enticing bargain price. He is the perfect age to transition to a new career — physically and mentally mature and ready for a new job.

PRINCESS RILEY, 2019 16+h dark bay filly

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

When we first saw Princess Riley, the phrase “built like a brick house” immediately came to mind.  She’s solid bodied, beautiful, and a wow mover! She’s also sound and clean legged.  We see exciting sport horse potential for this lovely velvety dark filly.  Princess Riley is a homebred whose trainer tells us that she is “Slow. She breaks slow and that affects her whole race”. In 10 starts, she has yet to win, although she has managed to finish second three times. While racing isn’t her calling, with her balance and movement, this sturdy, booty-licious filly could easily excel in a variety of other sports. She has the pretty looks and floaty movement to succeed in the hunter ring or in dressage, and eventing might be right up her alley too.  She was very well behaved for her jog video on a cold blustery day that had many other horses on the high side.  She displayed a light floaty trot with big reach from her shoulders and strong engagement from behind.  Princess Riley is sired by Union Jackson, a son of Curlin, who was recently pensioned from stud duty and rehomed through New Vocations for a sport horse career. Hmmm, perhaps daughter and father will meet in the show ring someday! Princess Riley is out of a mare by the great Ghostzapper. Other notable sires in her pedigree include Deputy Minister, Dixie Union, Dixieland Band, Relaunch, and Secretariat.

TWO COLOR MAP, 2019 15h chestnut gelding

Located at Finger Lakes racetrack in Farmington, NY (near Rochester, NY).

Good things do come in small packages! And sometimes, they’re attached to a beautiful Fabio forelock and have plenty of flashy chrome to boot. The super cute Two Color Map was described to us as being “very cool” and “very nice to deal with”. His trainer says he’s good to ride but can be playful. His playful side also comes out in his stall — displaying a sense of humor- he enjoys soaking his tail in his water bucket and swishing it at unsuspecting humans. We admired his well filled-out topline. He has a compact and powerfully built body with good width to his chest, strong underpinning, and nice feet. And that face! He really is adorable. And quite flashy. And we think that he knows it too and might be a bit of a ham. Although he was a little “happy” on a rather chilly and windy day for his jog video (he even managed to sneak in a collected canter step or two), he was easily contained by his handler.  He showed off very good light and balanced movement. He seems like a good-feeling horse who is agile and clever on his feet, and that might excel in a variety of disciplines- either english or western. In 19 starts, he has “run some good races” but as the race season is winding down, he is at a point where he isn’t as competitive so his connections would like him to let him find success in a second career. Two Color Map is a very well-bred horse. He is by Liam’s Map, a son of Unbridled’s Song, who has quickly become a favorite sire of several leading OTTB resellers who aim at the sport horse market, known for offspring with good brains, good movement, and good jumping ability. Two Color Map’s dam,  Zamquick, is a stakes placed daughter of Pomeoy, who is from Danzig and Seeking the Gold sire lines. She also has Gone West on her damsire line.

VOLKER RULES, 2020 15.3h bay gelding

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

 If you’re looking for an adorable, lightly raced young horse with loads of personality and unlimited potential for sport horse disciplines, Volcker is your guy.  His trainer says he’s a cute and friendly horse who is very good to handle, and we saw this for ourselves as he stood perfectly without being tied while being groomed for his photoshoot and offered his nose to volunteers for smooches. His race connections say that Volcker is sound, never had any injuries, has no vices, but he’s just too slow to be a racehorse, and that he much prefers napping to racing! He has a compact uphill build and solid bone, and the most adorable face.   Volcker Rules was perfectly behaved during his jog despite some excitement next to him by horses on the walker. He displayed a natural over track at the walk and a cute flat kneed jog that would show well in the hunter ring.  Volcker is by Central Banker, a son of Speightstown, who is quickly becoming a favorite sport horse sire, known for offspring who are good jumpers, have ammy-friendly brians, and  versatile off-track abilities in multiple disciplines.   Volcker’s dam is by Data Link, from the War Front/Danzig line, and her dam is from the Johannesburg/Hennessey sire line.  Volcker Rules is offered at a bargain price for a young, sound, cute, good moving gelding with a lot more growing to do.

THAT WORKS, 2021 15h bay gelding

That Works has incredible build and conformation for a 2-year-old that absolutely works! On a day when many horses that we saw were rattled by the wind and everything blowing in it, this guy stood statue still for his photo shoot. He is reported to always be that quiet, with no bad habits, no vices, and no prior injuries, just very, very slow. He is reported to be very easy to work around and good to ride as he “never does anything wrong”. For his jog video, That Works demonstrated a natural over track at the walk and a light, flat kneed trot. He was so well behaved, our volunteers asked multiple times to be sure he was actually only 2! That Works is by The Factor who is known for throwing babies with excellent brains and jumping ability. On the dam side, That works boasts Street Sense and AP Indy, both also known for having sensible, trainable offspring. If a sensible, blank slate is what you are after, That Works will work for you!

STORMANDY, 2020 16h grey gelding

If you’re looking for a super level-headed, relaxed youngster then Stormandy is your guy! He was so relaxed, in fact, on the windy day that made all the other horses a bit excited, that the volunteers couldn’t get him to stop resting a leg during his photo shoot.  According to his connections, Stormandy is always this relaxed and does not require a pony to the races.  He is reported to have no known vices or injuries.  Her enjoyed the attention from the adoring volunteers while they offered him pets and snuggles.  He showed a natural over track at the walk and jogged lazily beside his handler despite the banging shed door.  He didn’t show off his movement well, but our volunteers watched his race 11/6 and he displayed a light, lofty jog- even after a close win!  Stormandy is by Mastery, who is by Candy Ride, both sought after stallions for their athleticism and excellent brains.  He is out of a Tale of the Cat mare. At only 3, this guy’s potential is unlimited, and his striking good looks are sure to get you noticed in any arena!

MAGIC PRO, 2019 16h bay gelding

We watched this cute young son of Brethren (Super Saver’s brother!) get groomed in his stall to prepare for his photo session, and we can attest that he was a very good boy. His groom told us he’s a nice horse, good to work with, quiet and well behaved. He has a nice uphill and compact bodied build with good bone that suggests he could make an excellent jumper and sport horse. We also admired his kind eye and alert intelligent expression. His owner tells us that Magic Pro is very sound, and we observed nice clean legs, but that he just isn’t competitive in the class of races he now has to run in after breaking his maiden. Magic Pro has 1 win and 4 additional top three finishes in 29 starts, and he is fully eligible for the 2024 RRP. As we started to video him, Magic Pro waited patiently for a horse going to the track to walk by, but when his groom turned him around to jog, he probably thought he too was going to the track, because he got a bit on the muscle as he trotted after the horse heading to the track. But he remained politely respectful of his handler, and showed good push for behind and athletic looking movement. We think this young gelding has great sport horse potential. He is by Brethren, who is by Distorted Humor and out of the dam of Super Saver — Super Saver is a sire loved by people in sporting disciplines, so Magic Pro’s close connection to him bodes well for a sport horse career. Magic Pro’s dam is by Awesome of Course, from the Awesome Again/Deputy Minister sire line, and she’s out of an AP Indy mare. Further evidence of the quality in Magic Pro’s pedigree is that his third dam was a European champion. Magic Pro is offered at a great bargain price for a young athletic well bred gelding with unlimited potential for any discipline.

REMEMBER NORMANDY, 2019 15.3h bay gelding

If sweet and easy going are at the top of your checklist, then you will definitely want to check out “Norman”! This young guy is reported to be as levelheaded as he is good looking, even his trainer’s daughter who ponies horses at the track in the afternoon said she would ride him. He is reported to have no vices and to have no injuries. Norman’s current connection have had him his entire race career and have had him at their farm in the off season. They state that he is super easy on the farm with no bad habits.  Norman posed perfectly for his photo shoot and loved having our volunteers give him pats and scratches.  Norman displayed a natural over track at the walk on a loose lead.  He showed natural loft and suspension at the jog.  Remember Normandy is by Normandy Invasion, who is by Tapit, and both are known for throwing trainable, ammy friendly brains.  He is out of a Century City mare who has Danzig lines. This smart, sensible young gelding checks so many boxes, you won’t want to miss him!

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

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

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

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

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

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

IOVA, 2018 16.1h chestnut mare

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

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

HANGOUT, 2018 16.2h dark bay gelding

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

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

DUCK POND ROAD, 2017 15.3h bay gelding

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

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

STORMY NEW YORK, 2017 15.2+h bay gelding

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

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

SMART STORM, 2019 16.2h bay gelding

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

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

REGAL EMPIRE, 2019 15.3H BAY GELDING

Located at Finger Lakes Race Track, Farmington NY Rochester)

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

R BOY BODE, 2016 15.1+h chestnut gelding

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

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

AFTER ALPHA, 2019 15.2h bay filly

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

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

SMOOTH OPERATION, 2016 15.3h bay gelding

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

BOBBY RIDE, 2020 16.1h bay gelding

BOBBY RIDE, 2020 16.1h bay gelding

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

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

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

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

BENCH WALK, 2019 16 h bay colt

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

YOUR AWESOME BOSS, 2017 16.1+h bay gelding

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

WINNING WITHHONOUR, 2010 16.3h bay gelding

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

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

BROADWAY BANKER, 2020 16.1h chestnut gelding

Located at his owner’s farm near Saratoga.

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

WINTER SIREN, 2019 16h liver chestnut filly

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

ROZ, 2019 16h dark bay filly

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

JUDGE CARR, 2010 16.1H, chestnut gelding

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

THE GRAND CANAL, 2016 16.2h bay gelding

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

WESWORLD, 2017 16.1h chestnut gelding

What a hunk!  Wesworld is a solid bodied boy — and adorable as well with his unique spotted face.  A true barn favorite beloved by many on the backside, his trainer says he’s her big pet.  She has even trained him to bow for treats, which he obligingly showed off for us. She claimed him two years ago, and soon learned she had just acquired a horse with an infected hind leg and white line disease.  She poured her time, love, and funds into getting Wesworld back to full health, with good feet.  She reports that he is completely sound, and we observed clean and tight legs. Since she got him back to the races last summer, he has accumulated lots of third and fourth place finishes last year and this year, but winning seems elusive, so she wants to find a new career for her beloved boy where he can succeed. With his solid uphill build, strong shoulder and hind end, combined with an outstanding sport horse pedigree, we can see Wesworld shining in many disciplines. His trainer — who also gallops him — says he is strong to gallop, so she would recommend an experienced rider. We saw Wesworld three days after he had raced, and he was very laid back for his jog video — a slow western jog was his agenda.  Wesworld is sired by Verrazano, who is from the More Than Ready/Halo sire line and out of a Giant’s Causeway mare.  With this pedigree it’s hardly a surprise that Vaerrazano is sought out as a sport horse sire, known for producing good brained horses.  Wesworld’s s dam is by Hard Spun, a Danzig son who is another popular sport horse sire.

NEWPORT MITTENS, 2020 15.3h bay gelding

When the trainer messaged us about this cute stocky guy, she wrote in all caps: “BARN/BACKSIDE FAVORITE OF ALL TIMES!!!”  She describes him as a loveable ham, who just loves people and attention. We agree — he is adorable, and loved our attention as we took his photos and told him how cute he is.  Racing clearly is not his game — in three starts he has been beaten a total of 80 lengths. With his light and lofty movement with enticing suspension, we can see him excelling in dressage, but he has unlimited potential for any new discipline.  He currently has a skin condition that the vet thinks is a reaction to something in the track environment, possibly in the track surface since he developed the rash after he started working out on the main track in May. It is clearing up and does not bother Mittens.  The trainer reports that while he was on the farm over the winter his coat was fine. Newport Mittens is by Lookin at Lucky, who is by Smart Strike out of a Belong to Me mare.  Lookin at Lucky is deservedly becoming a popular sport horse sire, known for siring horses with good brains and friendly temperaments.  Mittens’ dam is by City Zip. 

The best of homes is a must for this beloved barn pet!
