REBEL JACKSON, 2021 16h gelding

We think this flashy and sporty young guy has potential to be quite the jumper! We photographed Rebel Jackson just a few weeks after he had been gelded, and he had just been handwalking since then. Understandably, he was a bit excited to be outside and asked to jog, but he respected his handler, and showed off his athleticism. HIs trainer says that he is sound and clean legged, “but just not a racehorse.”  He has eight starts, and while he has finished in the money three times, he has yet to win. We were informed that he is has no vices, and is good to handle, although he had the typical young colt occasional mouthiness – something his handler remarked had already noticeably subsided since he was gelded.  Rebel Jackson is a stunning horse, with a balanced compact build, a shiny coat, and just enough chrome to get attention. Although his handler could not let him stride out for his jog video, he showed good engagement from behind and light step with some loft.  We think that once he has fully adjusted to life as a gelding and been let down from the track, he has potential to be a terrific sport horse.  He certainly has the pedigree for it.  His sire is Union Jackson, a son of Curlin out of a Dixie Union mare.  Union Jackson is now pursuing a sport horse career of his own, showing great aptitude. His dam, Entrustment, is by Forestry, and her pedigree is replete with illustrious TB sires who are sought out by the sport horse world, including Pleasant Colony, Private Account, Damascus, Buckpasser and Ribot.  Because of his youth and the fact that he was recently gelded, we think that Rebel Jackson would be best suited for someone with experiencing restarting young OTTBs for sport horse careers.  But for the right person who knows how to bring out his athletic talents, he could turn out to be quite a bargain.
