We first observed this sweet, friendly mare relaxing in her stall and were immediately struck by the expansive width of her chest. She displayed a polite and workmanlike attitude, absolutely no stereo-typical chestnut mare attitude; instead, she was a complete and businesslike lady! She led quietly to the wash stall and stood patiently as the poultice was hosed off her legs. On such a dreary and rainy day, her photos don’t truly do her justice. She’s a thick, sturdy, solid mare. A true war horse with 66 starts, she’s been a consistent performer, demonstrating her durability. Her connections tell us that she is a “strong, happy filly who trains well and likes to work”. She seems to enjoy having a job and displayed a professional attitude during her photos session. We were told that she has no stable vices and is pleasant to work around, which is exactly what we saw. She was adorable when we brought out the peppermints- she daintily nibbled one and politely asked for more! We did note a soft swelling above her left knee- it was cold to the touch and did not seem to bother her when it was palpated; we were told that she has had that for a long time, run on it, and it has never bothered her or affected her soundness. She was agreeable, relaxed, and attentive during her jog video moving responsively to her handler.
She has been a solid performer for her connections and although they feel she is still happy, as she is getting older, they feel it is important to find her a good home and not return her to racing again next year. We’ve loved this hard-working mare since we first met her last year- she’s a durable war horse who has paid her dues and is very deserving of another career where she can be blossom and be successful. She will work hard for you in whatever you may ask her to do! Remoane is by Karakontie out of a Hard Spun mare.
UPDATE:
Remoane chalked up another win to fittingly cap off her successful racing career with a record of 68: 7-14-17. Her connections, who’ve had her for four years, are motivated to do right by her and find her the perfect home, but if they had their own breeding farm- they’d be keeping her! Her sire Karakontie is a grass-racing star who has won Grade I races in both Europe and the US (including the Breeder’s cup turf mile) and at stud, went on to sire many top stakes horses. Karakontie is by Bernstein, a popular sport horse sire and out of a Sunday Silence mare (Sunday Silence stood in Japan, so it is a rare opportunity to be able to get those bloodlines). Remoane’s dam is by Hardspun (Danzig lines). Her 2nd dam is a stakes winner by Speightstown and her 3rd dam is a multiple stakes winner. This classy mare has the brains, build, work ethic, and pedigree to excel as a sport horse, or a sport / race broodmare. Or both! And she’ll be one that you’ll enjoy seeing poke her head over the stall door every morning. A favorite on the track backside and with the volunteers, she’s one to see in person her photos on a dreary, drizzly day don’t capture how lovely she truly is.
