Located at Finger Lakes Race Track, Farmington, NY (near Rochester)
PJ, as her connections call her, is a stunning black beauty with a sport horse pedigree to drool over, and she has already been restarted by the owner/trainer’s teenage daughter with a good dressage oriented flatwork foundation, a couple of clinics and schooling shows, poles and cross-rails, and she has even been through a 2’3″ jump chute, showing willingness and good form. PJ had eight starts on the track in 2022 and 2023, with her best finish a third place. The trainer’s daughter was heading off to a college with a respected equestrian program in the fall of 2023, and since PJ was her favorite horse, and it wasn’t looking like racing was going to be her best game, PJ went to college too! Under the tutelage of the college program’s respected instructors, PJ and her teenage rider got a great restart flat work foundation. PJ was a quick learner, and showed excellent movement and dressage potential. The young woman who restarted PJ describes her as forward but willing and well behaved, and she said PJ has a lovely canter with a steady rhythm, but if you try to grab onto her mouth and hang on the reins she will get quick (a typical racehorse reaction). She also reports that PJ’s lead changes are so good that she started saying “switch your lead,” and she did! She rode PJ in flat classes in a college schooling show in blustery wet 40-degree weather and says that PJ was an angel. She has taken PJ on trail rides, and reports that PJ was good and didn’t look at much. She says that PJ is very friendly and loves attention. The college academic program did not prove to be a good fit for the trainer’s daughter, so she decided not to re-enroll for the current academic year. That meant she had to get a job that left her with no time or resources for a horse, and PJ went back to her track connections. PJ has been galloping on the training track, but it is obvious that the racetrack life is not for her. She is sound and her legs are clean except for a scar from when she was kicked as a youngster. PJ is by Central Banker, a son of Speightstown, and she is out of a Freud mare – great sport horse lines. PJ is a very good mover with a light and lofty step, and she has unlimited potential for many sport horse disciplines – we can see her eventing, jumping, or focusing on dressage. She presents a rare opportunity to get an athletic young TB with an excellent and patient restart foundation for less than the prices from some professional resellers, who usually do quick and minimal restarts.
