Located on a farm next to Finger Lakes Race Track, Farmington, NY (near Rochester).
This beautifully bred son of Bernardini out of a graded stakes producing mare by Dixieland Band was sold for $130,000 as a yearling, but you can get this lovely young guy now for a lot less than that! With two wins in 19 starts, he is finding the next level of competition a bit too much for him, so his trainer wants him to find a new discipline where he can excel — and we think his potential for sporting disciplines is unlimited!. He is described as completely sound and a good horse to handle with no issues or vices. We admired his good shoulder and strong hind end and pretty head with an alert kind expression. For his jog video he showed good flowing movement with nice reach from the shoulders. Read My Lips has an impeccable sport/jumping pedigree. His sire, champion Bernardini, is a son of AP Indy out of a mare by Quiet American, a son of Fappiano. His dam Stomping is by Dixieland Band, a Northern Dancer son, and out of a mare by Cyane from the Turn-To line. The sport horse world covets horses with Dixieland Band, Quiet American, Fappiano, or Turn-to in their pedigrees, and he has it all! Read My Lips is a quality horse and a very nice prospect for any discipline. When you add in his bargain price, this is one exciting prospect that we expect will go fast!
Price: $1,500
