“Someone is going to be very lucky to get this wonderful horse,” gushed his trainer as we took Reckless Place’s listing information. She said he’s a “very good boy,” always does what you ask, is friendly, sound, and has no vices. She said that someone at the track is interested in making him a pony horse because of his sensible brain and good work ethic, but she would rather see him go on to a new off track career. While he has won 4 races and had 21 top three finishes in his 48 start career, this year he has not been running as well, so she knows it is time to let him move on to new endeavors. We admired his handsome head and kind eye and his nicely balanced build, and we observed good feet and clean legs.  He showed nice even movement for his jog video. His trainer recommends an experienced rider who knows how to transition an OTTB to a new career, because he is “all go” galloping on the track. She reports that on the farm he settles right down, and has even been taught to free lunge, including changing direction. She says he is a smart horse and should quickly figure out that his new career is not “go go go” and will do whatever the rider asks.  Reckless Place is by Shanghai Bobby, a son of Harlan’s Holiday. His dam is by Smarty Jones out of a Holy Bull mare. In our experience, the Harlan’s Holiday line horses are big hearted hard trying horses, and we know of several Smarty Jones and Holy Bull line horses that have gone on to success in the hunter and jumper rings.
