Located at Finger Lakes Race Track, Farmington NY (near Rochester)
If you are looking for a huge, gorgeous, young unraced sport horse prospect, then look no further than the stunning Sky Matrix. His photos do not do him justice – you must see him in person to fully appreciate how gorgeous he is! He has a very thick and solid bodied build with massive bone that will fit right in with warmbloods in the show ring. Sky Matrix had a prior sesamoid injury that was fully rehabbed and he started galloping and breezing on the track this year — his most recent published workout is September 8. Although he’s handling the speed workouts well and staying sound, his trainer thinks that he is too big to hold up to the rigors of racing at a hard speed-oriented track like Finger Lakes. The trainer would prefer to find him a new career. Because Sky Matrix has published workouts this year he is fully eligible for the 2025 RRP. Both the trainer and Sky’s groom told us that Sky is a well-behaved gentleman, has no vices, and is good to handle and nice to ride. He is a very good mover, with powerful engagement from behind, loft to his step, and reach from his shoulders. Sky has potential for any discipline, and we know of many horses who had similar prior injuries and are successfully competing in eventing, jumping, dressage and other disciplines. He is sired by Sky Mesa, a son of Pulpit from the A.P. Indy sire line, who is a favorite sire for sport horse people. Sky Mesa offspring are known for good brains and jumping ability. Sky Matrix’s dam, Bedside Manner, is a stakes winning and stakes producing daughter of Dr. Blum who is sired by the great Dr. Fager. It is rare to see Dr. Fager/Rough and Tumble lines this close in TB pedigrees today, but those who follow pedigrees known for durability and sport horse aptitude love these lines.
Price: $3500 negotiable to an excellent home
