Located at Finger Lakes Race Track, Farmington NY (near Rochester)
This adorable, and very sweet guy is nothing like his namesake – he is perhaps “CuddlesRex”, or “Sweetpuppydog Rex,” but certainly not the ferocious dino T-Rex. Rex is a kind, quiet, loving, friendly young TB who is just not cutting it as a racehorse but who has exciting potential for many other sport horse disciplines. He has 19 starts, with another entry this coming week, and no wins, But he keeps finishing in the money and grinding out just enough checks for his track connections to keep trying with him, since they say he is sound and happy to go to work. But they are looking ahead to the handwriting on the wall: Rex will not be eligible to race if he becomes a 6 yo maiden, and even if he somehow wins a race before the Finger Lakes race meet ends later this fall, then he will not be competitive in the next level of racing conditions. Rex’s talents clearly lie elsewhere than racing — with his solid bodied good looks, quiet laid back temperament, and beautiful movement, wow does he have the potential to excel as a show hunter or in other sport horse disciplines including dressage and eventing and jumping. On the day we photographed him we had two A-circuit show hunter riders/trainers with us, and they loved Rex! We were told that Rex is a sound, quiet, friendly horse who is good to handle and has no vices. We observed clean legs. He has a pedigree that shouts jumping sport horse potential. His sire is Temple City, a son of the great Dynaformer. Eventers covet both Dynaformer bloodlines, and Temple City’s offspring. Rex’s dam Five Star Royalty comes from Carson’s City/Blushing Groom/Cox’s Ridge/Secretariat lines…enough said. In addition to posing perfectly and cuddling with his handler, for his jog video Rex jogged quietly on a loose lead and showed beautiful flowing flat kneed movement with good reach from the shoulders that had the show hunter onlookers getting quite excited about him.
Rex is fully eligible for the 2025 RRP, and we would love to see him competing there!
Price: $4500 negotiable
