“Vaunted” means “highly or widely praised,” and that certainly fits this horse!  His trainer kept saying more and more good things about him — best brain, great to work with, can even groom and tack him up in the stall untied, lovely to gallop, sound with no vices.  When he came out of the barn, we oohed over his solid bodied build, and for a plain bay he exudes presence.  One of our volunteers said “this horse is sexy and he knows it!”  Vaunted also impressed us with his great movement, showing off a light trot with good reach from his shoulders and nice engagement from behind. We can see him excelling in the hunter ring, or in dressage, but he can go in any direction you want to take him in his new career.  His great temperament is no surprise when you consider his breeding — he is by Goldencents, a sire well known for getting very ammy friendly horses who are good jumpers and good movers.  His dam Dancing for Glory is by Exchange Rate, from Danzig and Seeking the Gold lines.  Vaunted has ten top three finishes in 25 starts, but he hasn’t been as successful in his races this year, so he is letting his connections know he would prefer a new career. Don’t  overlook this sexy guy just because he is a plain bay — those of us who have them know plain bays are the best!
