I claimed my first horse!
I am officially a thoroughbred race horse owner! I claimed (along with my partner, and a very good friend, and my trainer) a 3 year old filly yesterday at Golden Gate Fields. She was recommended by my trainers Dad who saw her down in SoCal and really liked her. We were worried before we claimed her, she was wearing front wraps for the first time and was acting up in the gate before the race, then she finished dead last after leading for most of the race... but her legs are fine, she scoped clean and my trainer determined that she hates having her ears grabbed (they did that to her to get her in the gate). She's eating well and has settled down in her new home and we have great hopes for her. She a big solid filly sired by Old Topper and she prefers routes to sprints. I'm pretty excited about this - hopefully she is the first of many that I own

Way to go DT. Congrates and best of luck to you! Hope for great things. I don't like my ears grabed either, so hopefully it's all up hill.

beautiful horse. Old Toppers like that synthetic stuff. Horses get legged up at Golden Gate and do well at Santa Anita
so maybe you can ship with confidence for a win

Just looked at O Firely's PPs from Friday's third at GG
Lots to like, especially having a top notch trainer like Steve Sherman. Got to add this one to my horses to watch list.
