The person should be more interested in a vet check. They aren't going to race the horse, so what does it matter what its race record was. Plus, if someone is buying a horse, they should know enough to be able to find out the info they need without having someone come on an internet forum asking for help. Some of the worst people in the horse industry I've had the displeasure of dealing worth are buyers who don't know what they are doing. They want a stake winner of $8.7mil with absolutely no health issues for $87 so they can ride it around in the back yard. Pain in the a$$......

I asked because I wanted to know. As I am a fan of racing, was interested. The 13 year old girl getting him was interested too. Her parents had him vet checked. I don't know the outcome of that vet check yet.
Sorry I asked if Phystech was so offended by me asking. Thanks for the info Echo Farm.

Not offended, just being realistic. I should have known a 13 yr old girl was involved in this..... been down that road too many times.

Note to self "put Phystech on the Morty list". To be honest, the 13 year old hasn't seen the horse live yet. Trainer found it, looked at it, rode it, parents looked at it and they are buying it. 13 year old was just interested in knowing his background.

Not all 13 year old kids are like that... I wasn't when I got my first horse.

I'm late to the party here, but Danzig is right about the pp's being able to tell you basic info. My horse made 2 starts at 2, in the second he DNF...then he disappeared for 2 years before he started again....so we knew he had gone wrong somewhere...when I vetted him we ultrasounded his front legs and found an old suspensory tear...along with problems in virtually every other joint in his legs....but for a thousand bucks plus 500 for the radiographs and ultrasound who cares?

The horse actually came with all of his papers. Racing records and all. He is the biggest sweetheart. I was just really curious as to his racing background. The 13 year old was too. But yes Danzig is correct. Knowing he layoffs, etc... is a helpful thing. We did find out that he was gelded at 3 and a half years old. Didn't place in any races as a four year old.

Glad the horse has a new owner that loves him! Go Bubba!
