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.

He does like the fillies though. He whinnies at each and every mare they walk by him. Hee hee. They put him in a paddock with the girl's other horse, Freddy. Freddy will turn him gay in a heartbeat.

Buffy,
I just looked at her race record and saw she had her *one* win at Thistledown(I know, boo-yah!), so I emailed the track photographer. (got the email addy from the T-down website) I needed to provide the date and race #. Turns out she *won* only due to a disqualification. I guess by the time the stewards got it figured out it was too late for an actual "Winner's Circle" photo, but he sent me a photo of her from the race, which I actually think is even cooler! Then I watched all her races on Race Replays. It is soooo thrilling to watch the old races. Friends and guests just LOVE it! I had one friend that just couldn't get over it. He kept asking, "that horse in those races???,,,,,that's that brown horse I *just* fed carrots to???? ""Are you positive??? I mean,,,,the horse from those races,,,,,,she's in your pasture RIGHT NOW???¿¿¿¿!!!" It was too funny! Tell your friend good luck with her new guy. Hope she has a blast with him. I love my girl and wouldn't hesitiate to get another OTT horse. I'll try to attach her race picture. She's #8. Suzanne Rockland Valley farm

Here is a picture of the girl on "Bubba". They are doing their first horse show this weekend (IF it doesn't get rained out).

He's beautiful! And they fit so well together.
