She just claimed a horse "Tour of the Cat" from Jacobson at Presque Isle Downs for some bloggers on another site and got him retired to Old Friends in Kentucy. He was 10yo, multple stakes winner with earnings of over $1 million.
Jacobson raced him in NY until the vets scratched him. Took him to Finger Lakes where he was the favorite to race and the vet scratched him before the race saying he was unfit to race. "“His left front tendon was swelled, hot and sore to the touch,” Ohlinger said. “He was too thin, and his muscle condition didn’t look like he was in racehorse condition. It was a disservice to the horse, the rider and the other riders to let him run.” Jocobson said “I believed he was in good condition, and had some races left,” and sent him to race at Presque Isle Downs. Moss tried to give him the claiming price before the race but he raced the horse anyway. Moss claimed him and she worked out a retirement at Old Friends. Jacobson and others like him should be monitored very closely.

i don't admire her taste in humans, but i sure like her taste in horses! good for them-she's doing what many should do, give something back to a few of these horses.

Jacobson also had a horse, Unigold, who he was running at tracks outside NY for 5K. Attempts were made to buy him for the claim price but he refused stating he was gonna win next time. Unigold broke down and was euthanized on the track about a hundred yards into that next race.
