You should have seen him coming back after the race to be unsaddled, he was lightly bouncing along, so proud of his run. When he was led back to the barn by his groom he was swishing his tail and looked like he had enough energy to try another mile or so. I think he loved racing, it sure seemed to make him happy. Papa Morey sure did love that old guy and I think you can see why, you can't help but love a horse that loves what he does (and makes you lots of money while doing it!).

Horses like Bold Chieftain are why I love this sport

Extra Fuse, a 10YO bay mare by Lite The Fuse out of Fetch Gold (Strike Gold), yesterday won her 9th race in her 49 starts-to-date career in the 2nd at TBD. Since November she has had 4 starts with 2 wins and 2 places. She's bred by/owned by/trained by Lloyd Lockhart.

Missile Motor, the hardknocking 9YO gelded son of Golden Missile, will make his 72nd start on February 1 in the 5th at Aqueduct, a 6F $7,500 claiming race. 71-19-18-10, he has earned $483,410.

Thanks to Steve mentioning him several years ago on ATR, I've been following him ever since. Good luck to him in his first start of 2012!

West Seattle Boy, 13, is entered tomorrow at Portland Meadows (R7)...

I had never heard of him so looked around, found this...

I've asked this before... how old is too old?

Thoughts?

I wish him well.

Looked respectable finishing 4th.
