And I have just finished an article about a rescue filly (broke her pelvis as a yearling, couldn't race) who has produced three stakes horses in her first 5 foals for the rescuer. Did you know that Snowball, the top jumper of the 1960s was a rescue? Owner/trainer got him out of the knacker's yard just in time; he was a mix of some kind, too, with a touch of draft blood in him.

Isn't that a great story? Please forgive me and you are close on his name, but it was Snowman.
