A nice little feel good story about a little horse called Marvtherat

:Marv is in tonight, race 4 PP4, Century Mile track. Gonna be an interesting race for me to watch - love Silent Rescue, Gray Zee and Sooters Blues and, of course, Marv.

How did the little guy do?

He got third and also got claimedā€¦donā€™t know the new owner or who the trainer is going to be

Ack I was thinking his owners would keep him and give him a happy retirement. He deserves that.
how much was he claimed for?

Omg claimed for $7,500? Who knows the contact info for that buyer Hendry?

He is still racingā€¦Sanford Campbell is a damned good horseman so no worries about Marv getting good care

If I am interpreting the chart correctly, he ran last night (November 2nd), finished 5th, and was claimed back by Cory Manning!

I watched to the end of the 7th last night. Marv raced good but Brandon looked a little uncomfortable driving him; maybe his size since he is such a little thing. I watched the race, listened to the whole spiel and never heard Ken say anything about a claim and worse, I read all the results and missed the claim lined being filled in. Figured Cory would have taken him back - he gets married to his horses!!!LOL

Methinks there is some kinda bug going around the barn area, still a lot of scratches and some horses just arenā€™t racing well at allā€¦horses that couldnā€™t be beat in Calgary and Lacombe and for a week or so in Edmonton are now finishing way back after a vet scratch
