Sognare 2008 (Aptitude X Seeyouinmydreams by Comet Shine) Bled
Zip’s Affair 2004 (City Zip X Fortunate Affair) Stakes placed, injured.
Princeskeet 1996 (Skeet Shoot x Magnolia Princess) One start, couldn’t get him in the gate again.
Sports Pass 1995 (Sportin’ Life x Winged Passage) 18 starts, not very fast… HAlf brother to current eventer KAte Chadderton’s Collection Pass.
Keratoid Devil 1989 (Stop The Music X Matoki) 31 + starts. Long, short, turf, dirt, hurdles. Word was he had lots of talent but no understanding of the concept of “Racing.”
Those are the current residents.
My 21 yrold mare is Awesome kc (Really Awesome x carydough). From what I know, the sire had about 3 foals, and I found her mother living in charleston through YouTube (crazy I know). She was bred in Fl, and got a lip tattoo but never raced. She is particularly sensitive and claustrophobic, and came with some impressive wire scars on her legs. I suspect there’s a good story there, but I don’t know it.
My coming 3yrold is unraced, and unregistered, but I know he is Bellamy road x coli bear. He had surgery as a baby to fix his super turned out legs. He’s straight now, and 100% sound. Thank my lucky stars.
Mine are awful. Computer and Powerstroke.
Powerstroke isn’t terrible. Plus lends itself to lots of barn names…diesel, Hemi, Duramax…
TB’s I own presently…
Code Wind 1994 - MD bred (Slew Dancer x Code Du Marche)
Rudy S 2000 - NY Bred (Star Gallant x Without Permission)
Midnight Tucker 2008 NY bred (Say Florida Sandy x Midnight Moon), owned by my daughter, but lives with me.
TB’s we’ve owned and lost
Snake River 2000-2014 - FL bred (Louis Quatorze x Truly Classic)
Watrals Nat Star 2000-2013 - NY bred (Dixie Brass x The Roodeye)

My boy is Cabeus by Empire Maker out of Adobe Gold Foaled in 2009. He is kind, quiet did not like to run. Loves being my low level eventer. Fancy enough for the hunter ring. I love him
Current ponies are:
Lego Man by Finality out of Just Like Celia
Cagey Curt by Mass Market out of Vision of Grandeur
Both boys raced. Was very interesting watching Cagey Curt’s (aka Lester) races - definitely the reason he has some baggage :(.
Previous ponies:
Royal Amerigo (raced) by Vagabond Prince out of Lucy Bean
Always loved Roy’s Reg. name - just gave him even more presence.
Frankie’s Promise (track trained only) by On Target out of Baker City Kitty
She was a Spectacular Bid GGD - and looked spit image of him. Changed her name to Mein Edel.
Twisterfare (track trained only) by Ramannolie out of Le Tresor. Didn’t like Rumi’s name for obvious reasons (although sometimes true lol) so changed it to Rum Cay (my Dad grew up in the Bahamas.)
Intuitively by Silver Fox out of Tilly K . Her name isn’t horrible but I did change her barn name from Sally to Sadie.
Current horses do have changed names for showing as well lol. Think I’ve only kept a couple original names lol. I wonder where people come up with these names sometimes.
You will definitely not recognize mine! His name now is This Guy (lol). His racing name was Brian’s Spitfire. It’s really lame. He was not very good. He got one second, maybe two thirds, and the rest were close to last :lol:. His grandfather is Fusaichi Pegasus who was remarkable.
Whataboutfreud 2010 (Freud x Whataboutus by Clever Trick) 5 starts, no money. dumped jockey and ran back to the barn during the post parade for his 6th race. Became an event horse and never looked back. Incidentally, I kept his JC name.
Well we have too many to list but we always make sure we know their pedigrees and therefore their race names. My favorite name is an Australian TB we imported, Gravy Train. His race record was abysmal but he was a born eventer. Such a sweet horse and major talent. Was winning at the CCI** level but sadly colic took him away. Still miss him
My 2009 gelding is Royal Envoy (Artie Schiller x Just Breezing).
While watching the videos of his 5 starts I noticed the caption
“0 Wins; 0 Places; 0 Shows.”
So I named him Triple Zero.
He’s the smartest, sweetest, laid back 6 year-old I’ve ever met.
I’ve posted in the other thread in racing forum, but my two are :
Timpanogos- 2000 grey mare by Slew the Bride out of Katy Jack. Raced at Portland Meadows and Grants Pass
Sweet Littledarian- 2004 bay gelding by Official out of Sweet Little Rosie. Raced at Portland Meadows.
Neither earned big, just a few k each. But they are such sweeties and I love them dearly!
I have a 2008 TB filly - Autumns Reign (surprise surprise! lol!)
also a 2002 TB mare - Molinaro Precious
and my old mare, who’s since passed: La Coquine
I have a few at the moment:
Smokey Boy (2000) Phone Trick X Nice Pic by Piccolino
Xtralicous (2008) Rock and Roll X Miss Sweet Time by Marquetry
[B]Humors Punch /B Sharp Humor X Holly’s Punch by Two Punch
Bello Pappa (2004) Snow Ridge X Astaire’s Ginger by Fred Astaire
Readthesmokesignal (2010) Read The Footnotes X Highly Capable by High Yield

Rapid Transit (2006) Marciano X Penelope Pitstop by Smarten
Besame Suances ( 2006) Suances X Kissing Girl by Lode
Repeat Winner (2007) Awesome Again X Arum Relaunch by Cees Tizzy
if you were at Gulfstream maybe you saw my baby In Charge Again - son of Awesome Again, from My Dear Abby - he raced and came third out of 13, and then fractured a bone and became a pet!
Pickwick Prize, Zydeco Blue and High Spotlite
I LOVE my new OTTB’s track name… Long Vision
The worst one we had was Red Bopper. I mean, really?
