So Christmas is coming and for the past 5+ months now I have desperately been searching for race photos of my moms race horse to surprise her… I hope she does not see this if you do mom… surprise. So his name is Physicalattraction he is a bay born in 95 to Hermitage and Ducinabondo. Ridden by Sylvester Carmouche Jr. trainer: Jack Waldie Breeder: Kathy Cuyler Brown. I have facebook messaged the jockey no such luck, through a extensive google search I believe the trainer/ owner is decease, I cant find anything about the breeder but a name in the white pages that I sent a letter to hoping for a response… but nothing. He won two races one in 2000 in Delta Downs( Ive contacted Coady photography no response yet) one in Louisiana Downs in 98- which after contacting the track photographer I learned all the negatives were destroyed in a flood which sucks because he raced mostly there. I am now desperate for any photos of him that I can find, Im looking to figure out who was the photographer at Louisiana before Hodeges and who was Delta Downs before Coady? Anything will help. Thank you in advance
The only persons who would have a win picture are those who ordered one from the track photographer – so it doesn’t surprise me that the breeder and jockey haven’t gotten back to you. They don’t usually bother to collect win pictures (or care to have them) unless the horse was famous, won a big race or meant something to them personally.
Even trainers don’t always order a win picture, but owners usually do. If this Jack Waldie was the owner/trainer and is deceased, then one of his surviving family members might have a win picture of Physicalattraction – so you could go that route.
Jeff Coady (also deceased) followed in his father’s footsteps and became a track photographer after Jack Coady Senior passed away. So Jack Coady Senior was probably the track photographer at Delta Downs before Jeff.
Since there are other Coady family members in the racing photography business, they just might have a ‘win picture’ archive they could sift through – catalogued by track, exact date, per race on the card – I would imagine.
If you knew the exact date and race # – not just the year – I would politely follow up on your request to them. I think you’ll have to make it easy for them to find this particular picture, or they might not bother.
Update I’ve been in contact with Kevin coady and he can not locate them either… looks like I’ve hit a dead end .
That’s too bad. 
But…you might be able to get your hands on a video of horse’s races. Tracks have archives of races – they film all of them. How long they keep them on file is up to the track. Sometimes you can even find the videos online by doing a search, but again that’s a crap shoot.
Does anyone know if there is a person/company that I could pay to retrieve the photos and information that I maybe can not
Here are dates for his races. Found them on Equibase.

Thank you! I actually have all the dates and results I am just in need of the photos
I think the sad answer is that sometimes these pictures just disappear. If the Coadys can’t find the negatives, good chance that they don’t exist anymore.
Hi! My family used to own Physicalattraction; he came with the name Moe and it stuck. My parents bought him in East Texas in 2001 and we had him until 2004 or so. Here is a picture. I know this thread is pretty old at this point, but I hope you see this!
