[QUOTE=2boys;2718349]
Just out of curiosity, how does one try to acquire a “racing” picture? I adopted my boy, and consequently don’t get his papers, but I think it would be neat to grab a picture of him in his “hayday”-just for kicks.:)[/QUOTE]
If you know the racetrack and date, and he won, it’s a possibility. I got a copy of a win photo for the first colt I foaled (Easy To Please, 2001).

Oh, I am such an idiot. They only take their picture if they win. Fortunately for me, he never did. Oh well.:uhoh:
I’ll add my to the list
Speak Tru /drk bay, raced at Fort Erie
His sire is Trulo and the dam is September Jo
A great little horse that has taken many riders to the hunter division
and the jumper divisions.
Another TB for the list!
May I please add my guy: Bryce Be Quick. B 1989 gelding by Wheatly Hall out of Egregious. 
re: Clever Ma
Fairweather — Is Clever Ma a great big chestnut gelding that was bred and raced by the Koski’s in Charles Town? If so, I used to help Mr. Koski with that horse because he had gotten the habit of running out of his stall, someone apparently let him hit his hip on the door and it was frightening to watch the Mr. try to handle a horse who was well on his way to 17H at 3 years old and he (Mr. Koski) was an older gentleman and not that fast on his feet. What a beautiful animal!
I’ve had a few!
Trak Knak - 1979 light bay gelding by Prince Khal-ran out of Persian Amber. Came off the track and bought as a 5 year old and became my 4H horse. Ran mostly at Longacres racetrack. Died of colic in 1989.
Crafty Lightning - 1988 dark bay gelding by Crafty Native out of Kick up a Storm. Had one win at Portland Meadows - raced a lot there and at Longacres and Yakima. Canadian-bred. Bought as a 4 year old right off the track and became a great low-level dressage horse and jumper. Still going strong in my pasture at 19 years old!
Space Slam - 1995 17.2+h dark bay gelding by Skywalker out of Time for a Slam. Slam was a $100,000 yearling out of Keensland who fractured his sesamoid in race training and never raced. He spent a year in a stall and was eventually given to the owner of the layup stable he was at. She resold him as a dressage horse and he and I have competed up to 2nd level dressage. He is showing some signs of arthritis in that leg now but still quite ridable. He is a super horse that has an amazing work ethic and personality…love him.
We’ve also had many TBs come through our rescue - Final Flurry, Intercat, and I currently have “He is Indeed” in my pasture, an 11 year old gelding by Alydeed who was recently surrendered to us. He raced for 9 years and has quite a few injuries to show for it, but is sound for light riding.
I also have one beautiful 18 year old TB mare that was a rescue that I kept. I called to trace her tattoo but couldn’t get an exact match. I am debating taking the next step and submitting photos to TRPB.
I just researched another horse at our barn that was abandoned. His name is Justyboy, 2002, by Pulpit out of French Buster.
Just a few horses I’ve worked on in the last couple years (massage)

Mystery NY horse
Larry’s Lassie. A little mare I rescued here in Ohio in April. She raced Finger Lakes, was a NY Bred, and I have traced her to her original breeder, owner and trainer with no luck. Number one question I have, how did she sustain such horrific injuries between racing and ending up where I found her? Any help would be awesome. She knows the name Midnight, and she is a 16 year old Bay.
Soes Ahead–1990–dk. bay–gelding
I had the privilege of owning the above named horse from 1996-1998. He was bred in New York and is by Titanic and out of Sky Chat (by Chati). He started his racing career at Belmont a little later than most, probably because he was so big (he was 17 hands), but we purchased him at Mountaineer in West Virginia. He didn’t live up to name as a race horse, as he finished 30+ lengths behind in most of his early starts at Belmont, and was running in 3500 claimers at Mountaineer when we found him.
We changed his show name to A2/C Riley when I purchased him to become my next event horse (my dad was in the airforce, hence the Airman 2nd Class). He became an EXCEPTIONAL eventer, and I had great fun with him. Here’s a link to a picture:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/glfprncs/1681861701/
I sold him in late 1998 to a girl in Illinois, who then sold/gave him away to a hunter/jumper barn in St. Louis, Missourri. Don’t know where he is now at the ripe age of 18.
Barli Jean (Dumbarli x Jenorse)
Imperial Shadow (Imperial Falcon x ___)
Windswept R Ana (Bee Gold x Pompeyana)
I haven’t read through the entire thread, but has anyone got more info on their OTTB as a result of posting here?
Yup! Actually had one of the new owners of a horse we got off the track PM me. We sold him to a trainer in VA, who in turn sold him to another person. That person contacted me and I filled her in on his history.
I’ve also had several other “new owners” contact me about some of the hroses that I have on the list.
I know the history on all mine, so I’ve just been giving history to those that now have them
I would love to know who owns Wilmaglen, a 2001 bay mare racing in the PNW. She is a full sister to a horse that I currently ride. Wilma was born on our farm and I had the pleasure of watching her grow up before she began racing.
Other than that, I know/rode (from the US):
Miss Fiona (1999 c. mare from PNW)
Wilmaglen (2001, b. mare from PNW)

Sea Journey
I’ll add my new project - Sea Journey (Storm Day x Red Journey), a/k/a Toucan, because he MUST stick his big nose into everything he can reach. He is very, very cool, to say the least. He only raced a couple of times, as a 2 year old (he’s 4), in Florida.
Ones my family has owned:
Tabasco Cat (1/2)
Lord Carson
Good and Tough
Lord Gaylord

Through COTH, a very nice person did a story on my horse Grady… she was contacted by the people that had bought him as a yearling and raced him during his early years. (He ran for 9 yrs)… through her they contacted me, as they had lost touch with him and were very concerned about his well being.
They are supposed to fly in from Texas to visit him this summer, as a surprise from the wife, to her husband Grady!
I just loved finding out who my boy was named after!
What years
[QUOTE=Cornerpost;2715969]
I sure did. I rode him a bunch, mostly with a Dessage saddle. Had to watch I didn’t point him in the direction of a jump, or we would be going over it. He was really cool. Did you know any of the other Coby horses?[/QUOTE]
When were you at SUNY Cobleskill? I was there 2003-2005 finished up my 4 year degree there. I LOVED Bill, he was an awesome ride! We had a bunch of the NY Breds there for foaling out.
