tracking down ANY racing or baby pics of a "not so fast" OTTB?

Hello
I’m new here, but sort of on a mission, so I figured I’d throw my search out here while i get used to the place

Ive been trying to track down pics of my OTTB boy and have come up so very dry!
I have emailed the tracks where he raced and spoke with the track photographers, but (bc the best he ever did was a 3rd place) they have/I’ve found nothing.

I tried locating the jockeys/trainers that worked with him, but found nothing by which to contact them.
(The main trainer actualled passed away in a car accident)

I tried contacting the farm who owned him at one time, nothing.

Here’s what I do know…

JC Tat: i05372 (Langartic)
Ontario bred (Tintaburra, by Bold Agent)
Feb. 26, 2005, Bay Gelding

Keeneland Yearling Auction, sold @ $85,000

(Coady Photography has the last remaining rights to their pics)

Can anybody think of any avenues that I may not have considered?
Thank you for reading, even if you have no suggestions

Can’t help with the pictures, but you can at least watch videos of your horse’s races. You can purchase them off equibase, or, if you’re cheap like me, you can create a free account on Calracing.com and see his 3 Woodbine races there for free.

Sometimes if you’re lucky, you can get some good views of horses on the gallop out footage after the wire and take a screen shot.

Good luck!

How close was his 3rd to the winner? I ask because you could request the winning photo from that race which I am sure the track photographer would have. It is likely your guy will be in the photo finishing third, unless the winner finished way in front. I am looking at the win photo of my boy now. He won by 4 lengths but I can still clearly see the second and third horse in the photo. Good luck!

I would contact Three Chimneys, who consigned him as a yearling. They might have pictures.

Thanks everyone!
ive been able to watch most of his races on the track’s website.
The other track that shut down isn’t opaerating it’s webpage anymore, so I’ll give equibase a try.

Ive even recently tried to reach out to some former jockey’s/trainers, but no responses yet.

Its such a long shot; maybe I’ll just pat someone to
psint me a faux picture, lol.

I think im “SOL” here

Just an FYI, track photographers are independent contractors. Coady Photography took the win photos at Colonial, too, and you can still order those photos from them.

The problem is, that 2nd place finish was a result of a disqualification of the winner; he was actually 3rd in the order of finish.

Here’s the proof off the website, it looks like you can see him, but not super clearly:

I tried contacting three chimneys, they probably had a good laugh at my email to them about a horse that was sold 11 years ago.

I also tried looking up his thirds, but none are clear

Do you not see your horse in the link I posted above? Blue saddle towel, yellow shadow roll on the outside. Also on the far left coming out of the gate.

I mean, it’s not great, but shoot, I’m impressed you can see him that clearly.

I totally missed it!!
im using my phone and the site is a little wonky!
let me check my tablet!!

thank you in advance!!!
