Re: Good Books for Racehorse Training

Two best books for anyone starting on their own without any experience are in my opinion: "Training Thoroughbred Horses" by Preston M. Burch; "Backyard Race Horse (The Training Manual)" by Janet Del Castillo with Lois Schwartz. Hope you can find them...its been awhile since I bou...

Re: Oakton Farms Morriston, Fl.

Again, we wonder why the public has a low regard for thoroughbred racing and ownership? Let me take you on a journey! I buy a lifetime breeding to "Suns Out Guns Out" an Empire Maker Stallion, from Hand Ride Stables in Ohio, which I have a contract which gives all of the conditions as how ...

Re: Shifty Kitten

[quote="madelyn"]Hm I'm thinking since it's a Canter West Virginia listing that she might be in West Virginia - or could be up at Mountaineer or that area?[/quote]
I like to know specific location not just WV the state!

Re: Famous Racehorses in the 20th Century

I agree that "Bold Forbes" has to be in the conversation of great 20th Century Horses! I was fortunate to own a daughter of his, and she was the start of me getting into racing and breeding. Got to see him along with up close touching Secretariat, Sham, Affirmed, Slew, etc..

Re: Checking one off the Bucket List

If you are going to Lexington, Ramseys is the place to go for great "FOOD" . Doesn't look like much, but anyone in horses knows of it. Sounds like a great weekend! It's on Harrodsberg Rd. There are so many things to see and do. Keeneland Racecourse.

Re: Looking for a trainer at Mountaineer

I haven't raced at the Mountain for about two years, but I had a good trainer that worked with me on training the horses etc. ($10/day; 50% of Purse $; I furnished the hay, feed, supplements, and vet) The trainer was good and we could stay in the owner racing, but if the horses didn't have it anymor...

Re: Sept. Yrlg Sale @Keeneland

You don't play this game having short pockets even if you breed to race. I have tried since 1992 and everyday something happens that requires more $$. That being said, I have never had more enjoyment breeding, raising, racing the horses that we have owned. No stakes, allowance winners, but we run fo...
