1979 was a typo... should have been 1977.

I will pass this info on to his daughter... thanks.

Not sure where the stats came from, but he certainly rode at Commodore in 1975 - I saw him. Maybe the records from there were lost for that year.

Rode in mid to late 70's.

Rode at Commodore Downs in 1975.

Last rode at Narragansett in 1979.

Also known as "Mikie."

Some jurisdictions allow adjunct bleeding medication, some don't.

ok. as long as you are certain you are dealing with an osselet and not a chip or fracture (you would approach treatment differently), here's is what I can recommend. First, an osselet is an inflammation of the bones of the ankle joint. there are various reasons for them, primarily an injury or poor ...

In the late 60's through the 70's there were three horses who always seemed to be racing against each other - Port Conway Lane, Lexington Park, and Dot's Imp. They all basically raced in Maryland and among the three of them they won nearly 150 races. The horses changed hands many times over the year...

One more time.....

Yes, I know. The russians have their own huge supply of diamonds and threatened to dump them on the open market years back unless they were included in the cartel. what i dont understand is how this is applied to AI. AI is neither common nor rare. It's "supply" has nothing to do with it's cost..... ...

I'm pretty good at deciphering cryptic messages, but this one has me stumped....

Not quality. Popularity.

Hence, whether or not it's a major racing breed.

I'm sure they're fine horses. They just aren't the kind most people want to see race.

I think there are some QH breeders who would disagree. Racing QHs are largely TB, anyway, so we have the anomaly of a chiefly TB (15/16 and more) animal getting faster while the source isn't. There are some races allowing QHs and TBs , running farther than most QH races and shorter than most TB rac...

Quarter Horse, Paints and Appaloosa racing times have also increased while TB's remain stagnant. No tires or carts involved to lay blame on. Dinosaurs don't fare well in a high tech environment. AI, done properly, is no cheaper than live cover. It is still labor intensive and requires basically the...

There are a number of reasons why harness horses have been steadily dropping time from their finish times. 1. AI = this is the single biggest reason. with the implementation of AI, there is no need for cheap, slow, backyard-bred horses anymore. even the bottom classes at most harness tracks are load...

Right. Not to be confused with the Pelling Pacifier that the horse in the picture prior to my post is wearing.

A fly mask and a Pelling Pacifier are two different things which serve two different purposes.

How's that for clarification?

The blinker hood with "screens" over the eyes is called a "Pelling Pacifier." It has been used in harness racing for years to calm horses but has been used occasionally in thoroughbred racing, too. The screens prevent dirt from getting thrown into a horse's eyes. Harness horsemen have a greater vari...

The only time a horse needs a chain through their mouth is if they are vicious, studdy, crazy, or as hot as hell. The problem is, nowadays horses get lip chains as a matter of routine rather than a matter of necessity. Years ago, horses very rarely got lip chains to get saddled. I think the main re...
