Another colt I bred, trained, and later sold was Done By Dark. He was a 3 yr old when I sold him to a gal in Woodstock, IL for the H/J ring. He's a dark bay with 2 or3 short whites, a star and a snip. His ears really hook in at the tips. Neat little horse. Anyone run across him? He'd be about 9 or 10 now.

I like this one....

I did extremely well on the Trillium Circuit with a chestnut mare named Beaus Gimmick...loved that mare!
Shinen D'or - bay mare showed a little
Grand Jorg - bay gelding showed a little
Arctic Hope (I think that was his race name)
End Sweeps Advance...gelding...gave him away to a family after I owned him for 2 years because he really wanted a job and I didn't have one for him at the time
Briarhalo-alas I lost after she foaled Briar's Legacy, still at my home decorating my pasture
Sinful Intentions Showed at The Royal Winter Fair - LT Governor Cup placed 10th and was top TB in that Class and place 3rd in the TB line class
Romance In Ashes - full sister to above, both homebred won 2 yr old tb this year at The Royal and was reserve champion.

edited because.....wow am I dating myself with the first few horses....Grand Jorg and Arctic Hope......

At least 10 tattooed TBs that are unidentified
At least 10 more that I bought off the track and rehomed

I'm sure I've missed a few of the named ones. In fact, I'm missing two horses I have right now but I can't think of who are the 18th and 19th horses in the big pasture! It's sad when there are so many you can't even rattle them all off. Guess I'll have to edit later. Some of these are ones I've bred and/or raced, some are ones I bought after their race careers, some are young yet.

Oh that's where I saw her. I was at that sale. Nice mare. You'd think I would have remembered. I guess my mind is time warped from travelling across the country. Did you breed her this year?

mini's mom

famous has her mr p traits -ie big front end - poor hind end - sort ofnarrow in the front - she is a huge mare - l6.3 or better with a huge shoulder - and is lightning fast -

the only reason that I have her is that she was nerve blocked (by a trainer of mike gill) , run with a broken foot & fractured pastern & totally broke down on the track and was going to the meat man the next day - I was working at the track and the time and the woman who was her jockey came and asked me to please get out of this situation

famous is a nice mare, very good to work on & would make a super mom only if I could find a stallion (in the new england area) that has no mr p at all - the only ones around here are a horse called tuxedo landing but the woman has not responded to any inquiries about him & a horse named sundance ridge (by cox ridge) & the horse died in 2007 - so I am out of luck so far -

I did e mail the farm in ca where farmous came from and told the people who bred her what had happened and she was safe and has a good home

I have a 1999 gelding named Clint, by Here We Come (Mr. P) out of Meriledo (Slewledo).
Haven't done anything with him as I got cancer shortly after I bought him and have been dealing with that but am now ready to ride so am looking for a trainer.
Clint had 3 outs ($10,000 claiming) as a 4-year old, ran 4th in all of them after leading by a length or so up until the stretch in 1-mile races. I saw his races on the internet and he was either a rabbit or in the wrong distances. Also, it was Iowa in August and he hates the heat. I bought him from a guy who bought and resold horses who got him at an auction in Kansas City.
Inbreeding: Count Fleet 5S X 5S
Bold Ruler 5D X 5D
Dosage Profile: 11 2 9 2 0
Dosage Index: 2.69
Center of Distribution: +0.92
(SPR=22; CPI=0.1)
I'd be interestd to know what the above means if anyone would be so kind as to let me know, I'd appreciate it. Seems like I tried to figure it out once and determined he should have been a sprinter but I don't know if I was interpreting correctly. He looks exactly like Count Fleet and can jump over anything.
