Just wanted to say and let y'all know there was another Thoroughbred race horse enthusiast lurking in the shadows. :D

Howdy, JL, from a fellow Okie. I'm an owner-breeder for the past fifteen years here, awaiting the November vote of the people regarding Oklahoma's future racinos. I for sure won't be racing in Oklahoma or breeding here without much higher reward/risk ratios. As for now I only have one slow maiden filly in training, so the expenses aren't too high. We're waiting for a race at Remington for her--Reigning Glory. And for you other posters, yes, my old handle was "Rocking H", which is also the pattern on my racing silks.

Hi! Isn't it nice that on the internet you can have others to talk to who follow racing? :)

Sunday Silence: Yes, it is very nice, indeed. :D

henthorn: My wife and I were just at Remington this past Saturday for the Classics. Mr. Horton had one run in the Juvenile Stakes. He didn't fair too well. :( We did however get our first Stakes winner for our Stallion Notable Cat (his first foal crop started running in 2002), in that same race, so it was bitter-sweet. :D Which trainer do you use at Remington?

My trainer is Clinton Stuart, and my mares/babies are boarded at his farm.

Hi jL, welcome to the forum. I'm your "neighbor" in New Mexico here. I think you'll find many knowledgable and helpful TB enthusiasts here.

Welcome back Rocking henthorn. Nice to see you posting again. :D

Can anyone in OK help me? I sold a filly "Inspire the Wind" last year out of my SW mare and just wondering if she is near a track? Its been about 10 months and have her in my DRF watch but havent seen any works or anything.

A little more info would be helpful. Who was the filly sold to? Are you certain she was/is going to run in Oklahoma? Which track? Which trainer? Is this a Thoroughbred filly? Is she NY bred? Talk about finding a needle in a haystack... I believe there are more horses in Oklahoma than there are people. :D

Unfortunately, our main track, Remington Park, is probably going to shut its doors if we don't pass a referendum in November. They are already cutting a lot of running days from this TB meet. :cry:

I figured it would be a needle in the haystack but thought I would give it a shot. NY Bred TB by Family Calling. She was sold definitely to OK, William Hatley bought her but I dont know who trains for him ect. Guess I will just keep waiting. Thanks anyway and welcome!

William Hatley is running at Remington Park (he has a horse running there today, as a matter of fact). I checked the workouts (9/22 - 10/1), as well as the races posted for today and Sunday and couldn't find a horse named Inspire the Wind. I hope this helps. Holler if I can be of any more help.

Thanks JL! At least I know that he is still racing and in OK so there is still hope for her to start.

You are welcome. I just wish I could have told you more. Keep crossing those fingers. Maybe she'll get a start some day. :)
