Looking for a horse I used to know=buckpasser in pedigree

Postby catbird321 » Mon May 04, 2009 9:40 am

I know it's a longshot...

I used to work on a thoroughbred breeding farm in the late 1980s... "Sunnyview Farm" in Ghent NY, owned by Morris Levy, who has since passed on.

Anyway, I was just a college kid working as a groom for the summer. I loved that job. I remember very well a little colt with a funny personality, he wasn't named yet. He was out of Gin Buck and his sire was Plugged Nickle.

Gin Buck was a daughter of Buckpasser and Plugged Nickle's damsire was Buckpasser. At the time I didn't know that significance of that, but now I know what a cool lineage that horse had. I did know he has something special. :-)

I've always wondered what happened to that little colt. He would be about 22 years old or so if he's still alive. I searched the database but I didn't see him listed as one of Gin Buck's progeny.

I doubt that colt ever raced. Hope he ended up ok. If anyone knows any way to find out, I'd be grateful. Thanks. -Kate

Thank you Bill, I saw that info in the database, but I know she was bred to Plugged Nickle because I took care of that colt. For some reason there doesn't seem to be a record of it, maybe because he never raced?

Is there any other way to track him down? Thanks, Kate

The one who is "unnamed" in 1987... supposedly by Amber Pass... maybe that's a mistake? I think that was the summer I worked there. I know her colt was by Plugged Nickle, not Amber Pass...

perhaps he was just never registered. in which case you probably wont find him on the site
all i get is: http://www.pedigreequery.com/progeny/gin+buck

that of course, and i dont see nickle on the sire list.
check JC maybe?

nip of gin was an 86. so you are looking for an 85 right? Alcoholize?

that of course, and i dont see nickle on the sire list.
