Hi everyone,

He'll be 27 this Febuary, and he's the most important thing in her life. I want to get everything on him, track records, sire and dam records, photos of him racing, the whole 9 yards if possible.
His registerd name is Ruggy's Kin, sire's name is Kinsman Hope and his dam is Rugged Unit.

I would really appreciate all the help guys, I want to put everything into a nice book or something for Christmas for her. thanks guys

Wow! Thank you! Any more information on Ruggy's Kin?
Also what does Kinsman Hope's record: 29 Starts: 12 - 7 - 3, $176,110 mean? I don't watch racing, so I wont understand alot of stuff, lol.

Wow! Thank you! Any more information on Ruggy's Kin?

All the info I could find on Ruggy's Kin is that he raced four times, never finishing in the top three, and earned $324. That means the chances of there being photos of him racing rather slim, I'm afraid.

Also what does Kinsman Hope's record: 29 Starts: 12 - 7 - 3, $176,110 mean?

It means that he raced 29 times, won twelve of those races, finished second seven times and third three times. $176,110 is his total earnings.

Thanks! Wow, I'm amazed you guys found all of this! thank you so much! Do you know what races Ruggy's Kin raced in? Also, any pictures on his sire or dam? Maybe some more infor on Rugged Unit as well?

Hi, as stated Ruggy's Kin raced only 4 times

He finished 7th, 12th, 4th, and 6th


dates and tracks as follows:

August 1, 1984 in the 4th race at Woodbine

August 8, 1984 in the 4th race at Fort Erie

Sept. 21, 1984 in the 1st race at Woodbine

June 7, 1986 in the 4th race at Fort Erie


Maaaaaaaaaaybe you could get lucky and find someone who has an old program from one of those, but I don't know what else you could hope to find.

Breeder of the horse was Mrs. Muriel S. Hill in Ontario but hard to know what age of person that would have been 26 years ago.

that's amazing! how do you guys do all this? lol
Any chance of knowing what farm he was bred at?
