What happened to those horses shown in the past? On the blog?
Tiny Tunes'owner sold her up north... She did not justify her training expenses and we never seemed to be where she could do well.
Zulu Prince and Leavemearoan , part of the group of four geldings both went on to other trainers as they did not show enough talent to run in Florida. I tried them a couple of times at other tracks and Zulu did finally break his maiden in Presqueisle with another trainer and may be still running.
Leavemearoan was sold in Ohio but hasn't shown up at track since... I keep an eye out for him.
Because International Guy was so pretty, I tried to sell him as a riding horse but never succeeded. After he was out of training for many months, I tuned him up for West Virginia since they had short races and he seemed to like that. He worked very well off a few gallops at track but I couldn't stay there and made a "deal " with a nice young man... We may see him racing yet!
The only horse of the four that I kept was Duffy. We will see whether waiting on him and letting him grow will pay off.
I have a three going on four unraced Canadian filly that has a lovely personality. So... You know... Always new hope in the barn . The group of geldings was a terrible time, effort, and financial loss. But that is the burden one must carry if one is not claiming or purchasing
A racing horse. We have to put all the effort in early only to find out years later that they can't pay their way!
It is a tough business which is why I say don't quit your day job... Just train on the side. If the horse makes money that is a bonus!
I look forward to sharing trials and tribulations now that I have learned how to access my blog... Thank goodness for grand kids that can teach us!
