Equibase

Post by Gigi Gofaster »

had a day off today to finally get over the flu and spent ages looking for horses i used to handle as a kid. I love equibase, but I did find I spent a lot of time with some very slow horses:

Ariga (NY), the first stud I groomed, and the one who really taught me about handling stallions. He was an absolute gentleman, which was good, because I was 14. he was used to cross with QH.

Tested Tough (KY) the first OTTB I retrained. Knee chips kept him from jumping but he did pretty well in dressage

Trap de Smoke - a yearling filly I fell in love with when I worked in yearling prep for Sunset Hill farm (Run the Gantlet was there at the time). I also got hooked on a North Pole filly there but I don't think she raced, and the best of 'my' yearlings turned out to be Mardis Gras Belle, who shows nothing on Equibase but went to Bahrain and won a bit. THAT was one seriously good looking filly.

Anybody else snoop around Equibase for lost loves? Find any? There's one other I've searched for but that wasn't a horse so I'm saying nothing.

Now that I have an account that let's me see all the features that cost money, I spend way too much time on there. It's always fun to look up a horse I haven't thought about in a while to see what they've been doing.

So, that North Pole filly I adored is out of a mutliple stakes placed mare, Dynamo Dotty, and a half to Coin Collector.

but no sign of her 1984 filly by North Pole. Or of that trainer that smelled just delicious.

Stumbled across this as I was looking for something else. here are some updates;

My broodmare's half sister is Pure Xena. Thought I might be onto a big one here but no. I kept checking her equibase wistfully looking for her to come back but now I guess I should be watching the sales results in 2022 for a yearling.

The Dynamo Dotty filly by North Pole that I loved was named Cold Power.

I did find that yummy-smelling trainer though. But that's all I'm sayin'
