I know horses generally do OK in cold weather, but doesn't a 21-year-old champion deserve a bit more shelter than an open shed?

I'm guessing she also has an inside stall and this is while she's turned out. Man, I can't believe she's 21.BaroqueAgain1 wrote: ↑Tue Jun 04, 2019 3:41 pmI know horses generally do OK in cold weather, but doesn't a 21-year-old champion deserve a bit more shelter than an open shed?

She's a horse. And one that appears to have a nice, thick winter coat. I'm sure when the weather is nasty and cold she is brought inside, but I'd also wager she enjoys her turnout time.

I just saw that above post on FB.
Does anyone know when or how Coolmore ended up with On Parade?? *Edit - I guess at Keeneland Nov 2015...
Surprised to see her in the retired field at 20 too.

I can assure you that Sam-Son has a very nice facility in Milton and their retirees (both racehorses and jumpers) are well taken care of.BaroqueAgain1 wrote: ↑Tue Jun 04, 2019 3:41 pmI know horses generally do OK in cold weather, but doesn't a 21-year-old champion deserve a bit more shelter than an open shed?

Per eFive Racing on Twitter, New Money Honey has checked in foal to War Front. She's carrying a filly.

I thought when you said "low end auction" you meant like New Holland or something but that just looks like a normal Thoroughbred sale? It's a step below Keeneland, sure, but there are a lot of decent state-bred horses in there that would get 5 figures and I doubt it's worth it for "kill buyers" to show up.sweettalk wrote: ↑Wed Jun 26, 2019 10:58 pmhaven't done well trying to get more info re: Take Charge Lady, but can anyone help?

this thread says kill buyers show up there, maybe these posters can clarify.

I heard that Songbird went to Tapit.

In today's edition of "News to Me", I just learned that Airdrie is owned by Kentucky's former governor.
