Horsewhispererusa ‘Horses in training’
Over the coming weeks will we keep members updated on the training progress of our Horses, so keep checking in.
Latest Update:
Our 2yo pacer OLDFRIENDSKENTUCKY made his debut on Wednesday evening the 28th December at Windsor Raceway Ontario.
We couldn’t be more pleased with his performance he ran a little green …. in fact at the break he followed the pace car to the top of the turn and spotted the field some 4 lengths. Alex lilley our driver settled him nicely went four wide on the final bend and he produced blistering pace to be denied the win by a length.
Unharnessing him we found he had lost a shoe ….. Alex reckoned it was lost at the break which means he ran a full race on three shoes, no mean feat for a young horse. We will be looking to break his maiden in his next race … lets see how he comes out of this and the travel experience and we will decide where to run him next.
He went off at odds of 14/1 returned $10.10 and $3.20 for Place and Show dividends.

| “…Whosurboy came to work everyday. He made $1.8 million doing it a nickle and dime at a time. The record shows that he won his 200th lifetime start in 1:49.4 at Mohawk Racetrack. How’s that for durability? Trust me when I tell you, horses like him don’t come along every day.”
