Yeah, when cats shoe up at our house we just feed then so they don't starve and if anyone picks them up thats great, if they don't then we just keep them!
Oh. How cute. HE has a stable pony for a friend. I heard Wise Can was going to be used as a stable pony after he retired because he was so mellow and had s calming influence on other horses. Plus he loved just going to the track himself. I wonder if it happened.
I still believe Secretariat was the greatest racehorse to ever live. He set records at all 3 races that still stand, and his time at the Belmont remains the world record time for the mile and a half distance. However, I would argue American Pharoah's competition was tougher. There are more horses and better horses than there were back then. Tactics are different as well. Horses that lose the Derby usually skip the Preakness and are better rested in the Belmont. Back then, most contenders ran all three. Winning the Triple Crown has always been hard, but modern horseracing has made it darn near impossible. And somehow Pharoah did it.
My Favorite Racehorses 1. Rock Hard Ten 2. Free House 3. Soul Of The Matter 4. Lit de Justice 5. Zenyatta 6. Justify 7. Cigar 8. Ghostzapper 9. Lava Man 10. Silver Charm My favorite racehorse before my time is Seattle Slew. It used to be Secretariat but Slew was a bad dude. I like tough horses. Sec was brilliant but wasn't gritty enough. The G.O.A.T. might actually be Dr. Fager or Spectacular Bid. A 4YO Fager had the most raw talent. Rock Hard Ten will always be my favorite racehorse. I met him, wore his hat, had his Santa Anita Derby button, t-shirt, followed him since his 2nd start, and just made me money consistently. If you're reading this, Ernie Moody, you're a kind man. Much love to you, Gary Stevens, and Richard Mandella. The 2005 Santa Anita Handicap was my favorite race I ever attended even moreso than Zenyatta's 2009 Breeders' Cup Classic win. The Jason Orman era with RHT were kinda so-so since Orman was inexperienced. The fastest racehorse I saw was Ghostzapper. I already knew he would win the 2004 BC Classic months before he ran in it. The first great racehorse I saw was Cigar who got me into the sport. My favorite mare was easily Zenyatta and I really don't care for fillies and mares. My favorite Triple Crown winner is Justify. My favorite Cal-breds are Free House, Lava Man, and California Chrome. I used to have a shit load of horse racing memorabilia. But the only ones I have now are downloaded TH-cam races on my phones.

My favorite is ruffian and in my opinion is the best racehorse (don’t attach me on it it’s my opinion) she never got to show her full talent and her jockey never let her run full out, he also barely used the whip because she never needed it.
I own two OTTBs (Off the Track Thoroughbreds). My gelding (boy) is 24 years old and my mare (girl) is 18. My mare LOVES this cat that is in the barn where we board them. I have found that cat sitting in her stall as she rubs on it. It's the cutest thing in the world! Whenever this little cat (Rachel) is around, my mare is super calm. It's amazing.
When I was a kid, my family owned several horses and one of them was an off the track thoroughbred gelding. His full name was overly complicated and started with the word "Conglomerate" so we shortened it to "Comet". Anyway he was a real gentleman and had a strong work ethic, so much so that my mother, who used to be a horse trainer, was able to harness break him.
@@emmabesko4124 he didn't have any injuries, they just said that as an excuse to retire him. Justify wouldn't of stood a chance against older, better horses and his connections knew it. The 2018 crop of 3 year olds was laughable.
rubles we don’t know that. I might add that Justify might of done better in the Dirt Mile than the BC Classic, and would’ve had American Pharoah eating mud in the Preakness
Horse racing 🏇 is actually my 2nd favorite sport behind basketball 🏀. Loved it since December 1995. I can school anyone with it. Angles. History. All of it. But it's dying. Breeding ruined it.
@@NoThankUBeQuiet I think they were referring to how breeders are emphasizing more and more speed and breeding to sell than race, especially retiring champions way too early to stud.
Smokey is living somewhere in Colorado Bob Baffert sold him and he sold for 80,000 and all that money was donated to Old Friends retirement for thoroughbred in Kentucky
These horses have to be shod all round, meaning all four hooves, typically if turned out with other horses you would pull their hind shoes because they can kill each other with them. So they can't be turned out with other horses, they get really lonely, hence the barn buddies.
Does Smokey still hang with American Pharaoh? I had a super QH gelding named Smokey as my first real horse and he was THE HORSE of my life! He was a great horse with kids and baby horses ... everyone and everything loved him! His daddy was a stakes futurity, barrel and chariot champion. Even as an older stud they used him as a pony horse for their other race horses on the track so jy guy came from great attitude smart blood
Don’t think Smokey accompanied Pharoah to stud duty after he stopped racing guess he wasn’t needed in that circumstance and BB used him to ride occasionally
Jason Reyes Arrogate is a grey horse famous for defeating California Chrome in the 2016 Breeders’ Cup Classic as well as defeating 2017 HOTY Gun Runner in the Dubai World Cup coming from behind in 2016. He retired in 2017 to stud. His first crop of foals will be racing in 2021.
@Jason Reyes Arrogate's streak of four brilliant Grade 1 stakes wins (the Travers & Breeders' Cup Classic in 2016, the Pegasus World Cup & Dubai World Cup in 2017) -- two of them in track record time, all of them beating out a Horse of the Year winner, with the races won in very different styles (setting the pace, stalking, and closing from dead last) -- made me wonder if I was looking at a horse as good as Secretariat. The only other horse who has made me wonder that was Spectacular Bid. The tail end of Arrogate's career made me reevaluate that opinion a bit -- he lost three races in a row at Del Mar, two of them out of the money. He was sound. Did he hate Del Mar, as Baffert believes? Was he just soured on racing? But at his best . . . *WOW*. He retired with a career record of 11:7-1-1. Tragically, Arrogate died June 2, 2020, at the age of 7, while finishing his third season at stud. His first crop are currently yearlings. He fell in his stall and was unable to get to his feet. He was transported to an equine hospital, where 4 days of tests & treatment did not reveal the cause or remedy the problem. He developed a complication -- it is dangerous for horses to be lying down for extended times -- and was euthanized. If the results of the necropsy have been released, I haven't seen it. (Years ago, a necropsy failed to reveal the cause of death of my friends' beloved middle-aged Thoroughbred gelding, who died under similar conditions, having been found down in the field, unable to rise to his feet.)
@@OfficialMuffiin Horse of the Year and the Longines rankings are evaluated very differently. HOY is normally given for excellence over the season. Longines revises its rankings several times over the course of the year, and the final rankings are specifically on *peak performance* by a racehorse, with the specific race cited for the award. By that criteria, Arrogate deserved the 2016 Longines award as World's Best Racehorse (given for his Breeders Cup Classic win) and his 2017 Longines award (for his win in the Dubai World Cup). Arrogate was, as I say elsewhere in this thread, one of only two horses who have made me wonder if I was looking at a dirt runner as good as Secretariat. At his best, he was jaw droppingly brilliant. But Arrogate did not deserve HOY in either 2016 or 2017. In 2016, Arrogate's record was 6:5-0-1. Only two of his wins were stakes wins, brilliant victories in the G1 Travers and Breeders' Cup Classic. His other 4 starts were in maiden specials and allowance races. California Chrome, whom he beat in the Classic, was 8:7-1-0 for the season, his sole loss being a neck loss to Arrogate in the Classic. Chrome had 3 G1 wins, 2 GII wins, and victories in a handicap and a listed (I assume ungraded) stakes that year. He deserved HOY. Not Arrogate. I was no Chromie, btw. Couldn't stand Steve Coburn. I was much more a fan of Arrogate. Similar situation in 2017. Arrogate was 5:2-1-0 that season, with brilliant wins in the G1 Pegasus World Cup and Dubai World Cup early in the year. But he finished out the year with 3 straight losses, 2 of them out of the money. Gun Runner, whom Arrogate beat in Dubai, was 6:5-1-0 that year. Gun Runner's sole loss in 2017 was that 2nd to Arrogate in Dubai in March, which was followed by 4 straight wins in G1 races. GR's other win was a GIII early in the year. More stakes wins, much stronger finish to the year. Gun Runner deserved the HOY award.
@@marysueeasteregg Very well said, I agree with you after reading it, Arrogate was great but he burnt out after a handful of serious races, Gun Runner and Cali Chrome definitely had better résumés.
This is awesome! Growing up we had a donkey named Gus, his bestie was old hen we had. They would follow each other around the yard, and Gus would carry her around with his lips by the feathers on her back. It was always a sight to behold.
That was a terrible thing they did to Pickles! So cruel to both goat and horse. Don't they allow goats overseas......or do they eat them? Maybe that's why Pickles stayed in this country. Poor horse, poor Pickles!
Horse racing haters (PETA) comments - "Animal cruelty. The malnutritioned Mexican on them. 🤣 They're going to turn into glue, dog food, Japanese food," etc. I heard them all.
This owners act all caring and thats pure BS!!!! Those horses mean nothing to them, but dollars!!!! Soon as those stop making money they're sold off to oversea slaughter houses.
Would you do that? Probably not. Why should they? Where is the difference? How come that so many race horses die of old age and not because they were slaughtered?
@@rimo1267 a few get good homes ... only thanks to thoroughbred rescue groups ... many come to sad and abrupt endings. The fact that OTTTb rescue groups even exist says ALOT!😢
If you are reading this Bob Baffert, please get those dumb kids off your horses! Improbable and Game Winner would've won yesterday if Mike Smith was on them!
Why is horse racing a thing?! Did you know that almost 30,000 horses die EVERY year because of the beatings and harsh bits, spurrs, and pushing horses through their limit causing their legs to break, and it is HORRIFIC. people obviously don’t know that the people only do it for the money, and that race horses start training MONTHS after birth, with damages the horses health, which is why most people sell their race horses because of bad health. Shame on you. Shame on all the race industry supporters and jockeys. Also, after they win a “Million dollar race”, they just sell the horses or send them to slaughter because they are called “worthless”. My trainer got a ottb, such in bad shape, and the health of that horse was terrible. Please sign a petition to make this horrible sport stop.
Above commenter said Smokey is now in CO ... so NO 😢 I guess. I was wondering the same thing. My three horses are bonded in their own little herd at this point ... long term separation really stresses them out!
@@itsallgood4093 What they do right now is dump the ones that get injured or aren't making money and they are sold to kill buyers or anyone that will take them or euthanized. If they weren't valuable as race horses, they'd stop producing so many of them. I don't know how they dispose of the ones that are seriously injured that have to be euthanized on the track. Used to be that rendering companies would process them, but horse is killed with injections of large amounts of drugs, so I don''t think that is still legal.
@@lornathorpe1632 your right if they aren't valuable then the would no longer breed them. Like the Shire, they would become almost extinct. Good or bad the racing industry keeps this breed alive. Should many of the practices in that industry be cleaned up, yes. Doing away with it completely won't help. Although, the way things are playing out around the world, I'm a little afraid for all horses. Covid is going to change how we spend our money and it might not be on horses.
@@itsallgood4093 I hope people will become aware of the problems and force some increased oversight and that they will stop supporting entertainment over animal welfare. I'm not sure the breed would cease to exist without racing. Maybe. Thanks for the discussion.
@@lornathorpe1632 Unfortunately horse racing means entertainment, means money. Being from Kentucky, you grow up hearing about horse racing. The first Saturday in May is pretty much a state holiday. I hope non-equestrians can educate themselves more and equestrians can learn to regulate themselves better.

Baffert's best horse was American Pharaoh but his most talented was a horse who didn't even win Horse of the Year.. Arrogate.

Did you know that almost 30,000 horses die EVERY year because of the beatings and harsh bits, spurrs, and pushing horses through their limit causing their legs to break, and it is HORRIFIC. people obviously don’t know that the people only do it for the money, and that race horses start training MONTHS after birth, with damages the horses health, which is why most people sell their race horses because of bad health. Shame on you. Shame on all the race industry supporters and jockeys.
Also, after they win a “Million dollar race”, they just sell the horses or send them to slaughter because they are called “worthless”. My trainer got a ottb, such in bad shape, and the health of that horse was terrible. Please sign a petition to make this horrible sport stop.
What did I watch lol
Did smokey go to Australia with AP? Anyone know?
Above commenter said Smokey is now in CO ... so NO 😢 I guess. I was wondering the same thing. My three horses are bonded in their own little herd at this point ... long term separation really stresses them out!
@@katelist8367 i hear what you are saying. That is sad to hear. 🤨 thanks for the information.
What! Why y’all make something so sad lmao

Horse racing is animal abuse. This video sure makes it look cute, but it is not.
Then what should we do with all those race horses?
@@itsallgood4093 What they do right now is dump the ones that get injured or aren't making money and they are sold to kill buyers or anyone that will take them or euthanized. If they weren't valuable as race horses, they'd stop producing so many of them. I don't know how they dispose of the ones that are seriously injured that have to be euthanized on the track. Used to be that rendering companies would process them, but horse is killed with injections of large amounts of drugs, so I don''t think that is still legal.
@@lornathorpe1632 your right if they aren't valuable then the would no longer breed them. Like the Shire, they would become almost extinct. Good or bad the racing industry keeps this breed alive. Should many of the practices in that industry be cleaned up, yes. Doing away with it completely won't help. Although, the way things are playing out around the world, I'm a little afraid for all horses. Covid is going to change how we spend our money and it might not be on horses.
@@itsallgood4093 I hope people will become aware of the problems and force some increased oversight and that they will stop supporting entertainment over animal welfare. I'm not sure the breed would cease to exist without racing. Maybe. Thanks for the discussion.
@@lornathorpe1632 Unfortunately horse racing means entertainment, means money. Being from Kentucky, you grow up hearing about horse racing. The first Saturday in May is pretty much a state holiday. I hope non-equestrians can educate themselves more and equestrians can learn to regulate themselves better.
