When I was 14, I purchased my first stamdardbred....h is name was Bewitching Blackie (a name that I always hated as his original name was Keystoner's Boy) He was only five but was pulling a buggy and had gotten too sore to get to church and back. He had two bows and blind jacks and the guy was going to send him to the kill pen. I asked the Amishman how much hethought that the horse weighed. He said 800 pounds and I could see that he weighed closer to a thousand pounds. Kill price was 8 cents a pound at the time so I told him I would givehim $64 and he could save the trucking bill that he would incursending him to the auction. I blistered, rubbed, and bandagedthat horse and ended up racing him at the fairs where he earned around $1500. I sold him in the fall for $650 to another trainer. How easy was that ? Needless to say I was hooked and sixty five years later, I still have the addiction.
I bought 2 horses from busse for a whopping $1500. Turned around two days later and took them to kill pen and got $2800. Made a quick $1300
Probably complete Bullshit but just posting it makes you a DIRT BAG.
Crazy art claimed him at Moline for $2500 had six starts four wins two seconds claimed for $10k raced twice for new people never raced again guess they weren't using the M-99 like we were
