Standardbred longevity
« on: April 15, 2025, 08:09:10 AM »
Was looking through the list of horse "passings" for 2024 and there were 15 USTA registered horses that lived to 45 years old.  I have one who made it to 37 and thought that was about as far as they go, but 45 is amazing.

What is the oldest horse you have knowledge of?

I don't believe horses are living into their forties.
I do believe the stats on death dates in the April "Hoof Beats" are very misleading.
I ALSO DON'T BELIEVE THAT ABOUT 99% OF ALL DEATHS HAPPENED ON THE FIRST DAY OF THE MONTH AS IMPLYED BY "Hoof Beats" stats.
I don't know the answer, but somethling is off gait.

  • Sweet: A pussy to the end, I talk more racing than you.  You talk me 90% of the time for 6 months.  Seriously dude, drop to your knees and pray to be a man again.

  • Kirby's Ace: Onething for sure is plop members will be able to discyss horse racing without you drawing people into your fantasy world of make believe abd insults. Having to lower one's standards to be able to converse to yourvs quite difficult.

  • Sweet: Guy starts a NAZI thread then says he won't lowe himself.  Will protect Kirby's family  tmbz1 Anytime Calhoun and Kirby would start losing badly in a bang they'd call ADMIN or whomever had the BANDED button, then taunt their enemy who was beating them to a pulp to apologize...basic ally they need to have someone's hands held behind their backs so they can throw their mousy haymakers which land like cotton balls  ngc3  The no shows, all that bullshit is no surprise, compared to having to band someone who kicks your fucking teeth in, deservedly.  ngc3  Kirby & Calhoun - forever.  :-*  If they're HOF, then the Plop HOF is complete bullshit!  ;D
