Pedigree Query

I was attempting to claim a horse at the Del Mar meet. The horse scratched but I am still interested in purchasing the horse. I made an offer to the trainer and he turned down the offer. Trainer wants the claiming price. I want to purchase for less, as there is a reason the track vet scratched the h...

A court case brought by Jerry Jamgotchian against the state of California resulted in the overturn of the jail rule there. I have to agree with him---it's a property rights issue, which supercedes any "rights" the track may assume. However, the ruling is good only in CA. It will take an action in o...

If I want to move a horse that is " In Jail " off a claim. Can the racing secretary at the track where she was claimed REFUSE to give the new owner ( me ) her papers. I have no intention of trying to go around the " jail " rule, but want to move the horse to a different track in a different state. I...

Is there anyway to monitor when and where Louisiana bred horses are entered in races outside of Louisiana. The one site that I found ( L.T.B.A. ) runs a week behind on the entries.

Are there any web sites out there that deal specificaly with claiming horses. Not the " how to ", but one(s) that follow claimers and make suggest ( perhaps for a fee ) of horses to claim and what track the horse is at?

Would like to purchase a 2 or 3 year old in training. Prefer Louisiana bred, but that is not a deal breaker. Would also consider entering into a partnership or purchasing a percentage of a young horse which has started and shown ability/promise. Please no " back yard" breeders who are in love with t...

Thanks to all who offered advice here and through PM. I am not a breeder and don't know much about the process. I have made the decision that I will give her to a breeder or a responsible person who would like to breed. If I can't find a "breeder" home for her, then I will give her to a rescue or pl...

Thank you for the clarifacation, she has a 1/2 sibling who does not have this trait. I asked the people at LSU if that was a posibility, and they said not very likley. How would you determine such a thing. Her dam was one heck of a race horse. Believe 27 races and over $600,000 in winnings, was Cham...

Vet at Louisiana State University who prformed the body scan says she can handle being a brood mare.

She has a Lameness problem that started about 1/2 way through her 2 year od season. Goes away with rest, comes back in 4-5 weeks. Have ...
