Another question!

[slewgrandbaby]

Hi:

Can any of you tell me anything more about our horse? Her name is Knight Falls and she was given to us because she injured herself in her second race. She won the first one by a mile. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again.

Hm. Well here is the APR listing for the mare and her siblings. She raced for two years and made five starts. She could not possibly have won her race by a mile as it was a sprint (6 furlongs). And having won under $5,000 in it indicates it was race with a purse of around $7,500. Was there something in particular you were looking for?

I didn't mean she actually won the race by a mile. I was kidding. What I meant was, she was far ahead of whoever was in back of her. The horse that you gave the info on was for our horse's sister but thank you anyway.

[madelyn]

No, it's not. If you look at the APR listing, the horse you asked about, Knight Falls, started 5 times over 2 years.

Her full sister, Shelving Rock, started 28 times over 3 years.

Regardless of what you were told about Knight Falls, the APR is the official record kept by the Jockey Club and is undoubtedly the more accurate one.

The APR listing provided includes your horse and all of her siblings.

[JimbleBrimble]

Knight Falls won her second race by a mile (9 lengths) then was rested and returned to race 3 more times. She was vanned off the track at Finger Lakes, NY on June 30, 2002, after her final race.

The win came on November 6 of 2001 also at Finger Lakes.

Final record was indeed one win in five starts.
