Looking for "Dancing Warrior" in CA

[Rococoms]

(Periodic reposting- thanks to all who have helped previously!)

I would appreciate any help in trying to find out the fate of Dancing Warrior(2000 bay gelding by Lear Fan out of Danseuse Du Soir). I have been trying for several months without sucess to find out if this special horse is still around.

In 2003, I was a Veterinary Technician at an Equine Hospital in Del Mar when Dancing Warrior was brought in, having eviscerated following a routine castration at the track. He was at our hospital over a month, and survived his illness despite all odds. He had just been purchased by Burt Bacharach at the time, and Dancing Warrior showed incredible determination and will to live by overcoming his severe illness and returning to the track.

I read in an article on the internet that the horse fractured sesmoids in a race at Santa Anitain 2004. Thanks to the research efforts of members of this forum, it has been found out that he was provided surgery (though I can't figure out where) and then donated to a TB retirement farm. I've called/emailed every horse and TB rescue in CA, but still no luck- no one has ever heard of him.

I would appreciate any help/suggestions etc anyone has to helping to find this amazing horse. If he's indeed doing well happy and healthy, I just need to know that. If he needs a home, he has one with me.

The horse was owned by Burt Bacharach while raced, and trained by Julio Canani.

Thanks in advance
