Pedigree Query

I'm trying to find any information on my OTTT, Flying True. He is by Is It True and out of Flying Lassie. I'm trying to find any information on his past races and perhaps what farm he was from. This is the info. I have so far that I suppose would be of any importance:

I got a lot of this interpreted my another person... but I'd still like more. Especially with the stuff regarding his potential as a stud... I wasn't able to traslate that. Perhaps someone can help me. Tru is a 1996, dark bay, 16.2hh registered TB. He's definitely been off the track for a couple years now... I'm not sure how long exactly.

This is his dam's ped.

Thanks... but I had that already... and it's not really giving me any information on his past.

What's to know? He raced for 3 years, made 28 starts, earned $30,116 with four wins (16 times on the board) in sprints, with a max speed rating of 82. He must have been running in beer money races. He sold for $21K as a yearling at Fasig Tipton against an average for that sire that year of $42K.

As a stallion prospect for racehorses, it looks pretty grim.

Anyone know of a way to find what farm he was born at or raced from?

Here's a start:

Breeder: Jim H. Plemmons

Wow, thanks! Hopefully I'll get somewhere with that information...

Hi Katie,

I checked into your horse, and most importantly is that Jim Plemmons is a good judge of horse flesh, so I wouldn't dismiss any stallion he bred from being a useful sire for non-commercial purposes.

It is true that your horse was racing near the bottom of the barrel when he was at Beulah Park but he had a good turn of early speed and was able to win in a romp in a Special Weights maiden race as a three-year-old.

Perhaps you might send a letter to his long-time trainer Jake Radosevich and see what he thinks about the idea.

One wonders why someone would have suggested that he had a "max speed rating of 82" when it is completely erroneous and an obvious misunderstanding of the data before you.

Anyway, Flying True last raced on June 16, 2001 at Thistledown, Ohio.

His wins were as follows:

Dec. 8, 2000 at Beulah Park, Ohio

Oct. 15, 2000 at Beulah Park, Ohio

June 6, 1999 at Mountaineer Park, WV


hope this helps you.

Thanks so much... this is so wonderful. Just so you know, he's not going to be a stud... at all. Haha. He's currently being trained to event here in Pennsylvania.

I worked for Jim Plemmons, was his asst farm manager back in the waybacks before he moved with his entire operation to Kentucky. He was a real student of Thoroughbred bloodlines, and had a burning desire to win the Kentucky Derby. He managed to get it done, with Lil' E.T. I'd say he was entirely capable of picking an outstandig horse, whether for breeding or racing purposes.
If your horse came from his breeding program, he was undoubtedly capable, at the very least!

Wow... thanks. That's quite impressive. Tru is in a training right now to be an eventer and shows major promise. We just went to a Pony Club dressage show this past weekend and he was just wonderful.

Ummm. Lil E Tee? Won the 131st KY Derby? He was bred by Larry I Littman (who names his horses starting with his initials), trained by Lynn S. Whiting, and owned, at the time he won the Derby, by Cal Partee. Where is Jim Plemmons? I don't recall mention of him at all in the book about Lil E. Tee.

Thanks for all the info. guys! Wonder if I can get more...

This may help.
