Dusky's Fling

Postby hrslover135 » Sat May 20, 2006 3:44 pm

Hi my name is April and about a year ago I bought an registered 16 year old thoroughbred mare named Dusky's Fling. I want to find out any information I can about her (racing records, pedigree,pictures,history, bloodlines, breeding records,other records, pictures etc.). I know that she was born Feb. 2, 1990 and that she raced at Tampa Bay Downs. Her breeder was James P. Lowe Sr. and her owner/trainer was Jim C. Blackwood. I really hope someone can help me find out information about them so I can contact them and try to get some more history and information about Dusky.I would really appreciate it if you guys could find anything for me and post it on here and/or send it to [email protected] or to my work at [email protected]

Thank you so very much! Sincerely, April

p.s. If you find out that she had any foals and knew anyway that I could find out more about them too, it would be great!

" Amanda Burkhardt, Punta Gorda, FL: I have recently purchased a exrace horse, named Dusky's Fling. I really want to find out everything I can about her and her history. Is there anyplace where I can find: racing records, breeding records, progeny, pedigree and maybe if I'm luck pictures (I know she never finished better than 4th place). Is there anyone or place that will help me find it for free. I really wish I knew someone who had the resources at their fingers and could just send everything they can to me.
The Answer Man: You're in luck. It is possible for you to get everything you want except for pictures. Unless you somehow stumble upon someone who owned the horse and has photos of their own, you're not going to find any. If she'd won a race, you could get a picture from the racetrack photographer, but if her best finish was fourth, they would have had no reason to take her picture.
But you can get all the other stuff from one of the two databases in Kentucky. Click here to find out how to get those things. However, it won't be free. Won't cost a lot, but won't be free.
One longshot possibility: If you get her race record, that printout will show her owner and trainer for her last start. If you could track down one of them, you could probably learn a lot about her. See the entry below for details on that subject.
If anybody out there knows Dusty's Fling and can help her, send me an e-mail and I'll forward it on to Amanda.--December 2. "

Dusky's Fling is a 1990 mare by Double Freedom out of Dusky Preview by After Eight. She raced 8 times over two years and did not win, place or show. She earned $423.

She is shown in the '06 APR as having had three foals:

1995 Barren
1996 Incredible Fling,Dkbbr,c,Incredible Luck Unraced
DP = 11-4-3-0-0 DI = 11.00 CD = 1.44
1998 Incredible Preview,Dkbbr,f,Incredible Luck Unraced
DP = 11-4-3-0-0 DI = 11.00 CD = 1.44
1999 Unnamed,f,Incredible Luck (Live Foal)
DP = 11-4-3-0-0 DI = 11.00 CD = 1.44

There is not much else to report... not much in the way of racehorses in this family until you hit the third dam.

Her pedigree is on this site.
So Run for the Roses, as fast as you can.....
