Information Wanted: Storm The Gate

Postby jersy87 » Wed Dec 14, 2005 8:06 pm

Hi,
I am looking for more information on April 1997 Gelding named Storm The Gate. Possibly his race record, why he was taken of the track, what injuries he aquired, anything about him would be great.

Also how would I get his papers from the Jockey Club?

He was a pretty good racehorse. He raced over 4 years, 35 starts, 2 wins, 7 seconds and 4 thirds for total earnings of $191K. He took two 2nds in Restricted Stakes.

Regarding his papers, it is not likely the Jockey Club has them, more likely that the previous owner does, or his old trainer, or they may be at the track that he ran at last. He must be fairly recently retired.
So Run for the Roses, as fast as you can.....
