Anyone have a photo they can post or can you point me to where I can find one? Thanks

His race record is there, so maybe you could contact one of the tracks that he raced at and see if they have photos for sale? I hope that helps...

Like any normal lazy person, I was hoping someone that posts here would have one. I know he's not a big name horse but it appears he sired quite a few and he is the dam-sire of Shakespeare. Thanks for the suggestion, I'll start googling for track contact info.

edited to add: I own a daughter, so I'm curious.

E-mail Noel Hickey at Irish Acres Farm. He had him standing there. www.irishacresfarm.com

I do have him on video, BUT I don't dare part with it, and I think it's copyrighted.

Most of his wins were at Hawthorne or Arlington between 1977-1979, and if you contact one of those places and establish that you can still get win photos from back then, I'll give you the needed dates.

good luck

Isanti,
I emailed Irish Acres, but have never gotten any response other than the auto "thanks for your interest" reply. Would it be appropriate for me to call and ask? I'd really like to see a conformation shot.

JimbleBrimble,
Any dates you could supply would be great.

Thanks to you both.

Call and ask for Noel. He talks all day about horses, and is good about getting information to people. Good luck. If I can take a picture of him on video while it's paused, I can try that. I just moved, so I have to find the tape.
