With the abundance of OTTB competitions available, it’s really interesting to see how people approach their re-training strategy. It’s so encouraging to see everyone from seasoned pros to capable young riders putting their young Thoroughbreds through their paces in preparation for an upcoming competition.
We’ve got three fresh OTTB listings for your review this week. Don’t forget, if you bring one of our featured horses home, we’d love to read your blogs about your progress! If this is you, please email [email protected]

Our first listing this week is Senor Amarga, a 3-year-old 16.1 hand filly available through After the Races. Senor Amarga (Senor Swinger – Amarga, by Came Home) is unraced and, according to her listing on After the Races, mostly untrained as a racehorse. It is said that she has some knee conformation that her trainer did not think would hold up to racing, but she has been cleared by the vet for other disciplines.
If you’re looking for a young horse with a clean slate, you’ll want to find out more about Senor Amarga on After the Races here.

This pretty girl is available through CANTER Texas. By the way, CANTER just launched a brand new website, and it’s pretty fancy. Be sure to check it out here!
Go For Mula (Mula Gula – Go for Diamonds, by Grindstone) is a 3-year-old filly who has just four starts to her name. She is listed as having some soreness upon retirement, so a lower intensity career may be best for her. Go For Mula stands 15.3-16 hands and is said to be very friendly and even prettier in person.

Finally this week is a listing from Second Stride, Inc. Tater Downs is an older model (7 years old), but don’t let that deter you! If you’re a racing fan, you’ll be excited to know that this guy is a half-brother to Belmont Stakes and Breeders’ Cup contender Ready’s Echo.
Tater Downs raced 25 times, placing 16 times and earning over $150,000. He stands 16.2 hands and is ready to take on a new career in a forever home.
