We’ve got some lovely horses for you to check out this week, EN! After watching a few OTTBs run around Burghley last week, it was all I could do to not go shopping again. Because, you know, one horse just isn’t enough. I know you all empathize with me on this, right? Glad we agree.
With many racetracks closing their seasons for the winter soon, there will be plenty of horses looking for fresh starts in the coming weeks. Please network and help find these horses their well-deserved new homes!
Here’s the three OTTBs seeking new homes that we’ve selected to feature this week. Don’t forget to tip us at [email protected] if you end up with one of our Wishlist horses!

Our first horse this week is Who Dat Charlie (My Pal Charlie – Lyndsey Love, by Distinctive Pro) a 2011 gelding who is currently available through CANTER Illinois. Currently located at Arlington Park, Who Dat Charlie does have chips in his left knee, and while they are said to be stable and will not get worse, his new owner should take this into consideration when deciding on a new, lower stress career for him.
Who Dat Charlie stands 17 hands and raced 25 times, winning nearly $27,000 in his time on the track.

Our next guy is also a handsome one, a 2010 gelding who goes by Dardanian. This leggy 16.2 gelding raced 23 times, earning $21,397 with two wins and is advertised as sound with no vices. Dardanian (Pulpit – Chief Secretary, by Deputy Minister) has not raced since May and has spent the last few weeks hand walking and awaiting his new home. Take him home today!

Last up this week is La Wild Speed, a 2010 mare standing 15.3-16 hands tall who is available through Finger Lakes Finest Thoroughbreds in Farmington, Ny. La Wild Speed (Wild Desert – Speed on Speed, by Yonaquska) had 39 starts, hitting the board 14 times and earning over $60,000 — our highest earner this week!
This lovely girl was taken out of a tough situation and given some love and care, and she’s now blossomed into a lovely and sensible mare. Her owners have seen that she does not want to race any longer and wish to find her a good home to move on to.
