With just three weeks left of the 2019 meet at the Finger Lakes Racetrack in Farmington, New York, owners and trainers are beginning to think about their impending moves south to warmer climates. Before the track closes for the season, they’ll often asses each of their charge’s potential as a racehorse and if they don’t seem promising enough to continue their training down south they will opt to list them for sale.
Lucky for you, that means there are a large number of fabulous horses that the volunteers of Finger Lakes Finest Thoroughbreds have been busy listing. Come and get ’em!

Queen Alexandrina (AFLEET ALEX – RAGIN CAJUN, BY EL CORREDOR): 2016 16.1-hand New York-bred mare
Not all queens have to be divas, and Queen Alexandrina proves it. Her super sweet temperament easily won over the FLF volunteers and her handler called her just a “cool horse” who is great to work around, chill, and had not bad habits. Queen Alexandrina won one race and that remains the only time she has hit the board in her 14 starts. Her calling may not be at the racetrack, but her nicely sloped shoulder and powerful hind end suggest that she may have some innate jumping ability. Maybe she could be a cross country queen?

English Manor (TOCCET – RUNAWAY FIELDS, BY RUNAWAY GROOM): 2010 16.2-hand Kentucky-bred gelding
Who is in the market for a fantastic war horse? (The answer to that should be: Everyone!)
When you think of an English manor, what kind of adjectives does it conjure? Classy and regal to name few, perhaps? This gelding is just that. “Manor” is a gentleman and a scholar of the track, racing a total of 113 times and winning an impressive $343,450 over his career. He’s been a durable, reliable athlete for his connections who have decided that he’s paid his dues on the track (even though he won his most recent race!) and it’s time for him to find a second career while he still has a lot left to give.

Sarah’s Rainbow (SHACKLEFORD – DISTINCTIVE FLAG, BY DISTINCTIVE PRO): 2016 16.2-hand New York-bred mare
Even on a chilly and blustery day, Sarah’s Rainbow was the picture of sweetness and politeness. Her trainer introduced her as “The quietest, sweetest, most easy going, innocent, 3-year old filly I ever met. A doll!” and she certainly didn’t disappoint! Sarah’s Rainbow began her racing career late last fall at more competitive tracks like Aqueduct and Belmont Park, but even after making the move to Finger Lakes she still hasn’t been able to hit the boards. While racing may not be her preferred sport, Sarah’s Rainbow is a lovely athletic type with endless potential once she finds her calling.
