POSTNUPTIAL, 78.20, wins at 9f on Crc grass

POSTNUPTIAL, dk b/br colt, Feb13-01 in FL, by Wm P Sorren, (Alydeed-Lovers Quest [Tridessus-EXCELLATOR by EXCELLER]) got the nod in a tight finish on wed Dec29-04 at Calder, at nine furlongs on the turf, returning a very generous 78.20 as the longest shot in a field of nine 3yo allowance runners. He keyed the very hefty gimmicks of a $667 exacta, $2,142 triple, and a whopping superfecta of $26,409!!!!!!!!

This one's running style of midpack positioning, coupled with a vigorous, gritty drive from the eighth pole home, marks this a horse to watch. He dug down and prevailed by a neck.

His dam, LOVERS QUEST, also produced AMOROUS SHREW and LOVERINEVERYPORT, by Ocala Slew and Blue Ensign, respectively.

Welcome to the blog

Hi!

Thanks for visiting, and welcome to a unique blog devoted to news about the racing and breeding offspring of two deceased thoroughbred giants, Exceller and Ferdinand, who, sadly, share the ignominious commonality of being killed as a direct result of heartless, uncaring owners of these magnificent racehorses.

Here, you can see when they win, plus occasional news about efforts being made to save retired racers and studs from premature destruction via the slaughterhouse.
