OTB

Pictured an 18 yr. old 16'3" Broad Brush stallion I used to own.  Left click to see the nice set of legs on this horse.  1997-1998 at KY Horse Center in Lexington Gold Brush was one of the better lookers.  More coppery in those days.  Broad Brush--X--Sharpen Up.  Old timers will recognize Sharpen Up.

Vid was sent to me by new owner Ruby from Oregon.  I'd sold GB in 2000 after retirement to a lady Vet in Western Colorado who was going to breed the horse to racers.  Ruby recently rescued GB from this Vet and found him standing in a small pen in his own manure, skin and bones.  So goes OTB.  Ruby then communicated with me and the vid shows she has the horse now in decent condition.  Good for him.  GB was one of the better lookers.  Striking animal as a youngster..

And, he could run.  Derby type prospect.  GB was injured in his first speed work.  Rider ignored the instructions to do 3f in :15s.  The resulting :36 caused a developing stress fracture, and end of Derby road.  Control the riders.  Brush later at Lincoln showed what he could do galloping but then injured his eye and was retired.

Ruby, a QH lady, recently bought 4 mares to breed to GB, several of the with a lot of wins.  Should be interesting and best of luck to her and my old horse.

Training--rain predicted next 5 days.  Yesterday horse was walked under tack and had a nice riderless run. Nob's aging leg tendons being reacquainted to the saddle.
