You can’t have just one! Congratulations to Suellen Slockbower on the purchase of her second gray off-the-track Thoroughbred. Detroit Iron will join Suellen’s first gray, Monarch’s Reign, at Bits & Bytes Farm.
Suellen bought Detroit Iron to save him from being ridden by everybody at the farm including Baroness Von River- our Head Assistant Trainer.

Our favorite boy “Lucky” has found his special person! Heather Blair of Warner Robbins, GA is the lucky lady who will get to share “Lucky’s” zest for life. Heather is a good friend of Dr. Susan Llewallyn Goodman (Imatexan and Audible – the mule). “Lucky” will be with Heather until he retires and then he will return to Bits & Bytes Farm. Heather loves his ‘can do attitude’ and they should have a great time together. “Lucky” has been the unofficial mascot of Bits & Bytes Farm for years and he will be missed by all but we know he deserves to be the center of attention for one special person. Heather is his “Lucky Lady”. Read more . . .

We have two more days of training notes for Imatexan posted under our Training Thoroughbreds menu above. Both Imatexan and Spot Run are doing extremely well with their training. Tomorrow we will be posting the diary that Katelyn has been keeping about what she is learning while training Spot Run.
Go to Imatexan Begins Her Training to start reading about retraining a horse directly from the race track. Then continue on to Imatexan’s First Week in Training to see photos and videos of yesterday’s and today’s training sessions.

We have new photos of “Detroit Andy” at home on his breeder’s farm in Lexington, KY. He is all woolly and muddy and just lovin’ life. He has been away from racing for a few months and he is ready to begin training as a sport horse. We are hoping to find him a match with an event rider looking for a horse to take up through the divisions. “Detroit Andy” only raced 15 times and he won only once. His breeder has younger horses, with more potential for winning, ready to begin training so “Detroit Andy” has retired from racing to keep the costs down. The snow is melting and the phones are getting hot so don’t delay in calling about this fine horse.
