Abused horse recovers... races.
 

Veteran trainer John Attfield has been around Thoroughbreds his entire life, but he never trained one quite like Mr. Mann.

John Attfield said, "The hardest thing to do with this horse was to get him to trust people."

He was badly malnourished and near death when he and six other Thoroughbreds were rescued from a Niagara County Farm.

The four year old's wounds have healed and Mr. Mann ran his first race last week at the Fort Erie Race Track.

Nice story.. Thanks for posting it..I will have to keep an eye out for him to run. Glad to hear he ended up with a good home.

Nice story, but errors made it hard to find Mister Man (not Mr. Mann). After searching charts back to mid Aug, I had no luck, so searched by trainer and found it.

The race footage in the video in the story was of no help as it was Harlem Rocker in the Prince of Wales Stakes in July.

I updated his Ped Query page, as there was nothing but sire,dam,year. He earned $104 in his race. Hopefully he will have a decent life.

Mister Man, is running today in the 7th at FE ( 7 MTP). His debut race was on Sept. 1, 2008 at FE, Race 10.
