The horse actually came with all of his papers. Racing records and all. He is the biggest sweetheart. I was just really curious as to his racing background. The 13 year old was too. But yes Danzig is correct. Knowing he layoffs, etc... is a helpful thing.

We did find out that he was gelded at 3 and a half years old. Didn't place in any races as a four year old.
