Thumbs up What a gutsy animal!
Good ol' SPOOKY MULDER looked like he was beat deep in the stretch, but he showed that age means nothing to come back and win! This is what horse racing is all about!

Default All Together now: Spoo-ky!
Ever seen a gamer, braver horse than Spooky Mulder? Boy, if we could clone him..., Too bad he's a gelding, because he's the kind of horse we all love to watch run and should be the type breeders want to breed.

(For you X-filers, he has a younger brother by Smoke Glacken named The Smoking Man).

He really deserves the nickname "the gutsy gelding!" What a runner.

The horse he beat Morine's Victory is no slouch. I was at an OTB for the race and all the hard core fans LOVE this old horse. It was a contest and for some of them it cost plenty but everyone cheers for Spooky. It's great.
BTW, he trotted into the winner's circle like he wanted to go around again.

Bruce Golden the former owner of Spooky had Lake claim him back. Bruce Golden lost Spooky when he was claimed for $100K back in April. The claim today had to be for sentimental reasons. Good luck to the new (previous) connections!

We all should put together our winnings, claim this horse and retired him a winner before something happens to him.
I scored the exacta & triple with him today, it's my donation to the cause.

I singled him in the pick 4 with no backup in the race (missed the last leg, too bad), so midstretch I thought it was over and was ready to trash my tickets, but never give up on this guy. Some determination and guts. I couldn't stop talking about it all day... What a great racehorse!
