I had a great phone call this evening. I found Fason this past spring
through a Canter Ky trainer listing, and today Fason's old racing owner
in Ohio contacted me about a similar horse who just isn't running fast
anymore. He'd like to retire him to a show home and thought of me first.
Apparently the horse is nearly as tall as Fason, sound, 16.3 or 17
hands, 7 years old, chestnut with a blaze, and has that sleek sporthorse
look. He just raced last week and came back sound, just doesn't seem
interested in running anymore. I told him I'd definitely keep the
gelding in mind if I hear of anyone looking. We then chatted about
Fason's progress. It was a wonderful phone call and I feel fortunate to
have access to such good track people, which results in first dibs on
the next fancy sporthorse prospect!
