Yes, he is the horse who bumped Afleet Alex to his knees in the 2005 Preakness Stakes. He is 17.1 hands high, and a really really sweet boy. And i got to ride him!! :D
Thats soooo awesome you get to ride him!! like literally, sometimes only Jockeys are the ones to ride them then they go straight to stud, but you all are giving him a good life! thats soo cool! haha i wonder if he remembers Afleet Alex?
@RidingWithRuffian haha,and let me tel you: It is something else to sit on top of a triple crown contender! He was GIANT! 17 hh. I know i could never be a jockey, galloping down the track on a beast like htis! But he is the sweetest most puppy dog like horse ever! I hope to visit him some more :D And he's a gelding, so that's why he retired at a small farm instead of a large breeding farm. :)
@Elvira237 Well he's not mine :( Scrappy's current owner's dad knew Scrappy's owner when Scrappy was racing, and now that he's retired, he's been living on Mason Farms, because his original owner knew the Mason Family. But his owner happily lets you come out to her farm and hang out with him! And she also had a grand daughter of Seattle Slew who's in foal! It was a great time. :)
