Ex race horse history?
I recently acquired an old ex race horse on loan from on old friend. I know a little bit about his history but not much. I know that his racing name was go dancer and that he won 10 races. I am in Australia but i haven’t been able to find records on any Australian thoroughbred directories. The only other thing i know about him is that he is coming up to 20. I am in VIC and his brand is a H with a ring around it, but no one i have talked to seems to know who owned this brand . If anyone out there knows anything about him or his brand it would be appreciated. Thx guys
Have you tried speaking to someone at the Australian Jockey Club? They will have records of all the Thoroughbreds born in the country and that will help you to trace his race record and any siblings.
If you know his racing name you could try a site like www.pedigreequery.com as they might have a listing for him.

How can I get a job at Arlington Park working around the horses?
Can anyone near or around the Arlington Park horse track area
help me. who do I call or write. I use to work around horse’s two years ago at a horse farm in Colorado, but never a race track. can anyone help thanks
The easiest way is to go to the gate for the backside and tell security you’re looking for a job, they will send an announcement out that any trainer looking for help to go to the gate, at least they do at most tracks I’ve been to. You may not get hooked up with the best trainer, at first, but with such high turnover with workers you will most likely at least get your foot in the door. I would also try to look up websites for some of the trainers located there and call them to arrange an interview, or call the track, they should be able to give you a number you can reach most of the trainers on.

Should I get these?
I’m not sure where this goes, but it has to do with chaps and barrel racing, so I’ll just put it here.
Anyways…
I’m looking around for some less expensive western chaps and found these:
http://www.horse.com/products/gift-0__sku-WEC11.html
Do you think they’re a good buy?
I also found this book on barrel racing. I was wondering if anybody had ever read it before and if yes, was it any help?
http://www.horse.com/products/gift-0__sku-FBA52__sale-1.html
No, I’m not showing. I want some for my camp and riding lessons.
The chaps are definately fine for camp, lesson ect. Suede is definatly the way to go there, it is cheaper and doesn’t wear out as quickly.
I havn’ t read the barrel book, but my experiance has been that it is hard to learn techniques from a book, you would be better off finding a good barrel trainer.

Have you heard of the famous horse races in Saratoga Springs, New York?
I’m just wondering how many people have heard of them, because I live there. Are they really all that famous? In magazines and stuff I see ads for Saratoga Springs, how historical it is, and how much it has to offer, but to me, it’s just a boring little city.
Ive heard of it.
