Shanghai Prince
Meet Prince – The Ultimate Gentleman
Meet Prince – The Ultimate Gentleman
Shanghai Prince is exactly what every OTTB lover dreams of: a well-behaved, affectionate horse with a heart as big as his racing record. This stout, handsome gelding is the quiet barn favorite who wins everyone over with his sweet, easy-going nature.
A 2018 son of Shanghai Princess out of the great Western Pride, Prince carries some of the best bloodlines for trainable, laid-back offspring. Western Pride has produced stars like Made In Her Image (The Marvelous Missy Mae), Justnamehimeddie, Twisted Pride, and the seller’s own special mare Cowgirls Pride — all known for their calm temperaments and sweet attitudes. Prince may be one of the last Western Pride horses we ever offer, as his sire has passed away.
Shanghai Prince is a 2018 Thoroughbred Gelding 16.1 ½ hh | Sound | Kind | Ready for a New Career!
Racing Career & Soundness
- Still actively racing at age 8 with 47 starts and nearly $230,000 in earnings.
- At two years old, he had his shins pinfired and a small chip removed from his left knee.
- No ongoing soundness issues. Clean-legged for a horse of his age and mileage.
- Minor fluid on the right knee post-surgery, but it has never affected his performance or comfort.
- Always raced with class and consistency through all conditions with the same trainer his entire career.
Personality & Manners
Prince is the definition of laid-back. He ships to the races relaxed with just a chain over his nose. He’s funny and expressive (that signature “ears back but totally chill” face makes everyone laugh), but he is never mean — just super relaxed and confident.
- Excellent on the ground
- Loads perfectly on the trailer
- Stands quietly for the farrier
- Great feet
- Easy keeper
- Up-to-date on all vaccines, dental, farrier, etc.
Future Career
It’s time for Shanghai Prince to have fun! He has given everything to racing and now deserves a loving home where he can shine in a new direction:
- Hunter / Jumper
- Dressage
- Trail riding
- Pleasure or all-around mount
This versatile, kind-hearted gelding can truly go any direction with the right partner.
Perfect For
Lovers of off-the-track Thoroughbreds who appreciate a quiet, well-mannered horse with proven longevity and a golden personality. Prince is ready to form a deep bond and become your forever partner.

Frequently Asked Questions About Buying Our Thoroughbreds
What is the price of this horse?
Prices are not always published because the price can go up or down depending on how the horse is racing. Most horses average $3,500 but can be as low as $1,000 or more than $5,000 if they are at the farm or have off-the-track training. We will share the prices when you call. If the horse you call about is not in your budget, we may be able to recommend another horse that is.
What is the Jockey Club name of this horse?
Jockey Club name is usually listed on the sale page. Do not call the trainer or seller of the horse directly. The sellers do not want calls from people who have not been screened by us for having the skills to help these horses into new careers. Most horses come with their Jockey Club papers. The links to their race records and pedigrees are listed on their sale page. Horses’ whose names are in quotes are their nickname and not the actual name of the horse.
Where is this horse located?
When we say this is a Prospect Horse, that means the horse is not at our farm in the Atlanta area. Prospect horses are still at the track or owner or trainer’s farm. We can tell you where the horse is when you call. Thoroughbreds move from track to track and to the farm and back. We cannot keep this web site current with so many horses listed and all moving around. That is why we don’t post the location. We are happy to share where the horse is when you call. We may have to make a phone call to find out where the horse is ourselves, but we are happy to share the info with you…if you call. We sometimes do list a horse that is in training at our farm. The price will usually be much higher than a prospect horse as we have already put training on the horse. The longer the horse is in training at our farm, the higher the price. Don’t wait to call about the horses at our farm if you want the best price.

Please read our Pricing Information and Buying a Track Prospect Horse pages BEFORE calling! There are several more pages under the Buying Our Horses button.

They are at the track or their owners’ farms. We do not sell horses for racing.

If you see a horse you like:
Don’t wait to see if he is there tomorrow.
Don’t wonder how much he is – CALL!
Don’t wait to see what your friends say – CALL!
We are not going to talk you into buying a horse! More likely we will ask you to tell us about yourself and your goals. Then, we will help you find the right match or tell you to wait for other horses because none of the current horses are a match.
Prices change based on what price the owner has set. We add a small markup for our services. Prices can go up or down based on how the horse is racing or how quickly the owner wants the horse sold. Most Prospect horses are priced under $5000 with the average being around $3500. Big sound geldings, grey horses and tall horses usually cost more — but not always. Small mares are your best bet if you are price sensitive.
