UPDATE June 2021:

“Big Cheese” aka Doublefour has been SOLD! Congratulations to Bobby Grantham of Silverthorne, CO.


“Big Cheese” has been on the farm since February 2016. He was retired sound and is out with other horses. He is a big goofball. He loves playing with the youngsters. He always loved training and had a fantastic exercise rider at the track who kept him on task but let him think he was in charge. As much as he has adapted to farm life, he like the schedule of having a job. His owner wants him to find a forever home and a second career. He will remain at her farm until he finds his special someone and finds another job.

“Big Cheese” is a 2007, 16.1 hh Thoroughbred gelding. This is a super fun horse to ride. He is forward when you want him to be but will quietly stand at the track for an hour before he trains and he loves to train. His legs are clean and he is free of vices. He would make a super jumper or field hunter. To be honest he is not going to score high in the dressage ring or the hunter ring he is not that nice of a mover but we feel could jump the moon in the jumper ring and would fit in just fine in the hunt field. He is good with the blacksmith and walks right on a step up or ramp trailer. He does well with turn out and is broke to the mounting block already. He is one of his rider’s all time favorite horses to gallop. She has had a blast riding him over these past 15 months.

He does not like to be groomed at all. This is a need to know thing. He is fine for bathes but hates and I mean hates the curry comb. You also must pay attention when leading him in a stall we are guessing someone has let his hip get caught a few times on a screw eye. He is much better now but you still must make sure he is walking in straight to his stall. We feel this is very important information for the person interested in him. He loves treats and is a very, very sweet horse but will need the right person. Don’t overlook him for his quirks he is a fun athletic guy with tons to offer.

Frequently Asked Questions About Buying Our Thoroughbreds

Prices are not published because the price can go up or down depending on how the horse is racing. Most horses average $3500 but can be as low as $1000 or up to $5000. 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.

Jockey Club names are not usually listed on the site as 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 and we will be happy to provide links to their race records and pedigrees when you make the decision to move forward with a purchase. Horses’ whose names are in quotes are not the actual name of the horse. That is the nickname we have listed the horse by.

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.

READ these pages and then CALL . . . Between 9 AM-9 PM East Coast time.  Before you call, you can save us all a lot of time by reading the information on these pages on our Bits & Bytes Farm Web site.

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. Prospect Horses at the Track will only be sold to buyers with the skills and support to make it a successful transition. Prospect Horses are NOT at our farm. They are at the track or their owners’ farms. We do not sell horses for racing.

CALL if you are excited about one of the horses, but PLEASE READ the links above. We will not sell a horse if it is not a good match – no matter how much money you have. Are you a match? CALL and we can see.

Our Phone: 770-704-6595 between 9AM and 9PM East Coast time! We are located in the Atlanta, GA area.

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.

Please read our Pricing Information and Buying a Track Prospect Horse pages before calling.
