Dude’s First Lady
Clean slate quiet and kind - ready for her new career
Dude’s First Lady is a 2016 bay Thoroughbred filly with a lot of growing still to do. She is already 16 hands and just lightly raced. ‘Dude’ is clean-legged and vice-free. She is a super cool horse to be around. She is well manned on the ground and even when being galloped on the racetrack. She was started correctly and always handled with love and care.
PRICE REDUCED: Race meet ending. Must sell ASAP $1,500!
‘Dude’ is a graduate of the prestigious Keenland Yearling Sales. Her pedigree proves she earned the right to be there. Her sire First Dude earned $1,442,140 dollars racing. He finished second in the Preakness Stakes and the Pennsylvania Derby at three and won the Hollywood Gold Cup and the Alyshebs Stakes at four. His sire is million dollar winner Stephen Got Even, by A.P. Indy who is by Triple Crown winner Seattle Slew. Secretariat, Buckpasser, Raise a Native, In Reality and Nashua are all in this girl’s pedigree. Who knows why she does not want to race, maybe she is just too laid back and wants to be a sport horse and not a race horse.
‘Dude’ is still growing so look past the awkwardness of a baby horse and take a look at her walk and trot! She is a stunning mover with tons of potential to go in any direction. With her kind demeanor, she should make the transition to show horse very easily. $1,500 She could be your Retired Racehorse Project especially if you are looking for an uncomplicated horse to compete with. She is being retired because she has shown no interest in racing. She is priced for a quick sale at just $2,000. Race meet ending. Must sell ASAP $1,500!
Please call for pricing. The price can go up or down depending on the owner. We always check with the owner when someone is a serious buyer. Many times the price goes down to a really good home. We do not own these horses so we cannot control the pricing. We will not sell a horse to just anyone with the money. We carefully select the horses we sell and we work hard to make a perfect match. If you don’t call, we cannot help you. We are not a rescue and our horses are not ‘rescue priced’. Most horses are between $2500 and $4500 – some higher and some lower. Call and we can talk more about our horses and let us help you find the perfect match. We take the gamble out of getting a Thoroughbred off-the-track. Learn more about how our Track Prospect Horses are priced on the main Bits & Bytes Farm website.
I look forward to speaking with you. Please call 770-704-6595 between 9am and 9pm. East Coast Time – Elizabeth Wood
Frequently Asked Questions About Buying Our Thoroughbreds
What is the price of this horse?
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.
What is the Jockey Club name of this horse?
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.
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.

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.

Lynn’s Vision aka Bubba at his last race – July 5, 2008. He was purchased by Melanie Eberhardt right after this race and brought back to Bits & Bytes Farm the next day. Melanie was riding him just one day later and he was a complete gentleman.
