Competition Quality, No Vices, Clean Legs
“Gal” is a 2010 bay, 16.1+ hand Thoroughbred filly for sale directly from the racetrack. She is clean legged and vice free. She has a fantastic free walk which is very forward and beautiful. This mare is the complete package. She could be a field hunter, dressage or 3-day event competitor.
“Gal” is a very nice clean mover and loves to be ridden. She cross-ties and single ties and stands for the blacksmith. She would make the transition from track to show horse with no issues. She loves peppermints and carrots and loves to be brushed. She has been regularly turned out between races and given breaks during the winter so adjusting to turnout will not be an issue. Her only blemish is an old scar that happened to her as a weanling. It is thru her left front hoof which has never been a problem. If you are looking for a horse to retrain and show or sell, this could be your “Gal”.
See a video of her walking to the track on our Google+ page. She is qualified for the Retired Racehorse Project competition. Buy your project horse now as everyone will be looking in February and March and the prices will go up on all qualified Thoroughbreds. The trainers will be getting a lot of calls, and they will raise their prices. Supply and demand. NOW is the time to purchase.
“Gal” has been returned to her breed to be a broodmare.
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.

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.
