Raced by composer Burt Bacharach and conditioned by Richard Mandella, the West Virginia- bred went from his victorious first start right into stakes company, polishing off The Hollywood Prevue Breeder’s Cup (G3), then drawing away from Thunder Gulch to take the G1 Hollywood Futurity. At three, Afternoon Deelites continued his winning streak in the San Vicente (G3) and stretching out to two turns in the San Felipe (G2). He prevailed in the Malibu S (G1) at Santa Anita, and at four won the Commonwealth Breeders’ Cup H at Keeneland. Always piloted by Kent Desormeaux, Afternoon Deelites earned $1,061,193 lifetime and won 7 of his 12 starts. He stood at Airdre Stud for much of his breeding career, then at Clear Creek Stud in Louisiana. Old Friends is grateful to Val Murrell of Clear Creek for the privilege of retiring him to our Kentucky farm. Afternoon Deelites’ top progeny were graded stakes winners Zappa, Three Hour Nap and Miss Pickums, but he also has the rare distinction of having sired a movie star—our very own Seabiscuit ―actor,‖ Popcorn Deelites.

Built in 1969, and formally named the Kentucky Horse Center was originally situated on 133 acres of prime central Kentucky farmland. Established as a Thoroughbred training and sales facility by Rex Elsworth and Dr. Arnold Pessin, KHC was immediately popular as an alternative to training at the local racetracks. Amenities at the training facility included a 5/8-mile track with a metal roof, two barns made primarily of concrete with metal roofs that could house up to 260 horses and had 40 tack rooms and a state of the art, 920 seat sales pavilion, complete with a lounge and full service bar. The Thoroughbred Center is nestled among the most lavish horse farms in Lexington. Our tour offers a ‘behind the scenes’ look at the care and training of Thoroughbreds like no other. During the tour, you will get to watch, at rail side, morning workouts of Thoroughbred horses; see horses up close at trackside, the paddocks and barns; visit with a horse owner/trainer who will answer questions; learn how Thoroughbred horses are trained for racing; experience a typical day in the life of a racehorse; learn why and how Central Kentucky came to be the Horse Capital of the World.

    Old Friends “Seabiscuit” Popcorn Deelites 1998 b G, Afternoon Deelites – Turquoise Gal (Navajo) “I’m not one of the greatest race horses of all time, but I played one in the movies.” This might be the motto for Old Friends retiree “Seabiscuit”, otherwise known as POPCORN DEELITES, a low-level claimer whose career took a turn when he was cast as one of the eight horses to play the great SEABISCUIT in the Oscar-nominated film starring Tobey Maguire and Jeff Bridges. A small blood-bay just like the Depression-era hero himself, “POPCORN” accumulated just 11 wins in his six-year career and earned nearly $60,000. He was acquired by Old Friends with the help of his owner, David Hoffmans of Henderson, Nevada, and his Phoenix-based trainer Priscilla Leon. In the film, you’ll see “POPCORN” often breaking from the gate, as it turned out that was his on- screen specialty. Another Seabiscuit star, RICH IN DALLAS, was also retired through the combined efforts of Old Friends, Robbi Meisel of Flashpoint Photography, Cathy Riccio and the Exceller Fund. He now resides in Virginia. If you would like a share in this horse, you may complete the form below.
