  • Driving a Morgan Offers Endless Possibilities
    Magazine Articles Driving a Morgan Offers Endless Possibilities Written by Suzy Lucine “Morgans are a very intriguing breed,“ said Suzy Stafford, whose Morgan mare, PVF Peace of Mind, was the 2016 USEF International Horse of the Year. “They have many natural attributes that lend them to be exceptional driving horses. The breed is a strong, powerful type with a trainable attitude and exceptional work ethic. The breed’s power to size ratio still baffles me. “Morgans were bred to drive,” Suzy explained. “Years of breeding traits that lend themselves to be good at the job of driving are very evident.” When a little bay stallion was foaled in 1789 in Springfield, Mass., you would be hard-pressed to find anyone in the area who believed he would become a prolific sire and change the face of American equine history. Justin Morgan, a teacher, composer and horseman, acquired the colt and named him Figure. Later, Figure became known by his owner’s name, and went on to become the foundation of the Morgan horse breed. Justin Morgan made a name for himself by out trotting, out pulling and out running the best horses the New England and Mid-Atlantic regions had to offer. However, his everlasting contribution to the breed came with his ability to pass his distinguished characteristics on to his offspring and several generations to follow. During this era, equine enthusiasts were looking for horses that were gentle, easy to train, and were sound with natural ability and agility. Soon people were looking for horses that also looked good, and those rich with Morgan blood fit the bill.

  • Horse Racing Horse Racing Is a Popular Spectator Sport, and People Have Almost Surely Been Racing Horses Since We Began Riding Them
    Horse Racing Horse racing is a popular spectator sport, and people have almost surely been racing horses since we began riding them. Many breeds participate in racing. The most common types of races are flat racing, harness racing, and jump races. Flat Racing Flat racing is racing with the horse ridden by a jockey, and over a flat racetrack. The length of the race can vary from 300 yards to over 2 miles. Quarter Horses and Thoroughbreds are the two primary flat racing breeds in the United States, although many breeds participate in racing around the world. Quarter Horses are best known for racing short distances, 1/4 mile or less; while Thoroughbreds are best known for racing longer distances. The three most famous Thoroughbred races for 3 year olds in the United States are the Kentucky Derby, which is 1 1/4 miles long, the Preakness Stakes, which is 1 3/16 of a mile long, and the Belmont Stakes, which is 1 1/2 miles long. For more information, check out the National Thoroughbred Racing Association. Harness Racing Harness racing is a sport where horses are hooked to a two wheeled cart, known as a sulky, and race at a trot or a pace. In the United States, Standardbred horses are most often used for harness racing. Standardbreds are so named because horses needed to be able to trot a mile in a standard time to be eligible for registration. Most Standardbred horses in the United States are descendents of a horse named Hambletonian, and one of the most prestigious Standardbred races, the Hambletonian Stakes, is named for him.

    Friday, January 5, 2018 Racing?s continuing conundrum Making positive change that benefits both bettors and horsepeople is a tricky business. by Brett Sturman In today?s HRU Propulsion qualifies for Prix d?Amérique page 4 Morgan wins 16,000th race page 6 No Days Off page 7 Ask The Guru page 10 Burkett, Settlemoir earn President?s Awards from USHWA page 12 Meadowlands introducing slate of late-closing series page 13 Hollywood Dayton handle up 52 per cent page 14 Last week on Facebook, the Tetrick Racing fan page posed a question to the racing community in the form of a New Year?s resolution: What changes would you like to see implemented in harness racing? As of press time, the question had elicited an incredible number of nearly 300 responses. After reading through them all, one thing that I took from the collective comments is that man, do people really hate post drags. The other, is that a noticeable number of responses continued to point out the disconnect between horsepeople (owners, trainers and drivers) and wagering interest in the sport. In a column last year, I talked about what is a reasonable balance when it comes to bettors expecting drivers out to drive a horse fairly each race, and drivers in part needing to look after the well-being of their horse. What?s now even more apparent is some of the things horsepeople would like to implement would, unintentionally, be a detriment to the sport from a betting standpoint. One suggestion that was made a number of times was the idea of paying out purse money to every horse in a race, instead of paying the traditional one-through-five placings.
