Rapid Redux Settles in at Old Friends Rapid Redux Settles in at Old Friends RAPID REDUX Tina Hines photo by Nicole Russo Thoroughbred Times Rapid Redux, who won 22 consecutive races and was honored with a special Eclipse Award, is settling in at Old Friends Equine in Georgetown. The eight-year-old Pleasantly Perfect gelding, who concluded his career in January, was officially introduced as an Old Friends resident at an event Friday morning at the Georgetown farm. Close to two dozen fans and media members were on hand as Rapid Redux munched on carrots, pricked his ears at cameras, and nickered at 1988 Eclipse Award champion sprinter Gulch, in the adjacent paddock. Michael Blowen, Old Friends founder and president, said that Rapid Redux has quickly become attached to Gulch, a seven-time Grade 1 winner who captured consecutive editions of the Metropolitan Handicap (G1) and capped his career with a victory in the Breeders' Cup Sprint (G1). He said that Rapid Redux complains loudly when the 28-year- old stallion walks into his run-in shed, out of sight. "I called up [Rapid Redux's trainer, David Wells] and said, 'David, guess who his buddy is - Gulch!' " Blowen said. "He goes, 'Really?!' " Competing in claiming and starter allowance races, mainly at tracks in the Mid-Atlantic region, Rapid Redux began his win streak with two victories in December of 2010 after being claimed by owner Robert Cole, rose to prominence as he compiled a perfect 19-for- 19 record in 2011, and capped his career with a win in January at Laurel Park. In addition to his special Eclipse Award, Rapid Redux won the 2011 Secretariat Vox Populi Award, which honors the horse whose popularity and racing excellence best resounded with the American public and gained recognition for Thoroughbred racing. Last month, the gelding's connections were presented with the Special Award of Merit by the Maryland Jockey Club. Rapid Redux retired with 28 wins from 41 career starts and earnings of $361,609. Blowen said he spoke with Wells during Rapid Redux's win streak, letting him know that if the gelding needed a home upon the conclusion of his career, Old Friends would like to have him. Following Rapid Redux's final race, he was temporarily housed at Wells' farm in Pennsylvania, and reports surfaced that he would be permanently retired to the Kentucky Horse Park. When those reports proved false, Blowen reached out to Wells again, and a deal was quickly reached to move Rapid Redux to Old Friends. "He said, 'I really want him to go to Old Friends because I don't want him to be retrained,' " Blowen said. " 'I don't want him to have to go through another career. I just want him to have a place where he can relax and have a good time and have a place where all his fans can visit him whenever they want.' " Blowen added that the close proximity of the Hagyard Equine Medical Institute—about 15 minutes from Old Friends in case of emergency—was also a contributing factor in the decision for Wells and Cole. Rapid Redux arrived at Old Friends on Wednesday, courtesy of Morrissey's Pullmans, which shipped him at no cost. Blowen said the gelding has settled in well. "He hasn't given us a moment of grief," Blowen said. "He came here Wednesday, got off the van, went into his stall, looked around, ate some hay, had some water, took a poop, looked out at (miniature horse and farm mascot) Little Silver Charm, tried to figure out what he was—took him about an hour." Old Friends was established as a retirement home for former racehorses, and to allow the public access to them. The organization, a 501(c)(3), is currently responsible for well over 100 horses, between the Kentucky facilities and Old Friends at Cabin Creek: The Bobby Frankel Division, a satellite farm just outside of Saratoga Springs, New York. "With all the current (negative) publicity that racing's been getting, there's some really, really positive and great stories," Blowen said. "This sport is amazing, and it's because of horses like [Rapid Redux]. And if you don't lose focus of the fact that it's all about these animals—and if that's not lip service, if you actually mean it—then it's hard to make a mistake."

    Old Friends Afternoon Deelites 1992 dkb/br H Private Terms – Intimate Girl (Medaille d’Or) Afternoon Deelites descends from Damascus on his sire’s side and Secretariat on his dam’s. 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.

  • AP Valentine
    Old Friends A P Valentine 1998 b H A. P Indy – Twenty Eight Carat (Alydar) On February 14, 1998, Alydar’s daughter Twenty Eight Carat delivered a special valentine, a handsome bay son by A. P. Indy. He was raced by former University of Kentucky Wildcats coach Rick Pitino’s Ol’ Memorial Stable (then called Celtic Pride Stable), and it’s not hard to guess why they named him A P Valentine. A grandson of Seattle Slew and great-grandson of Secretariat, he raced from the barn of Hall of Fame trainer Nick Zito. At two he won the 2000 Champagne Stakes. At three he was a favorite for the Kentucky Derby, and in both the 2001 Preakness and Belmont Stakes he finished second to Point Given. Eventually retired with $864,170 earnings, he began an enthusiastically heralded breeding career at Ashford Stud in Kentucky, but—ironically for a horse named Valentine—he proved infertile. Reproductive specialist Dr. Phillip McCarthy restored a measure of fertility and at Watercress Farm in Kentucky, then Cedar Creek Farm in Texas, A P Valentine sired 28 registered foals. 21 of them became racehorses, and two, A P Valor and Ifonlyjohnny, earned more than $100,000 apiece. Many thanks to Dr. William Day, veterinarian and owner of Cedar Creek Farm, for A P Valentine’s retirement to Old Friends. If you would like a share in this horse, you may complete the form below.

    Old Friends Danthebluegrassman 1999 ch G, Pioneering – Stay with Bruce (Grey Dawn) Dan’s life has been a roller coaster. Sired by the royally bred Pioneering (a son of Mr. Prospector and Secretariat’s magnificent daughter Terlingua), Dan was bred by Ledgeland Farms and sold by consignor Dan Mallory to Michael Pegram. Named after Las Vegas raconteur Dan Chandler (son of Governor, Senator and Baseball Commissioner A. B. “Happy” Chandler and uncle of U. S. Representative Ben Chandler) and trained by Bob Baffert, the big chestnut colt certainly began his career among powerful names. As a 2 year old he won the Gold Rush Stakes in wire-to-wire fashion. As a 3 year old he took the 2002 Derby trail via a win in the Golden Gate Derby (G3) and a close second in the El Camino Derby, scoring the earnings to run in the Kentucky Derby. As it turned out, Dan was scratched out of the Derby, but in June he captured the Northern Dancer Stakes at Churchill Downs. For the next six years Dan continued racing, but eventually, his best racing behind him, he descended through the claiming ranks. In early 2008 Jim Ponte and Tim Ford expedited his retirement to Old Friends. Dan’s return to Kentucky was celebrated at the Old Friends 2008 Homecoming, where the Gallatin County Youth Bluegrass Band performed their “Ballad of Danthebluegrassman,” and he was honored at the National Bluegrass Festival at the Kentucky Horse Park. His roaming days now done, Dan has settled contentedly into life at Old Friends. His gentle disposition and gleaming chestnut coat have made him a big favorite with kids and adults alike.
