There are so many misconceptions about how Thoroughbreds are handled and trained at the track. This misinformation causes countless avoidable problems. My goal with this book is to provide information to aid anyone who has, or is interested in having a retired racehorse. I believe a person with a working knowledge of horses and the desire to learn, is capable of handling a horse off the track and being successful, when they have the information they need to understand this wonderful breed. Kimberly Godwin Clark always had a passion for Thoroughbreds. That passion has produced prospects like 4* Eventer Houdini, registered name, Rocky Times, and Breeder’s Bridge to High Performance Winner Constant Star, among the many other horses that have gone on to successful careers. For 25 years Clark galloped, trained and owned Thoroughbred racehorses. She learned to gallop under the tutelage of the great steeplechase rider John Bosley and then went on to the track with Ann Merryman a second generation horseman. She spent most of her professional riding career at Old Hilltop, Pimlico Racecourse in Baltimore, Maryland, but also rode in Florida for several winters before settling at Leighton Farm to begin her new venture in retraining retiring racehorses for new careers in 2007. To achieve success in this new venture, she enlisted the guidance of such icons as Linda Zang, Elizabeth Madlener , Jim Wofford, David Loman and most recently Stephen Bradley. Her training program is based on knowledge she has gained from a lifetime of working with Thoroughbred racehorses and now the incredible guidance she receives from each horse that comes the Leighton Farm Training program. All of the proceeds from this book benefit the 501(c)(3) charity, Thoroughbred Placement Resources, Inc., which helps retired Thoroughbred racehorses find new lives when their race careers end.
