Thoroughbred Makeover

The unraced son of Temple City has made quite a name for himself by consistently placing in the ribbons in a variety of disciplines.

Fairly Obvious and Lindsey Partridge’s multidisciplinary success earned them the TAA High Point Award, the Top Pennsylvania-Bred Horse Award, and the Pennsylvania HBPA Award at the 2019 Thoroughbred Makeover.

Arch Daddy made eight starts as a 4-year-old before retiring with a record of 2-0-0 and earnings just under $64,000. The half brother to multiple grade 1 winner Lord Nelson retired to TAA-accredited Final Furlong.

A total of 19 Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance-accredited organizations are represented with entrants at the 2019 Thoroughbred Makeover Oct. 2-5 at the Kentucky Horse Park.

The Mike Maker trainee earned just more than $383,000 and won the 2017 West Virginia House of Delegates Speaker’s Cup Stakes, but now his strong work ethic is proving useful in the jumper arena.

Born with the makings of a great racehorse, by Unbridled’s Song and out of a stakes-placed daughter of Malibu Moon, life on the track wasn’t for him and he retired with a 29-3-4-3 record.

As a racehorse, the son of Quality Road made six starts in his on-track career but only earned one placing. He found his niche off the track in a discipline that surprised his adopter Alex.

The Retired Racehorse Project’s Thoroughbred Makeover was a success and the TAA is proud to see so many accredited organizations well represented with competitors in nearly every discipline.

With the Thoroughbred Makeover coming up this weekend, the TAA is proud to have over 60 competitors representing TAA-accredited organizations from all over the country.
