Sailor's Return is a classy, 16.1 hand, 8 year old, chestnut gelding who came to us in partnership with Beyond the Wire in Maryland. This guy is a true warhorse having raced 72 times. This gorgeous guy sold for $275,000 as a yearling in Kentucky, and must have looked every bit of his breeding at the time as he's by Declaration of War and a grandson of Storm Cat (on his dam's side).

In addition to being a warhorse, Sailor seems to be made of iron. His legs are remarkably clean, tight, and he was very sound both at the track right after his last race and here at ATR for his intake evaluation. Everyone, our vet included, is impressed by the incredible condition he arrived in and he has a great prognosis to go in any direction for his next career.

Sailor has also been a gentleman since arrival. He's been very kind and straightforward to handle and is currently turned out with another gelding without issue. He's enjoying some very well deserved downtime to be a horse and let down from his incredible career, and we will likely start him back under saddle again in June if he's not adopted sooner.

Sailor is certainly available to someone willing and able to restart him themselves, and we suspect with his history he will be a very fun project to bring along. Warhorses like him typically come with a been-there-seen-that attitude that makes for an incredible partner.
