MNRRP is fortunate to work with a number of trainers on the backside of Canterbury Park. Currently we have a list of a few horses that are available. Some will race their last race this weekend and retire. Some are ready now.
A few things to keep in mind about these horses:
1) They are NOT to be raced again. Their jockey club papers will be stamped DO NOT RACE.
2) These horses have been briefly observed by our vet for any obvious issues, however they have not been thoroughly evaluated, xrayed, or given pre-purchase exams. If desired, this will be at the cost of the buyer. The owner/trainer or MNRRP does not/will not assume financial responsibility. You may set up a PPE with a vet of your choice or you may use ours if desired. These horses are being placed/sold "AS-IS".
3) You will not be able to "test ride" the horse. These horses are currently at the track and some are still in race training. You will be able to watch the horse trot out, or possibly arrange to watch it gallop on the track during morning works.
4) Trainers are extremely busy. Please be curteous to their schedules.
5) Some of these horses will be racing this weekend. There is a good chance they will come back sore. Be prepared to give adequate time off, away from the track before you begin retraining.
6) Cash talks - If seriously interested, it is encouraged to bring cash and a trailer. Each day the horse is in the trainer's stable, it's costing them money. Do not ask the trainer to hold a horse for you. Come prepared to look and buy if you find something you like.
All appointements and viewings for these horses will go through a MNRRP representitive. Please call Annie at 612-384-6908 to schedule a showing. I have photos of all horses however Blogger is not allowing me to upload at this time. Check back later.
