Creme de la Fete
Sorry for getting off topic. Found this story of Zilly's entrant

WALLKILL, N.Y., Aug. 7 2003 — About nine years ago, a chestnut thoroughbred named Creme de la Fete was assigned a new groom, Efrain Silva. He gave the horse antibiotics, scrubbed his mane and forelegs, dewormed him and, in Mr. Silva's estimation, prolonged his life for about three years.

But when Creme, as he affectionately called the horse, grew old and weak, Mr. Silva was not ready for it. Creme had become his second family, the only living being he had any meaningful relationship with on many afternoons.

Told that Creme, a former racehorse, had been euthanized while he was at lunch one afternoon, Mr. Silva wept openly in front of his fellow inmates in the mess hall at the Wallkill Correctional Facility, the medium-security state prison here.

"I fell in love with that horse," said Mr. Silva, who was sentenced to 15 years to life for shooting a man to death while intoxicated in front of a Bronx liquor store in 1981. "The day I met him, I looked into his eyes. I says: `I'm going to take care of you, Creme. You watch.' "

Through a partnership with the Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation, the nation's largest and oldest thoroughbred-rescue operation, the prison has operated a work program for the past 18 years for inmates to care for the former champions, runners-up and perennial losers. ….



….When Creme de le Fete was near the end, with a tumor in his thyroid, Mr. Silva spent more time with the horse. "I used to take him out, bathe him, whatever he needed," Mr. Silva said. "I knew he knew me. I still miss him."

Wasn't Prized claimed for $17,500?

Videogenic for $100,000 was pretty big back in the day as well.

Oh and let's not forget Seabiscuit.

Joe Shea, at FL, had 7 claims on him - in the same race! He was the top handciap horse at the track the previous year, and debuted for $1500 that day.
Had a knee the size of a small automobile, but still won.

LOL. What a way with words. I imagine a book on capping; you & a co-author, one very learned like Dave S. or Formula, AND you Tom writing the commentary.
What insights. I'd buy 20 copies.

"Burnt Out" arthritic joints simply LOOK bad. Their function is another story.

[46zilzal]

Don't think Prized was claimed. Clover Racing Stable and Meadowbrook Farm were owners.
