Don Carlos R.

$50 - $500 per month
Don Carlos (his barn name) is a Puerto Rico Native bred born in 2009, he was bred by Haras Santa Isabel, Inc. Don Carlos had 55 starts in his career and earned $375,725.  He had 25 first place wins , 16 seconds of which 18 of these being grade 1 and 2 stakes races.  Pretty impressive for a native bred horse.   He has quite a fan following in Puerto Rico and has won some very prominent races, including being the first native horse ever to win a Clasico de Caribe race outside of Puerto Rico, the Copa Confraternidad del Caribe (Gr. 1) in Venezuela in 2014. 

 

Don Carlos R was retired to CTA in March of 2020 with his last race a DNF.  He had much racing wear and tear, an old left front sesamoid fracture, a right front bowed tendon with suspensory breakdown and a left hock bone spur. 

After a few months of rehab, anti-inflammatories, and rest he graduated to the sanctuary pasture with his best friend Tito Discount.   

Don Carlos is definitely one of our racing warriors.  He needs corrective shoeing every 4 weeks and we have him checked regularly by the vet to see how he is doing.  Don Carlos, Tito, and Charlie love to spend their days by the river under the bamboo trees, exactly what they deserve in their retirement.
