Meet Don Carlos R, a born and bred Puerto Rico Native who has achieved remarkable feats in his career. With 55 starts under his belt, he has earned a whopping $375,725 and clinched an impressive 25 first-place wins, including 18 grade 1 and 2 stakes races.  

Don Carlos R was retired to CTA in March 2020 after an unforgettable racing journey. And despite facing various challenges, including an old left front sesamoid fracture, a right front bowed tendon with suspensory breakdown, and a left hock bone spur, he is a loving and friendly horse, and gets around quite well.   

Meet Tito Discount, a native Puerto Rican bred war horse with an impressive career on the track - 72 starts and $72,086 in earnings. In 2017, Tito came to CTA with a slab fracture on his left front knee and retired to the facility after being adopted.

Unfortunately, when his adopter planned to move to the US in 2018, Tito tested positive for Piroplasmosis and couldn't join her. Heartbroken, she asked if Tito could return to CTA, where she had sponsored his care for the first three years.    

Meet Micaela D., a chestnut Kentucky-bred mare who retired from racing and came to CTA in June 2023. Unfortunately, "Mica" retired with DJD in her front fetlocks and her hocks. She wasn't able to hold up to work, and is now living her life as a pretty pasture pal. Mica loves her turnout, and is a great pasture buddy to her friends. She also lives up the red mare stereotype, and isn't afraid to show her sassy side!
