Who would want to purchase a horse w/o this man's opinion? Certainly, not me! Thank you, Mr. Contessa! ❤

Kudos to Gary Contessa for sharing an insider's view on shopping for racing prospects. His generosity in sharing info on all aspects of owning a racehorse is commendable, and a boost to the sport.

Thanks for sharing your insight.

thanks Gary. ..for all your advice. .I'm always watch your video and always admire you..Angelo

Thank you for doing these videos, please keep doing them

gary this all good stuff love watching

I asked the question about watching the walk before you got to the subject.

If I were on the market for a racehorse and had money to burn, I would be keeping in mind a model of American Pharaoh's running action and use that as a "model." I know you are retired from training now, Gary, but it would sure be interesting to go to a sale with you! How reliable is it to list the "good walkers," the striders. Does that consistently translate or carry over on to the race track?

Gary, what are you doing these days now that that you have retired from race training?

Ocala breeze up sales,SPEED,SPEED,and more SPEED, how fast can we go...

this a very very funny video ,, the majority of his purchases in the last 10 years he bought for 40k or less I always threw them out when I was betting 2 years old races in New York they all turned out to be awful his winning percentage overall 5% he was terrible. his 5 % winning record out of 100 is terrible ,,, But he tells a good video ,,,,his owners are just throwing away their money paying the day rate on his 2 years olds purchases they lost a ton of money

You're not even training any longer.
