Nobu, aka 2011 Thoroughbred gelding "Drop A Member" (by Council Member and out of a Phone Trick mare), was rescued from Mike's Auction in December as an intact *double* cryptorchid colt... Clearly, his prior owners had a laugh when registering his name with the Jockey Club.
This sweet boy made it to the racetrack long enough to be tattooed, but never raced. He seemingly wasn't conditioned properly, and went to auction with a popped patella.
After a few months of a careful exercise regimen, Nobu has had three rides under his belt, and is proving to be remarkably broke for just a baby (mind you, he *is* just a baby!).
Yesterday, Nobu had his turn trotting for Dr. Barnes and Dr. Valdez of West Coast Equine Hospital, to ensure all was "in place" with his patella (and the rest of him). Nobu is looking good, and ready to find his adoptive home!
