16 hands. He last raced on 8/2/25 and retired sound. We are not aware of any injuries he may have had in the past.
Duke is a nicely built, extremely athletic and playful gelding who is in the early phases of adjusting to farm life. He will be an excellent prospect for an experienced eventer or jumper. For fans of track success, Duke won over $450,000 before retiring at six – quick work! He is a grade 3 stakes winner and winner of The Prince of Wales Stakes in Canada, part of the Canadian Triple Crown.
Duke is a lover of carrots and is reported to enjoy a sturdy Jollyball. He has a fun personality, and we are enjoying getting to know him.
He was gelded in mid October.
HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS EVENT: All horses will be half off the listed adoption fee if adopted and picked up by 12/15/25. Limited use horses and companions will have a waived fee for qualified and responsible homes that can commit to a lifetime home or will return the horse to Second Stride if no longer able to keep the horse and can’t find an appropriate home.
