I LOVE track horses also <3 I just treat them the same as any other horse though...definitely have a PPE done! Other than that, maybe find someone that can read a form for you look at the horse's stats as other have said. See if there were any changes in medications, if the horse was ever on the vets list, how often were his works posted, and try to look for something without gate issues!! Like someone else said, you're usually getting a really broke horse for the age! They are exposed to a lot and especially the Qh, they're used to being "lit up" so not much should get to them haha. Buying a warhorse or one that was "raced hard"...look at it like you are buying a futurity horse. There may or may not be maint required depending on how the trainer handled him! =] Best of luck to you!

Location: Being pushed over the edge, NM		 A legit off the track horse wouldn't bother me at all, I broker tons of them. Match racers, however, are usually on drugs and they run them into the ground before killing or dumping them. Exams, including drug and hair testing, are always a good idea.

I think one of the most important things to do when buying off the track is to make sure you just ride the horse for a while before patterning it and adding back speed. We have a friend who has a horse off the track and she didn't spend much time getting him nice and broke before running him. The first couple of runs were alright, but now it's starting to show that he's really just track broke. All he is now is a lot of run.

Location: Texas		I have loved both of mine off the track. I think some lines transition over better but I would not hesitate to get another. My 15 yr old has not had any lameness issues
