How high is Rags to Riches?

Question

In hands

Answer 1

I think she is fifteen 3 I am not certain .. they say she has gained some weight.

Answer 2

She is back in Todd Pletcher's barn at Palm Beach Downs. She has galloped a few times since her arrival here. I stress that I have not stood beside her, but just from the glimpses I have gotten of her on the track she looks to be about 15-6 and weighs in at almost 1,000 lbs. She looks absolutely great!

If you are in Florida here is the address for Palm Beach Downs:

Palm Beach Downs Training Center

Here is great article about her win in the Belmont, with one of the finest pictures of her and Curlin going at it right down to the wire: http://www.ocala.com/article/20070613/SP...

*** edit*** I am so sorry, I was tired last night and didn't re-read my post. I estimated that Rags was 15-6, I hit the wrong key...LOL! It should have been 15-3, but I spoke with someone from Pletcher's barn and he stated that Rags is "a hair shy of 16 hands".

Answer 3

i think she's right around 16.  but she's only 4, she might still be growing.  if you look at the stud registries, they only start listing their height at around 6 or 7 when they've stopped growing and are fully developed.

Answer 4

oh i have groomed her before. she is 16'5 hands

Answer 5

depends how hard you work?
