Where can I go to find out wether or not a racehorse in the U.S.A. is deceased or retired???

Question

I've already tried pedigreequery.com, theres nothing on there about him except his breeder and owner, which would now be his previous owner. I have a watch on him on dailyracingform.com in case he works out somewhere or runs in a race but I haven't seen anything about him on there for months. I emailed The Jockey Club yesterday and the woman told me she would be able to see wether or not a death certificate was recieved but thats still not 100%. He's a gelding so he wouldn't be standing stud anywhere. Does anyone know trainer Mark Fusco? He trains horses at Monmouth Park I think, that's who was last training the horse I'm looking for. The horse's name is Silver Banker, he's by Holy Bull out of a mare named Secret Show. He would be 5 years old now. I can't find any way to get ahold of the trainer that had him, I can't even figure out where he traines. Anyway, hopefully the Jockey Club can help me. Maybe he's just layed off right now, he had stifle problems.

Answer 1

Try typing his full racing name into www.pedigreequery.com, as they sometimes list whether a horse is deceased or not.

Otherwise your best bet would be to call up the US Jockey Club and ask them very nicely if they'll tell you.

Answer 2

i dont know if he was a TB or a quarter horse, but you can get on either of theree websites and look them up, it will tell you if they are deceased. and also try the jockey club

Answer 3

what's his name?

Occasionally pedigreequery will list if a horse has been retired and/or euthanized. If he's standing stud somewhere, then stallionregister.com will have him listed.
