Today he is known by many names; Felix, Felix The Cat, Fe, Baby McFe, FeFe, FeFe Poodle, The Poodle, FeWee, FeWee KiWi Bird, Shit Head, Piss Pot, The Gray Ghost, Monster, and my personal favorite... Fur Ball.
Racehorse extraordinaire, Felix was not. Regardless of the fact that he sold for over 175 thousand at the Keenland Two Year Old Sale, the only thing young Felix was good at was dumping exercise riders during his morning workouts.
On that fateful day that we met on the backside of Suffolk Downs I had already looked at 43 horses, but when I saw him I knew he was 'the one.'
Two years and more up and downs then I'd care to recount later, I've got a rising superstar on my hands. A goofy, athletic, fury and sometimes infuriating gray superstar. And boy oh boy does he know it...
This is Felix's story.
