Retired racehorses find new home at inmate-built Plymouth farm
Four Suffolk Downs retirees move into stalls built by prison inmates at a 90 acre Plymouth County farm near the coast. The horses join the Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation effort to save retired racers and provide inmates training as grooms and on-track workers. Future Fantasy led with 236,860 career earnings, while Red Minh Energy Center and Charlie Business settled into pine stalls awaiting new lives away from racing.
