FEBRUARY HORSE OF THE MONTH
ASSUMPTION

Assumption is a stocky 3-year-old gelding by Forest Wildcat. Bred in Kentucky by Overbrook Farm, Assumption raced twice at Parx for the Lynch Racing Stable. Unlike his sire, he seems to have no interest in getting to the finish line first, so was retired completely sound. He is over 15.3 hands, and has unlimited potential--outside of racing, that is!
