The Team selected three Thoroughbred Athletes after spending hundreds of hours thoroughly reviewing nearly 2,000 2-year-olds for sale at the Ocala Breeders Sales auction. Two months prior to the sale, pedigrees were reviewed, then a list of nearly 200 horses for personal review/inspection was created. From there, videotapes of gallops were reviewed. Then attendance at early morning workouts to analyze the running styles and identify potential problems was completed. Finally, all medical records were inspected and a veterinarian provided a thorough examination. The result was narrowing the list of 200+ horses down to a handful that met all these criteria, and bidding resulted in the acquisition of the three athletes.
All of this thorough “due diligence” was completed with the goal of developing Redhawk Racing into an ELITE Thoroughbred Racing Stable with the goal of racing success at the track.

Life Advice’s mother is the useful racehorse Ervsayslethergo. “Erv” notched 3 wins during her career and earned over $87,000. She is also the dam of Winning at Ease – a recent winner at Gulfstream Park and earner of $75,000.
Life Advice herself has made four career starts and appears to have an affinity for poly
surfaces. It was a race at Turfway Park on the poly where Life Advice ran near the lead
the entire race only to get run down in the stretch to finish a close 4th in a very zippy time
of 1:10 for 6 furlongs.
