The old adage of “slow and steady wins the race” may just be true with the racing career of Casey s Lear. The daughter of Musketier (GER) finished last in a field of nine under Churchill Down s famed twin spires in her first and only start, a maiden claiming race for 2-year-old fillies. The striking grey then made her way to TAA-accredited Second Stride to find a more suitable job.
Looking for a new endurance mount, Dixie Kendall was immediately taken by what she saw about Casey s Lear first, her beautiful coat; and second, that she had some trail experience. The decision was an easy one for Kendall, who brought Casey s Lear home and appropriately renamed her “Steele.”
