Ashes of Beloved Hudson Valley Horse Will be Buried in Ceremony
A beloved Hudson Valley horse will be brought to its final resting place this week.
Quick Call has been spending his golden years helping rehabilitate prisoners at the Wallkill Correctional Facility but is better known for his legendary racing career.
Born in 1984, Quick Call was a successful thoroughbred, starting in 89 races and winning 16. During his career, Quick Call earned over $800,000 in purse money. His most legendary wins were at the Forego Handicap in 1988 and 1989 and a surprise upset victory at the 1990 Tom Fool Handicap at Belmont Park.
In 2008, the Saratoga Race Course held their inaugural Quick Call Stakes, named for the famous thoroughbred. More than half of Quick Call s victories were won at the famed racetrack, which will now also serve as the horse s final resting place.

Inmate and Quick Call at the TRF Second Chances Farm at Wallkill
The late Quick Call was more than a gritty horse with a knack for coming up big at Saratoga Race Course.
After winning nine of his 17 starts from 1986 to 1991 at the Spa, Quick Call transitioned in his post-racing career to another starring role in the Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation s (TRF) pioneering “Second Chances” vocational training program, working with inmates at Wallkill Correctional Facility in upstate New York.
That blend of excellence earned Quick Call rock star status at both the Spa and at Wallkill – and now, a rare honor on the Saratoga backstretch. This week, the New York Racing Association, Inc. (NYRA) will bury the ashes of the two-time Grade 2 Forego champion at Clare Court, the bucolic, half-mile jogging track.
