RED RIFLE
was as good as any horse in training. One of those days happened in historic fashion at Sam Houston Race Park on the first day of March, 2014. On that day, the son of Giant's Causeway broke the track record at the distance of 1 1/8, running it in the time of 1:48.73. And he did so wearing the shoes that are the subject of this No Reserve auction. Yes, one fortunate bidder will own an absolute piece of horse racing history around which an entire collection can be built, as I'm listing all four of the actual horseshoes worn by
RED RIFLE

Additional resume highlights include victorious runs in the Grade 2 Hawthorne Gold Cup over the likes of Effinex, the Grade 2 Bowling Green, and Woodbine's Grade 3 Dominion Day Stakes. In addition to the shoes, winner also receives a signed COA documenting the provenance of the shoes which I acquired directly from farrier Ray Amato. T
he shoes come from the estate of noted horse racing enthusiast and prolific collector, former sheriff Clare Noble, who passed away in the summer of 2018. The shoes are in perfect race worn condition. W
