Well, now, if you ever been out in them racin’ circles, you might’ve heard of a fella by the name of McLean. Ain’t no ordinary horse, this one. McLean is a thoroughbred, born back in 2016, and boy, he’s somethin’ to talk about. Born right here in the United States, in a place that ain’t too far from where we stand, he’s got some good old American blood runnin’ through him.
Now, McLean ain’t just any ol’ horse you see at the county fair, no sir. He’s a racehorse, a thoroughbred, and that means he’s built different. He’s the kind of horse you see in them fancy races, them ones where folks put their bets down and hold their breath every time the horses come gallopin’ ’round the track. You can tell by the way he moves that he ain’t playin’ no games. McLean’s a bay gelding, and he’s got a strong build, real sturdy. Ain’t too many things that can take him down once he gets goin’.
He’s the son of Mass Media, now that’s a stallion that knows how to pass down some good genes. His mama, Rain Cloud, well, she’s got a pedigree of her own, you know. Ain’t no accident that McLean’s turned out as fine as he has. It’s in his blood. Mass Media, for them who don’t know, well, he’s a racehorse himself, and he done made quite a name. And Rain Cloud, well, she ain’t no slouch neither, bein’ the daughter of good stock, passed down from some of the best.
Now, McLean didn’t just pop outta nowhere. He was bred by Robert Stockett, and his owner’s Ronnie P. Ward. And let me tell ya, Ronnie don’t just own any horse, he knows what he’s doin’. He’s also the one who took McLean under his wing, trainin’ him up right. When it comes to the jockey, Juan P. Vargas is the one that takes the reins, and together, they make quite a team, race after race.
McLean’s got some fancy stats to go along with his pedigree. His past performances? Well, they’re lookin’ pretty good. He’s been a steady runner in some of the tougher races, holdin’ his own against some real competition. Ain’t no easy feat, that’s for sure. But McLean? He don’t back down from a challenge. Nope, he pushes through, just like a horse should.
So, now you might be wonderin’, how did McLean get his start? Well, just like most of ’em, he came through an auction. Ain’t no free rides in this world, especially not for a thoroughbred. McLean went through the bidding, and it was clear right from the start that this horse was somethin’ special. Once he was bought, he was set on a course that would take him straight to the track.
McLean ain’t one of them horses that gets a lot of attention from the folks who don’t know about racehorses. But for folks like us, the ones who understand the sport, well, we know this horse’s got heart. He’s got the kind of spirit that don’t quit, even when things get tough out there. You can see it in his eyes, the way he looks out there on the track, like he knows he’s in it to win it.
Now, folks talk about the bloodlines of horses, and they get all technical with their fancy words. But I’ll tell you this – when you look at McLean, you don’t need to know about no genetics or pedigrees to see he’s got the goods. He’s got that drive, that fire in his belly that makes him wanna run faster than the wind. It ain’t just the bloodline; it’s the heart.
Thoroughbreds like McLean don’t come around every day. You might get one in a lifetime. And when you see him out there racin’, you best believe that folks are payin’ attention. He might be young, but this boy’s got a long road ahead of him, and it looks like he’s gonna make his mark.
In the end, McLean’s story is just gettin’ started. Ain’t no tellin’ where this horse is gonna go next, but one thing’s for sure – he’s gonna make some noise in them races. And folks will be talkin’ about him for years to come. You don’t need no fancy pedigree books or high-falutin’ talk to see what kind of horse McLean is. All you need is to watch him run, and that’ll tell you everything you need to know.
