Metro Meteor: The Painting Retired Race Horse


Once sleek and fast, Metro Meteor was a star on the Belmont and Saratoga racetrack. He was bred as a racehorse and was sold to ObviouslyNYStables as their first racehorse. Considered to be one of the fastest turf spinners, Metro won his first race at the age of two. Metro began experiencing bone chips in his knees and underwent two surgeries to have them removed. Each time, he recovered and returned to the racetrack. In total, Metro won eight races in his career. However, his knees became bad and eventually Metro was forced to retire in 2009 from his successful racing and riding career.
