Must Win, the standardbred yearling that found his way up onto a roof last week in Hampton, New Brunswick, has garnered international attention since his adventurous stunt. He has also found a new home.
A follow-up report by Ashley Dunbar of CTV Atlantic explains that the bay colt has been sold.
The article states that the son of Driven To Win had been for sale before he decided to hop up on the roof.
"Everywhere we go people ask you about the picture," Must Win’s previous owner, Stephen Downey, told CTV Atlantic. "It's amazing coverage it's received, it's been all over the world."
Stephen and his wife, Pat, explained how the incident was very odd and completely true. Their comments came after some have decided to question the validity of the photo.
"They (horses) don't like the slant, they don't like different textures,” Pat said. “They don't like going from grass to pavement. These were asphalt shingles that he would have had to have stepped up on."
"You cannot make a horse do something like he did. There is no doubt he was up there all night. He left some deposits on the roof that indicated he was there,” said Stephen, who added that Must Win also did a little bit of damage to the roof.
