Market Share, now age nine, has been retired. His last race took place on November 11, 2017 at the Meadowlands Racetrack. He completed his career with 32 wins from 100 starts and $3.79 million in purses. He was a two-time Dan Patch Award winner, for best three-year-old male trotter in 2012 and best older male trotter in 2013.
The gelding, trained by Toscano and driven primarily by Tim Tetrick throughout his career, counted the Hambletonian, Breeders Crown Open Trot, Maple Leaf Trot, and Canadian Trotting Classic among his wins.
Co-owner Richard Gutnick said an attempt to get Market Share a home at the Kentucky Horse Park was unsuccessful, but the horse is turned out at Tetrick’s farm, where Tim’s wife Ashley has been getting Market Share accustomed to being ridden.
“Whatever makes the horse happy,” Gutnick said. “I got in the business for my love of the animal. You have to do what is right. He doesn’t owe us anything; we owe him a lot.”
