Doc N Roll

b. February 15, 2005, by Wheelaway, out of Georgies Doctor, by Barachois 

Bred in NY by McMahon Thoroughbreds, Doc is a beautiful dark bay gelding. Raced by Sackatoga Stables and trained by Barclay Tagg (the same team that campaigned Funny Cide), Doc sold as a yearling for $125,000 at Keeneland. He was sold again as a 2 year old to Jack Knowlton for $85,000 and began his racing career 7 months later. Doc broke his maiden in his 5^th start by an impressive 10 lengths. His biggest win came at Saratoga in 2008 when he won the New York Stallion Cab Calloway Stakes, defeating multiple graded stakes placed and 2 time Breeders’ Cup placed runner Cannonball. Doc raced 8 more times after his stakes win and was retired from racing with a record of (3-2-2) from 16 starts and earnings of $156,585. Up until his arrival at Old Friends, Doc was being retrained to be a jumping horse. However, he always seemed to just want to settle down and be completely retired. Thanks to the efforts of Jack Knowlton, Doc found a home at Old Friends and is enjoying a life of leisure.
