Abused horse recovers... races.

[zippyneedsawin]

Veteran trainer John Attfield has been around Thoroughbreds his entire life, but he never trained one quite like Mr. Mann.

John Attfield said, "The hardest thing to do with this horse was to get him to trust people."

He was badly malnourished and near death when he and six other Thoroughbreds were rescued from a Niagara County Farm.

The four year old's wounds have healed and Mr. Mann ran his first race last week at the Fort Erie Race Track.
