Can you find any photos of Marfa? He was my OTTB jumper's sire. I haven't found any photos.

Hi there! There’s quite a few Marfa’s that I found, so I had to do some narrowing. The most recent one was born in 1980, sired by Foolish Pleasure, out of Gray Matter. That one would probably be out of the question, but I don’t know how old your jumper is, so! This is him, on the off chance!

A heartfelt goodbye Forty Niner, a hearty horse from a bygone era of racing. The stallion had just celebrated his 35th birthday on the 11th. What a life and what a legacy.

“Happy birthday to Cicada, a member of the 1967 Hall of Fame class. Cicada was foaled at The Meadow in Virginia on May 9, 1959. Campaigned by Hall of Fame Pillar of the Turf Christopher Chenery’s Meadow Stable, Cicada was trained by Casey Hayes. A bay filly, Cicada raced from 1961 through 1965, winning 23 of 42 starts and earning $783,764. A champion at ages 2, 3, and 4, Cicada won 11 of 16 races as a 2-year-old, including the Schuylerville, Spinaway, Matron, Frizette, and Gardenia. As a sophomore, she won the Kentucky Oaks, Acorn, Mother Goose, and Beldame. At 4, her victories included the Distaff, Vagrancy, and Sheepshead Bay handicaps. The BloodHorse ranked Cicada No. 62 among the top 100 racehorses of the 20th century. Cicada died in 1981 at the age of 22 and was buried at Jonabell Farm in Kentucky.” (x)
