Online Quarter Horse Dispersal Ordered In Federal Drug, Money Laundering Case

Two Quarter Horses, including a Grade 1-placed runner, will be offered at online auction as part of a court-ordered dispersal for owner Antonio Delgado, who faced multiple federal drug and money laundering charges.

Delgado was one of several defendants charged in September 2020 with two felony counts related to the possession and intent to distribute cocaine. In a superseding indictment filed in the U.S. District Court, Southern District of Texas, on April 20, Delgado was individually charged with two counts of conducting transactions using the proceeds from unlawful activities in an attempt to conceal the money's origin.

One of those counts singled out the purchase of the Quarter Horse Carters Yachtz for approximately $25,000.

The 4-year-old Carters Cartel gelding has won two of four starts, all at Delta Downs, and he most recently finished third in the Grade 1 Lee Berwick Futurity on July 22.

Upon conviction, Delgado was ordered to forfeit several pieces of property, including the horse. Carters Yachtz will be one of two horses offered without reserve on the ThoroughbredAuctions.com online auction platform, with bidding opening on Aug. 8 and closing on Aug. 11.

Delgado has been an owner of record since 2005, primarily racing Quarter Horses. He has won 18 of 112 Quarter Horse starts, and his runners have made $483,784 on the racetrack.

Carters Yachtz is Delgado's highest-earning runner, having made $129,778. He is followed closely by Jls Go Big Daddy, a Grade 1-placed gelding who made $126,433 racing in Texas and Louisiana in the early 2010s.

K2 Solutions Inc., serves as agent for the U.S. Marshals Service in the dispersal, and Carters Yachtz is available for inspection in Bastrop, Texas.
