Otis was a thoroughbred and had some racing lines(Nasrullah was his great grandfather. He also has some relation to Bahram). He raced on the track until he hurt his front left ankle. He was born in 1979 and my mother got him in 1985.

Once my father or someone goes to our house in upstate NY I'll have them snag his pedigree so I can find out who the mother was and stuff. :)
