In most cases you can indeed find and perhaps keep track of the horse you are interested in. First, unless the horse you seek is a Thoroughbred currently racing in stakes company at one of the few tracks that give free past performance for their stakes races, you will not get free PPs online anywhere. There are some pay services that offer past performances for Thoroughbreds and Standardbreds but no free ones.
Thoroughbreds are the easiest to find.
There is much more info out on the web about them and more services for getting PPs and pedigrees. Standardbreds are not quite as easy but there are several resources for them as well. Quarter horses and Arabians each only have one place for finding information and they are both dial-up only pay services. Of course you can always make a post to my bulletin board and hope a fellow reader has information on where they are. In most cases you will get an answer as there are a large number of people that pass through each week.
