A letter from a G1 Stablemates member

The following is a letter WinStar Farm recently received for one of our Stablemates members. We are very appreciative of the kind words and are thankful we were permitted to share them publicly. 

I want to thank you so much for the most fantastic experience with racing that I have ever had! Participating in the practicing and bathing on Thursday morning was truly an unforgettable time. We were up close to so many incredible horses, their spirituality definitely touched me, and lifted me. All of your tender care for us was tip top, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I loved being part of the paddock fun, and the schooling was really interesting. Carpe Diem and Upstart, and all of you, humans, were the ideal hosts and hostesses for all of us.

The festival party was a total success with every part of it being perfect. I can honestly say, that I can’t remember when I have had so much fun! Getting together with other Stablemates, that we’ve come to know over the years, is brilliant fun.

Receiving the shoe from Carpe Diem was such a terrific surprise! How lovely of you to think of me in such a kind way. I cherish the shoe from such a handsome boy, and it reminds me of a dynamic day in my life. I am overwhelmed with joy from such a wonderful group of individuals!

And, now, today, I received more great news. All of the tissue samples from my surgery last Monday, came back benign, no malignancies! I will have to return to the hospital, and have more surgery in the future, but we will cross that bridge, when we come to it! I honestly feel that all of the goodness and fun that I experienced at Churchill, helped to make my surgery successful. My surgeon told me that he is astonished that the test results came back so well. I give Glory to Our Lord.

Again, a huge thank you to you, Giulia, Elliott, and all of the outstanding individuals, who made a once-in-a-lifetime dream come true for me. Cousin Betty and I were treated so kindly, the entire day was impeccable!

Wishing all of you the best, in every way, always. WinStar Farm is the ultimate horse farm, surrounding equine with the best care and experiences known. I am honored to be part of WinStar Farm Stablemates.

Thank you again.
