From Michael,
A soft, steady rain last week softened the ground and allowed our youngest retirees, Game On Dude and Starspangled Heat, to arrange a match race. Despite a determined effort by Heat, Dude just wouldn't let him pass as they flew around the paddock. Pure joy!
We've had a very fortunate year and that good luck is continuing. We've had some amazing opportunities. Bringing War Emblem home. Leasing additional, adjacent acreage. The problem is that opportunities don't arise in a convenient manner. We are anticipating generous donations from the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance and Toyota. But we don't have them yet. Consequently, I have to do what I hate the most, ask for donations. If you're planning to donate before year's end we could really use it sooner than later.
War Emblem should be home before the Breeders' Cup. I'm very grateful to everyone who has participated in our fan-fueled fundraiser for the 2002 Derby and Preakness winner. We still have certificates
available if you'd like to support this effort. Click here.

Time to make donations and make our reservations for the Sunday event after BC. I've read rumors that Touch Gold and Alphabet Soup may be retired to OF.
