I also want to say thanks for EVERYONE involved. Just to think that in Jan of 2007... I was thinking.. should I put in the $500.00 or not, should I , or not.. well I said ... "" Hey lets see how this ride goes""... and the excitement of a Feb purchase, to the trip to New Orleans, to the first race in Kentucky, and the following races @ THE TOP tracks.... To meet the fine people up @ the sppppaaaaaaaaaa & see the big girl in her barn.. has been such a
FANTASTIC ride... Let me just say If anyone is not sure about getting into this game. DO IT.. When you deal with Steve, Chuck & Chuck's FINE crew.. your dealing with FIRST CLASS people !!!! I hope sumwon enjoys her vacation & keeps the heart of a champion.... Dont worry THAT Winners Circle Picture is going to be VERY SPECIAL. To all my partners.. Thanks for letting me be a part of this !!!!

Pretty much echo the sentiment.

We have a group of guys who used to get together all the time at whatever function and always end up with the conversation - "wouldn't it be great if someday we went in together and claimed a horse... or bought one at auction... a yearling would be awesome, etc...". Always seemed like a daunting task and at a minimum YEARS away.

All of us ended up getting in on SWLY and have had the time of our lives. The Saratoga experience was unforgettable and we are already talking New Orleans and Kentucky.

Tremendous thanks to Steve, Chuck, Cherie and rest of team for making this possible.

Looking forward to great things in the future!

LOL - one of the special highlights was meeting the partners, and making new friends I'd never have met normally. Such a variety of people, ages, backgrounds - I'm glad I got to meet you guys, you're all great people.

This partnership has motivated me to actually go to the track. I had never been to Keeneland, Churchill or Arlington.

I had never given a horse peppermints

Sumwonlovesyou is our first love and I look forward to her return and the next horse the partnership gets.

Thanks to everyone

especially Chuck, Cherie, TC and Steve.

Talking Last weekend at the SPA and Steve's

We will make our last visit this weekend but will miss our visit to see Summy!!!We are so thanfkul t and lucky o be blessed with "true" horsepeople. , thanks to you all for everyhting!!! I rememeer going to the track 15 years ago with Martin and Steve. We always talked about getting a horse and this has become a reality. I know that with this venture and the new ones that we will all have many special moments. We will be in the winners circle one day when it may really mean something and in the "news" Remember all that patience is a virtue and we will continue to have the chance to share new adventures. Have a great fall and look forward to seeing everyone on our next tour. Aurevoir et merci beaucoup

Kelster, Martin & Famille.

Was a pleasure meeting you guys on Ballerina Day. Wish I could head down this weekend , but the wife will have my head, as she will not put up with 3 consecutive week-ends at the SPA. Anyway, maybe hook up with you guys dans La Belle Province !
