Re-posted from the Alex Brown Forum:
I just got an emergency message – a trainer from Mountaineer just received some very devastating personal news that he must deal with. In the meantime, he has a mare who just ran last at Thistledown and she is not going to be allowed back at the track because she is considered “non-competitive.” Her barn name is “Dreamer” because she looks like the mare from the movie. She is sound and calm enough that the trainer led his granddaughter on this mare’s back around the barn.
The trainer is under threat of fines if he brings this horse back to the track and is already dealing with a stressful personal situation. Because of the unique situation, we can’t post the actual name of the horse since we don’t want to get the trainer in trouble.
We are having trouble finding a private buyer, so we may need to step in. The Fans of Barbaro have already pledged $240, and we will need an additional $300 in order to make sure we can pay for her, transport and board for at least a month.
Will Exceller Fund members pledge an additional $300 to save this mare? If so, PLEASE e-mail me at mail@excellerfund.org - Thank you!!!
