It all started in may of 06′. My mare Miss Mahogany aka Maggie had foaled at 11pm that night. When I was helping maggie get the foal out I was a bit in shock to see Remie’s color. One leg had allot of white the second leg did too. Then i saw her face. Holly white i said;) Then I was like OMG it’s a chestnut. Now Maggie has had one other foal for me that is a full brother to Remie his name is Max. When Max was born he looked just like maggie bay with a star. So if you could see my face when Remie came out it was priceless.

 I knew I was going to raise her and race her myself. She was special. She looked nothing like what I thought was going to get. She was very smart and trusting as a foal but she would kick your ass if she thought you did not know what you were doing.;) She moved with such power yet with grace. She was independent and strong willed but would give you her whole heart if she trusted you. Thank God she trusted me.

People would come out to see her. Friends, pinhookers, trainers ect.. They loved her. All would say you might have something special there. I would say I know I do. So the journey of the 2 of us started. Since I had only one foal that year she would depend on me to play with her. I would go out to the pasture at dusk and say to her. Ok Remie ready to go to the derby… Ready set Go!!! She would take off as fast as she could do a lap and stand there like is that all you got. Watch I can go again. It was the best stuff ever watching her do that. It would take all my stress away and I could sit there and dream. What is also special about Remie is she is old school bred. Most people in my bizs would look at her and say holly cow nice filly but then look at her pedigree and say where is all the black type? Now do not get me wrong she has some BT in her pedigree but it’s far back in there mind. What she dose have is SOUND hard knocking runners that made allot of money. Most of her pedigree would run till they were 6 or 7. In todays world of Tb’s that is unheard of.  

She always takes everything is stride. I was very careful of who I would train her. She is the type of filly that if she was to get in the wrong hands they would either break her down or she would get so mad she would give up. So I choose to stick her with the trainers that have her full brother. They are taking it slow with that colt and that is what I wanted to do with her. Do not push her so young that she breaks down. I would have to go for blood if that happends. Remie is 2 in May and she is doing great. She is built like a tank. She loves my trainers and they love her. It’s a win win game here.
