Thanks so much for a marvelous piece. I'm having difficulty finding words but there are great horsemen at FL and good horses can come from anywhere .

And Lisa fired a bullet today at Spa ! Targetting Loudonville S. 8/6

Wow ! What a classy race she showed . This is a story so many can actually feel and relate to on an emotional level .
And there's a sweet replay on ttimes. Cool how it ends .

Made the FRONT PAGE of the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle today. Never thought I'd see racing on the front page of a paper outside of Ky.

From DRF.com: "Snyder named the filly after his wife, Lisa, who in 2003 died of ovarian cancer, as well as a gentlemen’s club that he frequented in Florida."

this story would probably do more for most fans than seeing a rich guy win with a blueblood. most of us can relate more to this guy and his $4500 purchase than to the rich guys who swoop in and buy a horse that is a proven runner, or put out millions at yearling and two year old auctions. hell of a story. i don't quite get the part about his wife's spirit being in the horse....but nobody's perfect!
it's what many wish for, but few get. a good horse that pays their way.
