We wanted to take a moment to send out a special thank you in recognition of a very special tribute to Meese Rocks. Barbara Livingston, a legendary and deservedly well-decorated horse racing photographer, has posted a beautiful piece on her blog at DRF.com, complete with pictures that are novel even to us. Her incredible pictures and kind words capture our girl precisely how we remember here – beautiful and regal, with a gritty determination to destroy her competition. In a show of class and a deep understanding for our industry, she also highlights the unique bond that jockey Jorge Chavez had with Meese Rocks. “George-y” was with us from the beginning and has been along for some of our greatest moments as a stable. He loved our mare just as we did and it’s touching to see that Barbara has captured this connection in such great detail.
Amazingly, her blog post went out completely unsolicited! You could imagine how surprised we were to see our girl’s name right up there on the front page of DRF.com. It continues to astound us that so many people have come out in recognition and support of both Meese Rocks and our little family stable. And though the pain of her loss is still fresh in our hearts and minds, such acts of kindness help us begin the process of moving forward. Once again, Barbara, thank you. To see the blog post in full, please visit the site below. It is truly unbelievable:
As a final note, we will be heading to the barn tomorrow to check out a few of our young guns, including a promising 2 year old colt that is just getting into a more intense training regimen. Please stay tuned – we will be taking picture of the newbies and properly introducing them to all of our followers within the next few weeks.
