Cookie finished 7th today. The field was quite tough, he wasn't really a threat. :cry:

hi guys,

as some of you probably know, stelladaniella has a heart condition. she underwent a transplant a while ago and was mostly doing fine, but she sadly fell into a coma a few days ago. she's being kept alive by machines now but there's some hope she'll wake up and breathe on her own again. her mom gave me the ok to post about it on the forum and i chose this topic as it's the one she's most active in. we have a friend over where she lives and she'll keep me updated and i'll bring information when i can.

9/10/22 4F on the Dirt in 49.80 25/50
9/24/22 4F on the Dirt in 51.20 14/22
10/1/22 5F on the Dirt in 1.00.80 4/17
10/8/22 4F on the Dirt in 48.40 1/19
10/14/22 4F on the Dirt in 51.40 15/22

His 2nd start was a MSW on 10/19/22 at Horseshoe Indianapolis going one mile on the dirt. He had Marcelino Pedroza Jr. up and finished 5th, had no late bid.
I still have so much hope for this guy!!

Wow. Welcome back!
I hadn't read this thread before, so I missed the Aug. 30 post about your illness. :o
I don't know if you can apply good wishes retroactively, but if you could, I'd like to give you a whole bunch. And a Happy Halloween. <3
Enjoy tonight's Melbourne Cup (even with the rain), and the upcoming Breeders' Cup. It's a good time to be a racing fan. 8-)

Thank you both, you are lovely <3 I suffer with heart problems at a young age and the journey is anything but easy and full of surprises. I'm glad Nana could deliver news through my mother!! Horse racing as a hobby and interest makes it a bit less sucky though, and people like these on the forum <3

And he WON!!! :D He broke from post 10 and stayed at the back of the pack, and started picking them off on the faraaway turn! the last turn he just took off!! I'm so immensely proud of this little guy, his ears pinned in the last strides just says everything!
Race replay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xreb83R ... urfwayPark
He's 10 and you can recognise him with the Godolphin blinkers!
I'm sorry for my excitement but he's just so so so special to me!!!!!!!
