What a shame. Looking forward to her foals.

"Winter Memories represents five generations of Darby Dan horses," noted Phillips, "and we cannot and will not risk her safety."

Well damn, but glad they caught it early. Agreed, will look forward to her foals as I have her dam's.

Darn darn darn! I really liked her! Hate to see her retire, but I'm glad they're looking out for her best interests.

Winter Memories will be missed...but there's always another to look forward to. Jimmy Toner and the Phillip's have a decent up and coming 3YO filly who will try to temper the blow of Winter Memorie's unexpected retirement. Her name is Moment In Dixie and she will be asked to run 1 1/8th miles for the first time this Friday in a non graded Sweepstakes in the 2nd at Saratoga. TJ

Hi Sylvie,
That would be Jim Ryan who trained both steeplechase and flat runners. He trained years ago for owner's such as Paul Mellon and James Cox Brady to name a couple. TJ
