Meese Rocks' passing at once embodies the highest of highs and lowest of lows in thoroughbred ownership.However, the support that we have received (mostly from perfect strangers such as yourselves) gives us tremendous strength in an otherwise very difficult time.
Thank you so much for your kind words of support. We cannot adequately express how meaningful it is to us to know that there are others out there (near and far) that were able to appreciate and admire our mare the way that we could. We are going to leave the post up for a few days longer, as there will be a bit more local coverage. Please stay up on our blog to follow our journey as we try to pick up the pieces. Again, from the bottoms of our hearts, thank you sincerely. May our girl rest in peace.

I just wanted to say that I hope someday soon all of you can think of her and smile again.
Maybe years from now you'll be standing in the winner's circle of a BC race and you can silently dedicate your glorious win to her.
I know the holes in your hearts will always remain and for that I'm profoundly sorry.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful girl with us... on the track, in memories, with the eloquent and heartbreaking news.
Some of us consider ourselves to be more cappers than fans and vice versa and so just the fact that the people who are verbal on this thread cross and blur all those sometimes obvious lines around here?
What that really means is that your horse was one of the rare ones that we can agree on.
She defined heart.
Not only is that the supreme complement... it's a reflection on you and how she was handled.
I have no right to speak for all of us here but I think it's probably okay this time.
All of you are in our thoughts and we will never forget Meese Rocks.
