qualifying for the finals but qualified 2nd fastest for the Juvenile.

owned by Jill Giles and ridden by Jaime Leos, also ran a nice race in a time of

A New Year

We hope you all had a fantastic holiday season and wish you all a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year. We also wanted to say THANK YOU for your business, support and friendships. We wouldn't be where we are without you.

A new year allows for a fresh start and new beginnings. New beginnings meaning new owners. This year we have had the opportunity to take on several new owners and we continue to have the support from our owners that have been with us, some for several years. With the 2012 racing season upon us, we hope the new year brings great success to each and everyone of you.

2011 was a great and busy year for us, but like all of us, there is always room for improvement somewhere. My New Year's resolution is to be better on top of this blog. I know that so many of you like checking it regularly and are interested in what is going on at W/G Racing Stables and with your horses. So I will strive to be better at updatng it. For those of you new to us, we regularly put videos of works and gates on this blog, especially during the breaking season. We find that our owners appreciate this, especially since they can't always be there and love to see how their horses improve from the first day they arrive at Frontera to when they are ready for their first race.

So please check back regularly for new videos, updates and news. We love feedback, so please let us know how you like our blog and where we can improve it. And again, thank you for your continued business.

~Cindy~
