MAGICAL WINGS WIRES THE FIELD TO BREAK MAIDEN!!

Do you believe in "Magic"...as in Magical Wings?  It has become a phenomenon in the MTG family.  When we correspond about this particular horse, we almost always include the phrase "believe in Magic."  Our "magic" is a big, beautiful chestnut gelding.  He is regally bred and has a delightful personality.   His dam, Cahooters, is also the dam of Buddha, the stallion.  His sire is the Kentucky Derby winner Fusaichi Pegasus.  He was purchased by our friend and horse racing partnership guru Cot Campbell at the Keeneland yearling sale in 2007 for over $200K.  Cot saw that beautiful, majestic, well-bred specimen and had very high hopes for him.  Although it didn't work out quite like he'd hoped due to some injuries early in training, Magical Wings has become a joy to several MTG partners.  We purchased him privately in late summer 2009 and gave him some time off.  He has responded nicely for his new connections.  Magical Wings has raced seven times in his career and has four 3rd place finishes and a WIN!!

Despite the fact that he is not able to compete at the higher levels of the game, he has been a source of joy and fun for partners.   My husband, Gary Roedemeier, introduced him to peppermints.  He will actually put his head on Gary's shoulder and ask politely for more peppermints! 

The beautiful daughter of our McConnell connections - professional singer Sibvon Rose - wrote a song for him.  Can you guess what the title is?  Yep...Believe! 

Carol and Larry Waller were with us when Magical Wings arrived in our stable.  We had a welcoming party at LaCroix.  Spearheaded by our Del Lowell (manager of the farm) the crew had a small party at the barn when our beautiful horse stepped off the van!

John and Diane Chugg have traveled from their home outside Chicago to Kentucky twice to see Magical Wings train or run.  The Chuggs received Magical Wings hats from a dear friend this year as a Christmas gift! 

Matt McCoy was in the winner's circle on December 28th, 2009 when Magical Wings won.  He has been a faithful follower and "believer" since day one.  Matt has enjoyed sharing the "magic" with his co-workers, friends, and family.

Rock on, Magical Wings!  You have a following.  WE BELIEVE IN MAGIC!!!
