Aloha!

Hi everybody! New here, but not to racing.
I’ve been a long time racing fan, and know a thing or two, but being young means there’s always something new to learn!

Looking forward to “mingling” with you all, and getting to learn the game!

-Brooke [Foxwood Racing Stables]

Great! I wish you luck and hope you have a great time here! :slight_smile:

Welcome! Always nice to see new people join the game. :slight_smile:

[i](And I hope you don’t think I’m stalking you or anything, but I checked out your IP because you’re in MD, too, and you theoretically live about 10min away from me down 270. Yay, Maryland…the…something…state. :wink:)

Edited to Add: Just looked it up, and we’re the “Old Line State” and the “Free State”. And the state drink is milk…what the hell? Sure, it does a body good, but can’t we have a cooler drink than that? :roll: :wink:[/i]

10 minutes away? That’s so awesome! Such a small world, huh?

Milk? Heh, go figure. Of course Maryland is going to be extra lame and pick milk. :lol:

Hi,

I’m from the “Dairy State” so MD is makeing WI money then. :smiley: I’ve only just joined a little while ago but I hope you like it here as much as I do.

And a decidedly Confederate state song…

Maryland, My Maryland

by James Ryder Randall

I

The Despot’s heel is on they shore, Maryland!

His torch is at thy temple door, Maryland!

Avenge the patriotic gore

That flecked the streets of Baltimore

And be the battle queen of yore, Maryland! My Maryland!

II

Hark to an exiled son’s appeal, Maryland!

My mother State! To thee I kneel, Maryland!

For life and death, for woe and weal,

Thy peerless chivalry reveal,

And grid they beauteous limbs with steel,

Maryland! My Maryland!

III

Thou wilt not cower in the dust, Maryland!

Thy beaming sword shall never rust, Maryland!

Remember Carroll’s sacred trust,

Remember Howard’s warlike thrust-

And all they slumbers with the just, Maryland! My Maryland!

IV

Come! ''tis the red dawn of the day, Maryland!

Come with thy panoplied array, Maryland!

With Ringgold’s spirit for the fray,

With Watson’s blood at Monterey

With fearless Lowe and dashing May, Maryland! My Maryland!

V

Come! For thy shield is bright and strong, Maryland!

Come! For thy dalliance does thee wrong, Maryland!

Come to thine own heroic throng, Stalking with Liberty along,

And chaunt thy dauntless slogan song, Maryland! My Maryland!

VI

Dear Mother! Burst the tyrant’s chain, Maryland!

Virginia should not call in vain, Maryland!

She meets her sisters on the plain -

“Sic semper!” 'tis the proud refrain

That baffles minions back again, Maryland! My Maryland!

VII

I see the blush upon my cheek, Maryland!

For thou wast ever bravely meek, Maryland!

But lo! there surges forth a shriek

From hill to hill, from creek to, creek

Potomac calls to Chesapeake, Maryland! My Maryland!

VIII

Thou wilt not yield the vandal toll, Maryland!

Thou wilt not crook to his control, Maryland!

Better the fire upon thee roll,

Better the blade, the shot, the bowl,

Than crucifixion of the soul, Maryland! My Maryland!

IX

I hear the distant thunder-hum, Maryland!

The Old Line’s bugle, fife, and drum, Maryland!

She is not dead, nor deaf, nor dumb -Huzza!

She spurns the Northern scum!

She breathes! She burns! She’ll come! She’ll come!

Maryland! My Maryland

Hey Everyone!
I am new to the game but have been with racehorses since I was little! Hopefully i get my stable set up soon!

Break Away Farm… isn’t that the stable that Nicole exercise rides for? Do you two know each other? That’s a freaky coincidence that you’d pick the same name…
