Hazelmoor Beach is a 7 year old, chestnut mare who is coming to us soon by way of Beyond the Wire in Maryland. She is a very well bred girl being by Imagining and out of a Not For Love mare. She was also born on Valentine's Day. How about that?

Hazel is retiring after 33 races. She injured her foot this summer (by putting it through a wall) and by all accounts it's healing very well so far. With the amount of time it takes to regrow hoof, her connections have decided to go ahead and let her retire rather than keeping her to go back to racing.

From the photos we've seen, we expect she'll need another couple months or so to continue growing out her hoof wall, but we have no reason to expect any limitations on this girl once it heals fully. We will of course post more once she's here and our vet gets a chance to see her.

Stay tuned!
