Rosemary

@coloneljen My go to is Reese’s peanut butter cups, hopefully she’s out of the woods soon 🙏

@RHennig00 I ate a bag of M and Ms today so stressed.

Racing Peeps: many thanks for prayers for Steve’s Philly. Here’s her Solomini colt born about 7 weeks ago who is with her at Rood and Riddle. Mare eating tiny portions. Seems much better today. Active in her stall. Still serious but may have turned the corner. Thank you all.

🚨 UNITED PASSENGER CATCHES INSANE NASA ROCKET LAUNCH FROM PLANE WINDOW — FLIGHT ATTENDANT LOSES IT MID-AIR A United flight just turned into a front-row seat to history. A woman captures the exact moment NASA’s Artemis II rocket launches… straight from her window at 30,000 feet. And then you hear the flight attendant: “15 years of flying… I’ve been praying to see something like this.” • Rocket blasting through the clouds • Crew calling it a “once in a lifetime” moment He said he flew to Florida multiple times just to see a launch… Canceled. Every time. And then this happens midair. What are the chances you randomly look out your window… and see history taking off?

@coloneljen Oh no Maggie We will pray for her 🙏🙏🙏

Racing Peeps: my mare Steve’s Philly needs prayers. Had colic surgery that went well but now has post op complications. Love her. Was claimed and got her back. She’s 13 now. At Rood and Riddle getting best care but please. Prayers. Thank you

@TheFigen_ @stacy_nicks 🤣🤣

The differences in personality. 😂😂 Which one are you? Me first!

@DoctorLemma @coloneljen Omg that’s the best thing I read on social media in a long time!

19 years ago, a high school basketball coach put his team manager into a game for the final four minutes. The kid had never played a single minute of competitive basketball in his life. He scored 20 points. Jason McElwain was diagnosed with severe autism at age two. He didn’t speak until he was five. He couldn’t chew solid food until he was six. He wore a nappy for most of his early childhood. As a baby, he was rigid, wouldn’t make eye contact, and hid in corners away from other children. He tried out for his school basketball team every year and got cut every time. Too small. Too slight. Barely 5’6 and about 54 kilograms. But he loved the game so much that his mum called the school and asked if there was any way he could be involved. The coach created a team manager role for him. For three years, McElwain showed up to every practice and every game. He wore a shirt and tie on match days. He ran drills, handed out water, kept stats, and cheered every basket like he’d scored it himself. On 15 February 2006, the last home game of his final school year, the coach let him suit up in a proper jersey and sit on the bench. With four minutes left and a comfortable lead, the coach sent him in. His first shot missed. His second missed. Then something shifted. He hit a three-pointer. Then another. Then another. His teammates stopped shooting entirely and just kept passing him the ball. He hit six three-pointers and a two-pointer. 20 points in four minutes. The highest scorer in the game. When the final buzzer went, the entire crowd rushed the court and lifted him onto their shoulders. His mum tapped the coach on the shoulder, in tears. “This is the nicest gift you could have ever given my son.” McElwain won the ESPY Award for Best Moment in Sports that year, beating out some of the biggest names in professional sport. He’s 36 now. He works at a local supermarket, coaches basketball, has run 17 marathons including five Boston Marathons, and travels the country speaking about never giving up. When asked about that night, his coach still gets emotional. “For him to come in and seize the moment like he did was certainly more than I ever expected. I was an emotional wreck.”

@Doogievet Oh my what a nightmare thank goodness they are both ok

Foal number one of 2026 arrived this morning for my practice. Couldn’t have picked a worse day. Or a worst way to arrive. It was born and then rolled under the fence and wandered off into the woods and was without Mom for about seven hours. Thankfully, mom and baby are fine.

@coloneljen 🙏

@MaryJoTrotter @Hennigracing Thanks Mary Jo

@Hennigracing @RHennig00 So adorable!! Congratulations!

Great day in Saratoga for our granddaughter’s Christening🙏🏻

So adorable 🥹 Punch gently cleans his little plushie, brushing off the dust and fixing its tiny ears. To everyone else it may look like just a toy… but to Punch, it’s his best friend — the one that’s always been there through every adventure, every nap, and every lonely moment. 🧸 He takes care of it the same way it takes care of him.

Backstreets (even $) becomes the 2nd horse to win out of AQU Dec. 27 maiden (race 7) today, taking AQU 2nd as Jose Lezcano sweeps the double, this one for @Hennigracing. Earlier, Making Daisys, 3rd in that 12/27 race, won race 2 at Colonial Downs.

Can’t wait!

@coloneljen Agree!

@RHennig00 Boys are physical. But girls are relentless in mind games. Saw that when I was a class mom. Suburbia is a great place for grown up bullies. I have friends still from HS . college. Work. Avoid the bullies

Racing Peeps: snowed in , looking at old pics. Me. My last day at Greek school. Bullied for a year for being half Greek. Irish and Cuban. Girls wouldn’t let me sit at their table or play but I decided I wasn’t going to let it bother me. My defiant stance . Taught me tolerance .

@coloneljen The book ‘Queen bees and wannabes’ was fantastic. I read it to my daughter. It really Broke it all down with the ring leader and how she controlled the group

@RHennig00 For sure. The mean girl group. Always one girl who is the ring leader. This was last day of school. Boy was I relieved.

@SPNnation74 Wow that’s an amazing story !

Everything happens for a reason. 23 years ago today I was supposed to head to see Great White in Providence. I got a bad head cold & had to back out. A huge fire started & 100 people were lost. 😢 Still creeps me out to this day but thank God someone upstairs was protecting me!🙏

@coloneljen hope you having a great birthday week! You deserve the best ! 💕🩷🎂🎊
