Friends and family,


As you have heard, our colleague and friend Sam McKee has suffered a major stroke. There will be a challenging road ahead for his emotional and physical recovery. Sam will most likely require months of physical rehabilitation. In addition, there will certainly be the financial strain that will accompany this journey. On behalf of Sam’s family, I kindly ask you to consider donating anything that will help Sam and his family in this difficult time.

Many of us have had the privilege to work with Sam over the years. His knowledge, devotion and love for the sport of horseracing is simply unmatched. Anytime he walks into a room, his energy and excitement is infectious. If we all had HALF the enthusiasm Sam has in our own respective jobs, we’d all be so lucky. Sam is a tireless worker and he gives all of himself to promote his beloved sport.

While Sam’s work credentials are impressive, they still pale in comparison to the man he is. Sam is kind, thoughtful and a lot of fun. He is also incredibly generous. Let us take this opportunity to give back to him!

Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.
