The Pillar Stable LLC began in June of 2000.  Thirteen members pooled their money for a total of $15,000, to buy a racehorse.  Lil' Sidney was The Pillar's first claim for $10,000.

Sidney ran his first race for Pillar at Laurel and he came home a winner!!!

The highlight of Pillar's racing career came when we claimed Islander Blues for $14,500 at Laurel in October of 2000.  IB looked to be a hard knocking 5 yo mare and she had her N1X condition intact.  We ran IB in the N1X in Maryland a total of 7 times in the next few months and she kept running 2nd and 3rd while rolling up a nice bankroll with each ITM finish. 

Soon after the claim, one member of the stable noticed IB was a NYbred.  Realizing that the winter meet at Aqueduct doesn't always draw the best NYbred-restricted competition, we decided to ship IB to Aqueduct to take a shot at the NYR N1X and the purse of $43,000.  IB dusted the field on April 12, 2001 to win by an easy 4 lengths - payday!!!!

The Pillar Stable was profitable the first 3 years of operation.  Many of the members of the stable wanted to take profits out of the stable instead of reinvesting those monies into another horse or two.  Eventually, we claimed Queen Twining and she drained the stable's remaining cash reserves.  The Pillar Stable LLC dissolved in April of 2004.
