Marissa Parenti and Trader, August 2008
    It’s our pleasure to recognize Suffolk Downs Trainer, Lorita Lindemann for her role in helping to retire our stallion Watchtower.
    Lorita coordinated every detail of the process at Suffolk Downs; ensuring the necessary contracts were ready, preparing Watchtower for shipping and seeing to it that he was safely loaded to travel.
      For many years, Lorita has devoted herself to arranging retirement for Thoroughbred horses at Suffolk Downs.
Before leaving for Fulton, Future’s Trader was affectionately called “Freddie” at the Retirement Center. William Woods already has two Freddies, however, so he’s now known simply and dearly as Trader. Trader left New Hampshire in good company; traveling with our own Judgemeister, who is being leased by our Assistant Executive Director and William Woods student, Marissa Parenti. Trader will be ridden by Marissa in her classes with Hunter/Jumper Program Director Dr. Linda McClaren. Marissa arranged for Trader’s transportation to be donated by HPW Trucking. Many thanks to the following folks for your recent contributions: HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Dan Pride, Darley at Jonabell Farm Darley Stud Management, LLC Dr. Linda McClaren William Woods University Todd Therien Welding Service HPW Trucking
Watchtower is one of only fifty-six foals sired by Sheikh Mohammed’s favourite stallion Dubai Millennium. He is Dubai Millennium’s top earner in 2008 and fourth-highest earner overall. After learning that Watchtower was recently being run in the low-level claiming races at Suffolk Downs, Sheikh Mohammed repurchased Watchtower and within seventy-two hours the chestnut stallion was delivered to the Retirement Center along with a generous pension. It’s a privilege for us to participate in the retirement and care of such a magnificent horse. Already, he’s settled-in beautifully and keeps good company with his stable-mate and turnout companion: a retired show jumper that formerly competed with the Canadian Olympic Team. In fact, we’re so honoured to have Watchtower, that we’ve renamed the farm after him; Watchtower Farm. To read more about Watchtower, visit his page on our website.
