The newest addition to our stable, Arties Gem was a private purchase from Michigan. She has an unusual resume in that she started racing at 3, sustained an injury at 4 & was bred, had a foal at 5, and
then returned to racing at age 6. Though she doesn't have many starts in her career she has plenty of experience as she raced at 13 different tracks before arriving at our new base of operations at
Saratoga, New York.

Arties Gem presented us with a win by 5 1/4 lengths in her first start for Kennebec Pace Club so we are looking for some good times ahead for this mare.

Arties Gem update: Beginning with the 2008 racing season, Saratoga Raceway changed their minimum claiming price from $4,000 to $5,000. Since Arties Gem can't compete in that higher class we brought
her back to Maine where she will be allowed to race locally. She is 11 years old now and will be closing out her racing career here.
