Coconut Martini After Pictures

Picture of Kate and "Tini" before AC4H

Coconut Martini left Monday May 4th to go to her new home in Vermont with Karen B.   Ironically Karen’s daughter, Kate exercised  horses for Paranack Stables in 2004  and  had exercised and cared for  Coconut Martini while  helping her  to rehabilitate  after a broken pelvis by doing ring work with the horse  at Saratoga.. Kate, who now lives in Greenwich, NY had lost track of Teeny ( Coconut Martini ) until someone alerted her to the story in the NY Post.  Today Kate traveled  to her mom’s home to revisit  Teeny .”She  still has a great attitude and she doesn’t seem to be damaged mentally by what she has been through,” Kate stated after having visited with Teeny and her mom this afternoon..  “It’s hard to believe, after all that she has been through, how nice she still is.”  From race horse to starving kill pen horse and now to a quiet life of being pampered and spoiled, Coconut Martini, aka Teeny, has found her new home.

 (3/3) Coconut Martini crushes maiden field

Paraneck Stable's homebred, COCONUT MARTINI, making her third career start, overwhelmed a field of 9-state-bred three year-old fillies today at Aqueduct Racetrack. Trainer Jennifer Pedersen and jockey Richard Migliore teamed up again to win their second race of the Wednesday race card, having won the opener in almost identical fashion. The three year-old filly went to the post as the 4-5 betting favorite. Jennifer Pedersen, who's having a terrific winter meet has now saddled 15-winners and her only client, Paraneck Stable, is the leading owner with earnings of over $782,000.

Breaking from the outside post-position in the six-furlong race, Coconut Martini blasted out of the gate to take command leading by two lengths in the run down the backstretch. Emma M. and Tiamo Mia chased in second and third, respectively to the half-mile pole reached in 47.2, however it was evident it was a mismatch as Migliore hand rode the gray filly through the stretch, opening up a huge lead which she increased to 11-3/4-lengths crossing the wire. Schematic Design, making her debut finished second and Tiamo Mia held on for third. Final time was 1:13 flat.
