Gorgeous 2006 Thoroughbred “Royal Vindication” was adopted December 2010 by Carissa Gilman.

Vinny had a total of 13 starts at the upper level tracks with his last race on 9/25/10. He was retired shortly thereafter and was donated to New Vocations. As soon as he was available for adoption, he was immediately adopted by Carissa. She reports that Vinny is thriving and has grown up a lot in the last year and she absolutely loves him. He is a peppermint fiend and will come running whenever peppermints are nearby.

We look forward to hearing how Vinny will continue to progress as they work toward, undoubtedly, a successful future in the Hunter ring. Congratulations Vinny and Carissa!
