Swing's Lew (Click here for Past Performances)
Swing's Lew is an 18 year old off track Thoroughbred,(Sire Swing Til Dawn, Dam a Seattle Slew daughter),
who in his racing career earned $99,000 for his owners. When a suspensory injury made him unable to race, he was given to
a hunter/jumper barn where he earned his keep. When this activity reinjured his suspensory the barn rewarded him
by sending him to auction where a local thoroughbred rescue saved him by paying $210 bidding against the killbuyer.
Lew came to The Golden Carrot's quarantine area and by the time his quarantine was up, he'd stolen the heart of Casey.
Neigh Savers is helping out with Lew, Rocky and Inch at the Golden Carrot as these oldsters have very few options to live
out their remaining years.
Lew is now happily canoodling in his paddock with no less than three mares in his harem! Not bad for an old geezer!!!!
Update - June 2010
Unfortunately, Swing's Lew passed away late June 2010. Please read Casey's touching tribute to her special boy. We at Neigh Savers offer our deep
condolences on the passing of Lew. May he forever stand in the Winner's Circle.
