Our Mims was the 1977 Eclipse Champion 3-Year-Old Filly. Running in the Calumet colors of devil's red and blue, the daughter of Sweet Tooth won 5 of 18 races, including the G1 Coaching Club American Oaks, the Alabama, and the Delaware Handicap.
In 1990, Our Mims was sold as part of Calumet's dispersal sale. In 1999, Jeanne Mirabito found a pensioned Our Mims while working on a local farm. With the help of the Thoroughbred retirement group ReRun, Mims came to live with Jeanne... and a lifelong friendship developed.
Our Mims died from colic complications at the age of 29 in December of 2003 and was buried in Calumet's equine cemetery. Her marker stands as a tribute to the fans who would not let her be forgotten.
In memory of the great mare and her dear friend, Jeanne Mirabito created the Our Mims Retirement Haven so other mares will be cared for once their broodmare careers are over.
