June
6, 2004: Press Release.
On
Saturday, June 26 at 10 am, Our
Mims, 1977 Three-Year-Old Filly
Champion, will be remembered with
a memorial dedication at Calumet
Farm's Equine
cemetery.
Our
Mims (Herbergar out of Sweet
Tooth) was foaled at Calumet on
March 8, 1974 and earned Calumet
Farm their first Eclipse award
after her stunning 3 year old
season. Our Mims won the Oaklawn
Fantasy Stakes, the Coaching Club
American Oaks, Alabama Stakes,
and the Delaware Handicap. Our
Mims finished second in the 1977
Kentucky Oaks.
Our
Mims produced several foals for
Calumet, including Mimbet and
Slewvescent, before being sold in
Calumet's dispersal sale in
1991.
During
the fall of 1999, this great mare
made her way to the ReRun
program, a Kentucky-based
Thoroughbred adoption group. Our
Mims was adopted by Jeanne
Mirabito of Paris, Kentucky, in
February of 2000. "Never was a
horse more loved than Our Mims.
She stole my heart," said
Mirabito. "Our Mims was QUEEN
here. She knew it and as long as
the rest of us didn't forget who
was in charge, all was well."
