Root, Jr., D.V.M. & Margaret A. Root 18715 NE Hwy 240 ~ Newberg, OR 97132 503-554-0227 OAKHURST THOROUGHBREDS Jack and Cookie Root ~ 18715 NE Hwy 240 ~ Newberg, Oregon 97132 Dear Friends and Horse-people, It is with both great pride and sadness that we invite you to a dispersal sale for the majority of our beloved thoroughbred horses. This sale has become necessary for us, with or without the pending sale of Oakhurst. Our focus has primarily been breeding to race. Thus we have placed great empha- sis upon racing ability, conformation, and soundness in the development of our suc- cessful program. We have been rewarded with over 20 stakes-winners and it has been especially pleasing to watch our horses have long racing careers. We are proud that when done racing, the vast majority of our horses have found happy second careers as sports or pleasure horses, and with a select few going into our broodmare band. As many of you have heard, we currently have a sale pending on our farm and home. This has brought forth quite a range of emotions. We have put our entire hearts and souls (along with all our money and then some) into building our wonder- ful home and equine facility. Giving it up and leaving will be quite difficult but will provide us with some exciting new opportunities. It will likely be several weeks — or more — before our sale is finalized and our buyer has encouraged us to stay as long as needed in order to make a smooth transition. As in all real estate transactions, there are uncertainties and potential problems, and the possibility still exists that this sale may not occur at all. Thus, for now it is business as usual! I will continue my veterinary practice and we are eagerly looking forward to the upcoming season at Portland Meadows. We are also keeping our top stallions as we may be here for the 2009 breeding season, even with the sale of Oakhurst remaining on track. As usual, we expect that Cookie will be certain that our dispersal sale is also a great and fun event! Check our website for our plans and special events as they are finalized. We truly look forward to seeing you on the 4th! Sincerely, JACK We have worked hard and invested heavily in building our successful breeding program by emphasizing racing ability, conformation, soundness, and world-class pedigrees! This is your opportunity to share in the fruits of our labors at only a fraction of our costs! t All horses are available for immediate sale at the prices listed on-line through Saturday, September 20th. t Horses not sold by September 20th will then be offered FOR SALE at our Live Thoroughbred Auction Sale at Oakhurst on Saturday, October 4th! t Please continue to check our website for up-to-date horse sales and availability status!
