Looking for rider Biltmore 99" 50mile
Wendy Mickels rahes@alltel.net
I am looking for the contact information on a rider who won the
best condition award at Biltmore in 99 for the 50 mile. I and a
Friends were co-sponsors of the memorial trophy for Best Condition there in honor of her husband, and my horse Rahesi who won B.C. for inaugural ride in 1994. We thought we had started a revolving trophy that would come back to the ride each year, but were informed last week that this was not the case. We were trying to make arrangements at the time to do the presentation
when we found out. I would like this riders' input as the presenter also told me this was his impression. There is no penalty here just a need for some understanding. The physical structure of the trophy was to be able to put each rider- year
after years' name on it on a brass plate, they return it the next year and pick up the plaque and it goes to the next winner. This is not that complicated and was designed to be quite an honor.
The rider who won was named Mike Bostic on Blue Moon Rising. I can be reached at rahesi@alltel.net Wendy or Annette. We would greatly appreciate any help in this matter as the race is around the corner for 2000. Behind all this is a great story. Mike Mcnamara and I did our first race together in 1992 and we both did Biltmore together1994. He was my greatest cheerleader and Rahesi's' biggest fan. One of our greatest moments was when both of us finished top 10 in the Biltmore 50 me on my 2nd 50 mile ride and him on a new horse he adored. Mike hadn’t even planned to ride 50 except the 25 was closed and so he thought he would just start it finishing top 10 was an incredible moment. We lost Mike to cancer in May of 1998. His Funeral was on Biltmore race day. I lost Rahesi to Strange Colic in Jan of 1999 while I was 8 months pregnant. I had a new baby and couldn't attend the ride and Annette was too upset still to go either so others spoke for us. I hope some one out there after reading this might put Mike Bostic in touch with us. Thanks in advance, Wendy
