Special Dreams was bred and originally owned by Robert Camac, who was the breeder of Smarty Jones, the 2004 Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner. After Camac's untimely death in December of 2001, he was purchased by our neighbor who breeds and races several horses. We had the pleasure of meeting Special Dreams in early 2002 when he was temporarily residing in the paddock next door to our property. Quite a few horses had visited this paddock, and Special Dreams was by far the best tempered thoroughbred we had ever met. He left by summer of 2002 to start his racing career and ran at Philadelphia Park and Monmouth Park. In late January of 2003, he reappeared at the paddock next door, which is when we found out that he was hurt and he was done racing. During the severe snow we had that winter, his owner couldn't make it out to feed him and we took over feeding duties, trudging through the almost waist deep snow to take out feed, hay and water. The next month his owner made us the offer of taking him, and the rest is history! Our boy was born in January of 2000, his mother is Steve's Dream Girl and his father is Stormy Atlantic. We're currently trying to locate information on his siblings and mother, so please email us if you know of the whereabouts or any information regarding the following horses: Steve's Dream Girl - his mom, who we believe is at Foxwatcher Farm in Newtown Square, PA. Real Dream Girl (by Two Davids) - all we know is that she raced at Philadelphia Park in May/June of 2000 and Delaware Park in July of 2000.
