Dear Friends:

This spring brings a welcome reminder that the life-giving Passion and the Death of the Lord brings forth His glorious Resurrection. On this Easter, more than any in recent memory, the rays of Jesus’ resurrection refreshes our hearts and minds with new hope.

Let us join in rejoicing in the Lord’s love for us. May our voices rise up in songs of praise and thanksgiving as we reunite with family and friends to celebrate Easter. Breathe in the sweet fragrance of Hope as God reveals Himself not only to the disciples of old, but to us as well.

Help me everyday to spread the message of Love by our deeds of kindness and works of justice in our beautiful horse racing industry.

May the Lord bless each of you and your families with good health, happiness, and joy.

Have a Blessed Easter!

Peace and gratitude,


Chaplain Humberto Chavez
