Whether it is before the sun rises standing at the training track or watching intently from the owner’s box on race-day afternoon, Andrew and Jean Vecchiarelli’s thoughts will invariably lead them to a place beyond the finish line.

For 25 years, under the banner of Rainbow Stables, the Vecchiarellis have owned dozens of Thoroughbreds – stakes winners, allowance-level types, and blue-collar claimers.

Open-length win, top-three showing or off-the-board result – every horse is treated like a beloved family member.
