<\/picture><\/a>What one piece of advice would you give to a new player?<\/strong><\/p>\nI’d advise new players to go slow and learn the game as best you can, be patient and above all have fun. Play to win but have fun doing it.<\/p>\n
What does 9\/11 mean to you?<\/strong><\/p>\nAt the time of 9\/11 I was out of the hospital for about 5 weeks recovering at home from a massive infection (I was told to get my affairs in order by an infectious disease specialist) because of a perforated colon. My youngest son was three months, my oldest four years. My poor wife worked all day then came home to take care of me and the kids. I was already in a very bad place when the first plane hit. I became very withdrawn, filled with rage. A news junkie. Each time I closed my eyes I saw people jumping from the towers. All those police and fireman that died so bravely. All those funerals, people with photos of loved ones lost, roaming the streets. As I write this my eyes are tearing and I need a dewars. The love of my wife and kids brought me back from the brink. I’m a changed man in a changed world. My eyes are now wide open.<\/p>\n
If your sponsorship of the race causes people to pause and remember that day, what thought would you hope they might take away with them?<\/strong><\/p>\nMostly the sponsorship is to honor the memories of the victims but also to remember how we as Americans came together black, asian, white, latino all of us. It was impressive to say the least.<\/p>\n
Do you plan to enter the race yourself?<\/strong><\/p>\nI might enter but if I do I will ask HRP to exclude me from the prize money.<\/p>\n
Do you have any ambitions still left to fulfil at HRP?<\/strong><\/p>\nWhat ambitions are left at HRP?\u00a0\u00a0 All of ’em! I’d like to be able to say one day that I bred a horse that won the Derby and Breeders’ Cup Classic.<\/p>\n
