“NEW OWNERS LUNCHEON” SCHEDULED FOR AUGUST 29 AT SARATOGA RACE COURSE
SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. – Trainers Chad Brown and Dominic Galluscio will be among the experts on hand at Saratoga Race Course for The New York Racing Association, Inc.’s (NYRA) seventh “New Owners Luncheon” on Wednesday, August 29. Initiated last spring, the program provides a comprehensive introduction and overview of thoroughbred ownership in an effort to bring new owners to the sport of horse racing.
Hosted by former champion jockey Richard Migliore and co-hosted by NYRA Raceday personality Ernie Munick, the event will begin at 7:30 a.m. with breakfast in the Saratoga luxury suites, followed by presentations and Q&A sessions with Brown and Galluscio, as well as Michael Dubb, NYRA’s leading owner in 2010; Jack Wolf and Donald Lucarelli, managing partners of Starlight Racing; Tom Gallo, managing partner of Parting Glass Stable; New York State Steward Stephen Lewandowski; equine accountant Andre Moglia, and Jeffrey Cannizzo, executive director of the New York Thoroughbred Breeders, Inc.
Throughout the day, guests also will have the opportunity to meet many of NYRA’s leading jockeys, trainers and owners, visit the paddock and participate in a winner’s circle trophy presentation.
The registration fee is $100, which includes breakfast and lunch in the luxury suites, the above activities along with a backstretch tour, an official racing program and a giveaway bag.
Migliore, who began riding in 1980 and a year later won the Eclipse Award as the nation’s top apprentice, retired in 2010 after winning 4,450 races, including 362 stakes. Twice the leading rider in New York, “The Mig” currently serves as a NYRA racing office associate in addition to his role as a broadcast analyst.
