I just sent you something back. I am going up to Saratoga in a few weeks when the Giants open camp in Albany. We have friends at a radio station called WFAN that do their show up there one day and we do some golfing. One of the guys who does the show owns quite a few horses.

I've spoken to Francesca. he used to get his DRF up here at the same newstand as I did and we were both very often waiting at the door at 5 minutes to 7 for the place to open up. I know he loves the game and is here a lot during the meet. You oughta see the house here that his buddy parcells built. Holy **** is it nice. I like listening to him and Russo, great stuff.

I know Chris (he started in Jacksonville) and his family really well and Mike is nice enough to show us around, although he can be a little arrogant. He introduced us to Shug McGaughy (although I don't think he has any of Francessa's horses) and he knows Nick through George Steinbrenner. I have met George's son and daughter but never him. Parcells and Belichik are both big horse guys, but I can't say I ever met them.

Default Hoist - Horses

Hoist:

Care to share some of the horses that your wife owns or has owned in the past with Zito.... Any promising 2YOs that she currently owns...

Just a little curious...

I'd like to watch em breeze up here. I'm sure if they are two year olds that they are about 3/4's of a mile from my doorstep. Oklahoma is the place for two year olds. That great deep track keeps em sound and gets em fit amd muscled.

She owned them as yearlings but I will get you the names. I will have her send you private messages because the people in this business are sort of private because loose lips can sink ships. She likes to talk horses though and if Oracle knows Nicks brother I am sure she will check out Oracle with them and maybe do some business.

I don't like to get involved with Nick's business. Hes a friend, and the last time I sent him an owner it lead to some hard feelings between us when they split up.

If shes talking to Tommy about horses, she better LOVE horses, Tommy will talk horses with anyone until he is blue in the face. I love the guy.
