10TH RACE: Pulaski County, a horse housed by
Last Mango Stables, and
owned by a number of New Orleans Saints' personnel and players, will
make its debut tonight at the Fairgrounds in New Orleans in the 10th
race.
PC, as the horse is more affectionately
known, is co-owned by several people, including Sean Payton, Saints
quarterback Drew Brees and Mr.
Margaritaville Jimmy Buffett.
Trained by Tom Amoss and ridden by
Eddie Martin, Pulaski County is projected at 6-to-1 odds. PC will race
against 11 other maidens in the six-furlong race.
"I always go for the nine
horse," Brees said. "It was something that was dreamed up in the
offseason and was interesting. Now that it's football season, my focus
is completely on football. I just read e-mail occassionally and I've
seen pictures. I haven't had time to go down to the stables."
Update: The results
of the race - Jimmy's horse SHOWED!!! (3rd) behind Sagaponack (1st) and
Proper Paul (2nd).
