0

America’s Best Racing (ABR), a multimedia fan development and awareness-building platform of The Jockey Club, today released a new feature video, “ABR Wired: A Storybook Ending for Always Dreaming.”

What is it like being part of the ownership group of the favorite for the Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands? Even better, what is it like to win the run for the roses, America’s most celebrated horse race? Follow along with America’s Best Racing for a compelling behind-the-scenes look as Terry Finley, a minority owner of Always Dreaming and the president and CEO of West Point Thoroughbreds, experiences a scintillating 2017 Kentucky Derby at historic Churchill Downs.

WATCH “ABR Wired: A Storybook Ending for Always Dreaming”: https://www.americasbestracing.net/videos/2017-abr-wired-storybook-ending-always-dreaming

The owners of Always Dreaming are MeB Racing Stables, Brooklyn Boyz Stables, Teresa Viola Racing Stables, St. Elias Stable, Siena Farm and West Point Thoroughbreds. MeB Stables and Brooklyn Boyz Stable are the racing names for MaryEllen and Anthony Bonomo, respectively, of New York. St. Elias Stable and Teresa Viola Racing Stables are the racing operations of Vincent Viola and his wife, Teresa. Vincent, also a Brooklyn, N.Y., native, is the owner of the National Hockey League’s Florida Panthers. Anthony R. Manganaro, Nacho Patino and David Pope founded Siena Farm on 225 acres in Paris, Ky., and West Point Thoroughbreds is the racing partnership founded by West Point Academy graduate Terry Finley. West Point finished second in the 2014 Kentucky Derby with Commanding Curve.

Finley, a former Army captain and airborne ranger, presides over West Point Thoroughbreds Inc., a horse racing partnership management company he founded in 1991. West Point Thoroughbreds currently manages equine portfolios for over 500 partners and a stable of over 70 horses. Their horses have earned over $40 million in purses and won over 700 races. They have campaigned nine Grade 1 winners and their partners have 41 graded stakes wins over the years.

Making cameo appearances in this original ABR Wired feature are celebrity chef and Thoroughbred owner, Bobby Flay, along with Finley’s wife, Debbie, and son, Ryan.
