Owners . A: “I would tell them to strongly consider sending that mare to New York. The opportunities there to produce a quality foal are tremendous. The financial incentives are tremendous in terms of the breeder awards that are available there, and if you’re breeding to race the opportunities on the race track are unparalleled throughout any of the states that we do business in.” — President & CEO of Fasig-Tipton Boyd Browning For more information visit our website or call 518.388.0174 SKIP DICKSTEIN PHOTO © PRESIDENT & CO-PUBLISHER Barry Weisbord @barryweisbord [email protected] SR.
