Demeritte Adds Glamour to Fasig July
FRIDAY, JULY 5, 2019 DEMERITTE ADDS ANTONACCI GETS A FLYING START WITH PREFERRED EQUINE by Sue Finley GLAMOUR TO FASIG JULY One of the many positives about Godolphin Flying Start--the two-year international Thoroughbred industry training program devised by Sheikh Mohammed--is that it offers a way into the business for talented young people without pre-existing family or industry connections. If, indeed, that is an unstated goal of the project, it showed that it had hit the mark again with the 2019 graduating class with the revelation that Philip Antonacci, an Ivy League graduate with deep roots in the Standardbred--but not Thoroughbred-- industry, had been hired by Dave Reid at Preferred Equine to fill the role of Director of Sales for its Thoroughbred division. That job is a newly created post for Antonacci, who finishes the course this week.
