Damico, who heads The Posse Racing Stable, a partnership group consisting of close friends, turned his attention to Pennsylvania because of the money that can be made by breeding and racing homebreds. He is also vice president of the Georgia Horse Racing Coalition, working to bring horse racing to Georgia. Damico and his partner Tom Schulte started a Thoroughbred operation at Schulte’s Southern Oak Farm in Ball Ground, Ga., last year, in anticipation of Geor- gia legalizing pari-mutuel wagering. The Posse has about a dozen horses in training at tracks in Penn- sylvania, New York, New Jersey and Florida. Kate DeMasi handles the Pos- se horses at Parx Racing, while Erin McClellan trains the horses at Penn National.

  • Investing in Thoroughbreds
    Investing in Thoroughbreds MAGDALENA RACING The Owning world-class Thoroughbred race horses is one of the most exciting endeavors in the world. A fast horse can take people on the journey of a lifetime as its career unfolds with the elements of a great storybook – mystery, drama, adventure, fantasy, romance. Each race horse is its own individual sports franchise, and the right one can venture into worlds once only imagined: the thrilling spotlight of the Kentucky Derby, Preakness and Belmont Stakes, or to the gathering of champions at the Breeders’ Cup. The right one can lead to the historic beauty of Saratoga Race Course, the horse heaven called Keeneland or under the famed twin spires at Churchill Downs. The goal of owning a Thoroughbred is to race among the fastest horses in the world, and, in the right hands, the road leads to the winner’s circle at the highest levels of the sport. Ken McPeek is in the business of making these dreams a reality. “Kenny has a unique eye for He is a consummate horsemen Thoroughbred racing talent.
