Galbreath Award for Entrepreneurship by the University of Louisville=s Equine Industry Program Thursday night. The award was presented at an intimate dinner held at the University Club at Louisville that was hosted by Tim Capps, director of the Equine Industry Program. The Galbreath award, named after the renowned businessman, sportsman and philanthropist who founded Darby Dan Farm in Kentucky, is given to a person who has achieved entrepreneurial excellence, with criteria including success in business, creativity, vision, risk-taking, and the respect of peers and associates. Students from the program attended the event, and were offered Weisbord=s 10 Commandments of business, which began with, AYou shall always be as prepared as possible,@ and concluded with, AYou shall always remember your word is your bond. Do what you say you will do.@ Weisbord gave a brief overview of his career, stretching back to when he was a junior in college and, along with his friend Alan Goldberg, got a summer job walking hots for trainer Walter Kelley at Aqueduct. AAt the time, I was just a fan of Thoroughbred racing,@ said Weisbord. ASince that day, I have never left the horse industry. I have never applied for a job. I have never drafted a resume.@ Weisbord went on to train briefly--he ultimately relinquished those duties to Goldberg--before founding the bloodstock portfolio management company Executive Bloodstock in 1979. In the 1980s, he helped found Matchmaker Breeders= Exchange, which facilitated the sale of stallion seasons and shares. AI expanded Matchmaker from a yearly auction to a weekly exchange with my partner Johnny Jones III, and we filled an office with co-workers who shared our vision, loved the horse business, and worked harder than people in Lexington were used to working,@ said Weisbord, who laughed, AThey answered the phone at 6:00 at night, when those sort of hours were unheard of.@ Tim Capps presents the Galbreath Award Lucas Marquardt 859-873-7270 • www.airdriestud.com TDN P HEADLINE NEWS • 10/26/13 • PAGE 4 of 14 • thoroughbreddailynews.com Galbreath Award cont. He added, AIt's great to see people go on to fruitful careers after they leave your employ, and I'm proud that a number of people from that staff went on to assume major industry positions. They include Darley's Charlie Boden, Claiborne's Bernie Sams, your own Tim Capps and Highclere's Harry Herbert, all of which went on to outstanding careers.@ Weisbord later helped establish the American Championship Racing Series, and is currently the chairman of Trakus, the data and graphics system that tracks individual horses through a race. He also sits on the Breeders= Cup board of directors, and co-chairs its Enhanced Experience committee.
