Breeders' Cup race special for Wilmington man
2009
Overview
\"Racing is in our blood,\" said the Irishman earlier this week, \"so since 2001 we've invested 1 to 5 percent in about 35 horses with the [Matthew Gatsas] family of Sovereign Stable located in Manchester, N.H. We've had success with some of the 35 horses, including Charmsil, Champagne Ending, Shining Image, and Broadway Producer, but nothing like this.\" \"Just for the opportunity to be involved in such a spectacle is awesome,\" said [Christopher Ahern]. \"We went to the Breeders' Cup in 2001, when Gander was running for the Gatsas' family. It was just a thrill. We'll be in on the first day. We love our chances but there will be 14 strong contenders. They don't let you walk out there and steal $2 million dollars. Hopefully the racing gods will be with us.\" \"This is absolutely a thrill,\" said Ahern. \"I'm stunned. When Matt (Gatsas) called me from Keeneland about an hour after the Alcibiades, I was speechless, having watched the race on television from my living room with [Philomena] and my grandchild, Chloe. To be at this level, with a chance at a Breeders' Cup win, is just phenomenal.\"
