President of Exceller Fund on talk radio February 18

Exceller Fund President Gary Contessa, whose rapport with racing organizations and fellow horsemen generates thousands of dollars for the Exceller Fund, will be a guest on the “View From A Broad” radio talk show on Thursday February 18. More information is available at http://www.blogtalkradio.com/thoroughbredwriter.

Based in New York, Contessa consistently ranks among the nation’s leading trainers in both money and victories. His dedication to Thoroughbred racing extends to his generosity towards retired racehorses and he houses a number of former runners at his New York farm while inspiring others to lend their support to the Exceller Fund. The New York Racing Association and New York Thoroughbred Horsemen’s Association have been particularly generous thanks to their confidence in him.  

Contessa has been in the news lately as the trainer of the promising Eightyfiveinafifty, an early contender for this year’s Kentucky Derby. The colt’s clever moniker incorporates his mother’s name, Lifeinthefastlane, and reflects his ability to exceed the “speed limit” when racing or exercising.

Contessa will discuss a variety of topics on the talk radio program with hostess Marion Altieri, a wry equine essayist.
