Belmont Stakes winner Tiz the Law, second in the Kentucky Derby last out, was also pre-entered in the Classic, and figures to draw a lot of support at the wagering windows.

INQUIRY Presented By Iowa Thoroughbred Breeders And Owners Association: Favorite Sports Teams On The Sales Grounds?

Horse racing tiptoes the line between sport and business, but when its participants look outside of racing for entertainment, where do they go?

In this edition of INQUIRY, we see who participants in the bloodstock industry cheer for away from the racetrack by asking the question, “What is your favorite sports team?”

Donato Lanni – Hill 'n' Dale Farms

“My favorite team is the Chicago Blackhawks. It's an electric place to go watch a game, and I met and got to know Joel Quenneville, their [former] coach, through John Sikura, and John's nephew played for the Blackhawks, so it's nice to see that all come together. Denis Savard, Eddie Olczyk, a lot of those Blackhawks seem to like the horse business. You see them out in the grandstand, and it's pretty cool.”

Mark Taylor – Taylor Made Sales Agency

“The Clemson Tigers. I went to Clemson, and if you went to Clemson, it's a cult, and once you get indoctrinated, you can't get it out of your blood. I live, breathe, eat, sleep Clemson football. I went down there a basketball fan because I'm from Kentucky, but I came out a football fan.”

Stuart Morris – Morris Bloodstock Services

“University of Kentucky basketball, man. If you've gotta ask twice, don't ask me again.”

Carrie Brogden – Machmer Hall Sales

“I'm going to have to go with the James Madison University Dukes, which is my alma mater. They are a basketball school. We used to go to all their games when I was young and it was great fun.”

Hanzly Albina – Blake-Albina Thoroughbred Services

“I don't really follow sports. Horse racing is my sport.”

Craig Bernick – Glen Hill Farm

“I like the Chicago Cubs because they used to play in the daytime, so you'd come home from school and watch the last few innings. The minute I got my driver's license, I was driving up there, parking my car, and buying tickets. I learned how to scalp tickets a little bit, and just spent a lot of time in that area. When I went to college, it was the one team that was still on TV, so I could follow them. They've always been my favorite team, by far.”
