On Saturday, October 31, I landed at JFK airport around 3:30pm. I was just getting back from my amazing honeymoon with my wife. I was jetlagged, tired and only had one thing on my mind. I needed to get home asap to watch American Pharoah in the Breeders' Cup Classic race. I sat in the car that picked us up just staring at my phone and double-checking the post time. We made it home before 5pm with around 35 minutes until the race, but now we were going to see our nephews an

At 5:30 pm, Saturday, August 29th, 2015 I was sitting by a small beach in Lake Placid, NY, watching two great friends get married.

As I got to AP I was handed a bunch a carrots to feed him. One by one he just ate away and his playful perso

United Puett's first blog is here. June 6, 2015 was an amazing day for Horse Racing. Last year the Triple Crown hype grew very large because of California Chrome. In 2014, I think everyone just wanted to witness a triple crown since it had been so long since Affirmed did it in 1978. California Chrome is an amazing horse, but just couldn't pull it off.
