Dallas, Hollywood and Backbackbackgone

 

Backbackbackgone, our three year old colt, won the Harry Henson Stakes opening day at Hollywood Park, drawing off by two lengths in the stretch. He was 2-1, and looked phenomenal as he missed the track record by less than a second.  Congratulations to trainer Peter Miller, my partner Sean Gerson and all the Gerson Racing faithful!  You can check out an article on the race HERE and a video of the race HERE.
 
The Godfather "Sit Down" at House of Blues Dallas was the best Dallas event to date – a full house! A huge Godfather THANK YOU to everyone that attended. It was an opportunity to meet the most interesting and influential people in Dallas, and we did not disappoint! Check out two pictures from the event HERE. Special thanks to our sponsor, Benjamin Kuntz of CareerBuilder.
 
Upcoming Events – My House of Blues West Hollywood (May 20) “Sit Down” is SOLD OUT. Red Rock Resort Las Vegas (June 17) invites go out May 1. 
 
The Godfather’s BIG 80s Remix – September 11 at LAVO inside the Palazzo in Las Vegas. Networking event benefitting Big Brothers Big Sisters. Corporate sponsorships of $5,000, $2,500 and $1,000. Regular tickets are $50 and I’ll be setting up a VIP Room Rate. There is no better excuse to boondoggle to Las Vegas!
