Jimmy is a co-owner of a Race Horse
November 29, 2007 6:35am Submitted by: phjim

From an article in The Daily Advertiser: "Miles is the Man"

NO. 9 HORSE IN THE 10TH RACE: Pulaski County, a horse housed by Last
Mango Stables, and owned by a number of New Orleans Saints' personnel
and players, will make its debut tonight at the Fairgrounds in New
Orleans in the 10th race.

PC, as the horse is more affectionately known, is co-owned by several
people, including Sean Payton, Saints quarterback Drew Brees and Mr.
Margaritaville Jimmy Buffett.

Trained by Tom Amoss and ridden by Eddie Martin, Pulaski County is
projected at 6-to-1 odds. PC will race against 11 other maidens in the
six-furlong race.

"I always go for the nine horse," Brees said. "It was something that
was dreamed up in the offseason and was interesting. Now that it's
football season, my focus is completely on football. I just read e-
mail occassionally and I've seen pictures. I haven't had time to go
down to the stables."

Update: The results of the race - Jimmy's horse SHOWED!!! (3rd) behind
Sagaponack (1st) and Proper Paul (2nd).
