< Back NEW KENNEL AT WHEELING Stan Pawloski Aug 17, 2021 Joe Fusaro, Jr. loves greyhound racing. It’s in his blood and it’s in his heart. Fusaro got into the business in 2004 at age 36 when he purchased his first greyhound, but he was hooked on the sport as a youth in Colorado. His great uncle, Paskey Teto, had a greyhound training farm near Mile High Kennel Club and his father, Joseph Fusaro, Sr. has been a greyhound handicapper his whole life. Now Fusaro is entering into a new greyhound venture – kennel operator. For nearly 10 years, Fusaro has been one of the major suppliers of greyhounds for the Tom Engle-trained Abrahamson Kennel at Wheeling Island. With Neal Abrahamson stepping aside as kennel operator at the end of June, Fusaro decided to take the plunge. The new kennel is called Code Red, named after the Fusaro-owned greyhound FF Code Red – a finalist in two Southland sprint stakes in 2012-13 and the Hollywood World Classic in 2013. Engle will continue to train the kennel. “It’s very exciting anytime you own a business for the first time – I’m super excited as well as nervous. I raced greyhounds out of the Abrahamson Kennel for eight or nine years, so I’ve gotten to know Tom Engle very well,” Fusaro noted. “I know, trust and believe in Tom (Engle) and wouldn’t have made the decision to take over the kennel if not for him being the trainer. I’ve considered opportunities to own a kennel at other tracks and turned them down.” Engle is looking forward to teaming up with Fusaro. “I’ve known Joe (Fusaro) for about 10 years and we have a great relationship. I know he’ll put his heart and soul into the kennel – he loves greyhound racing,” Engle said. “I’m grateful for Joe’s support and appreciate his confidence in having me handle his new kennel.” The Code Red Kennel will be made up of a lot of Fusaro’s own greyhounds as well as leased racers from several sources. “In any industry, you need to build relationships and I hope those connections I’ve made (owners of leased greyhounds) will help strengthen our kennel,” Fusaro said. “I’m still breeding so I’ll have a lot of my own greyhounds in the kennel as well.” Fusaro has set some goals for the kennel. “I want to be a top five kennel, but first we have to figure out what we need to do to finish in the top five. Ultimately, we want to get there and win a kennel championship,” Fusaro said. “One of the things I love about greyhound racing is the competition. It’s exciting, and to win races is fun.” It’s been a learning experience for Fusaro since taking over the kennel. “I’m not a greyhound trainer, so I rely on and trust my team. I understand the business end and realize there’s ups and downs in the industry,” Fusaro said. “Hopefully there will be more ups and it turns into a successful endeavor.” In time, Engle feels Code Red will be a competitive kennel at Wheeling Island. “With Joe’s contacts and my contacts, I think we will have a pretty competitive kennel,” Engle said. “It’s going to take some time, but I’m excited.” Previous Next

< Back PBKC PRESENTS ROUND 1 ACTION OF THE $50,000 HE'S MY MAN CLASSIC Jan 6, 2020 West Palm Beach, Fl. – Round one qualifying action for what should be a historic $50,000 He’s My Man Classic gets underway Wednesday afternoon, January 8, at Palm Beach Kennel Club. The same 56 Greyhounds will return to compete in round two, Saturday afternoon, January 11. Following the second round, two dozen entries will be return to their respective Grade class, with only the top 32 remaining for the third round being contested Wednesday afternoon, January 15. The top 16-point earners from the third round will move on to the semifinals on Sunday afternoon, January 19. The final eight will comprise the field for the $50,000 He’s My Man Classic which will be run Saturday afternoon, January 25. Qualifying will be contested in races 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 and 15. Some fan favorites for the first round of qualifying include: Race 4 appears to belong to the inside-posted racers, the strong finishers #1Pat C Inferno (Flying Fired – Pat C Pop In, Koppe, Staats & Collins) and #2 Arkansbdchikhik s (Golden Squire – Arkans BD Cheeks, Royal Racing Team) along with the early speedster #3 Barts Mandy More (KC And All – Barts Midniterun, James Douglas) and the strong first-turn rusher #4 Heremecoming (KC And All – Tango Tessa, Janie Carroll). Race 6 : The probable post-time favorite looks to be the well-posted #1 Barts These Eyes (Barcelona Boss – B’s That’s My Jam, James Douglas). This track veteran will be going for her third-consecutive victory. Race 8 : Several qualifiers in this event have a shot at pulling off the victory, including the well-posted #1 Superior Roza (Gable Sour Cream – Superior Rawlins, B & B Racing) and the two early speedsters #5 I Can Do Badboy (Offthebrakedrake – Pippi, D. Q. William) and the youngster #8 Barts Timetoplay (KC And All – Barts Cherrypie, James Douglas). Race 10 : The way this qualifier will play out depends on who will be on the lead entering the backstretch. It could be #1 Mister Red Rader (Flying Titanium – Rip N Runnin, B & B Racing), #5 Oshkosh Noisy (Oshkosh Lamont – Oshkosh Vani, James Douglas) or #7 Grean Street (Flying Coal City – Kebo Cutler, Rader Racing). Also keep an eye out for the strong closer, #2 Its Hammer Time (Right Connection – Blondbombshell, Janie Carroll). Race 12 : This is a tough one. One could make a case for almost every Greyhound in this race! Good luck! Race 14 : The most likely post time favorite should be #8 Shine N Shut Up (Need My Moneynow – Diamond Tears, D. Q. Williams). He drew the best post and should be able to clear the first turn on top. Race 15 : Three entries will be sharing the majority of the win pool due to great racing positions, including a finalist in the recently run $20,000 Dick Andrews Futurity, #1 RF Oka (Chasmo’s Dutch – Superior Megryan, B & B Racing), the consistent athlete #2 JS Mane Event (KC And All – TY Kay Event, Rader Racing) and the extremely well-placed #8 Getting The Money (Offthebrakedrake – Goodluck Topaz, D. Q. Williams), who will be going for his third straight win. The $50,000 He’s My Man Classic is the first event in Palm Beach Kennel Club’s $150,000 “Big 3" Stakes series, which includes the $50,000 James W. Paul 3/8ths Mile Derby (Saturday afternoon, February 29) and the $50,000 Arthur J. Rooney, Sr. St. Patrick’s Invitational (Saturday afternoon, March 14). The Classic is named for Palm Beach Kennel Club racing legend and the track’s first multimedia sensation He’s My Man and dedicated to the man who raised and trained “Roscoe”, Bill Pappas.
