Thoroughbred racing is a tremendously competitive sport for all involved. Horses compete with one another to win top prize money for their owner, trainer, and jockey connection. Owning horses is also very competitive; some major thoroughbred owners spend millions of dollars a year on horses, while others spend extremely less, while attempting to stay competitive with all other owners. One of the most interesting factors of horse racing is the little guy can sometimes come through and beat the big ones. Horse racing is all about having the right horse run well at the right time. Terra Racing Stable is in the mix of these owners attempting to win the big prize each race they enter. Dom Romeo owns Terra Racing Stable, Dom has been involved with thoroughbred racing for over thirty years. Terra Racing Stable owns fifty horses, although not all of them race. Twenty of the fifty spend their days at Woodbine Racetrack where they train and run in races. Thirteen of the fifty are broodmares; they are bred almost every year to a stallion, and then take care of the baby until the child becomes independent. Six of the fifty are yearlings; thoroughbreds begin their racing careers when they turn two, therefore yearlings spend their time on farms while they go through a growth period. Ten of the fifty are weanlings, these are babies and they also spend their days on the farms while their bodies develop. The final of the fifty is a stallion; he has a stud fee that other owners pay for their broodmare to become impregnated by the stallion. Terra Racing Stable uses the services of four trainers, Deborah England, John Ross, Nicholas Gonzolah, and Tony Mattine. Deborah England has trained for Terra Racing Stable for many years; she currently trains seven thoroughbreds for Terra Racing Stable. John Ross has trained for Terra Racing Stable for the past two years; John currently has four thoroughbreds owned by Terra Racing Stable. Tony Mattine has trained and owned thoroughbreds with Terra Racing Stable for a few years; Tony currently trains and owns part of six thoroughbreds with Terra Racing Stable. Nicholas Gonzalez trains the thoroughbreds which Terra Racing Stable sends to Fort Erie Racetrack, in 2004 Nicholas trained three thoroughbreds for Terra Racing Stable before Fort Erie closed on Labour Day. Terra Racing Stable has been successful over the years and hopes to continue its success into the coming years. All Dom’s family and friends support Terra Racing Stable; the major supporters are sons Mark and Frank who aid Dom in most decisions regarding the horses. Other supporters include grandsons Michael, Daniel, and Justin who are always there to cheer the horses to the finish line each race.
