By Sue Finley 66 ANTONY BECK South African-born and British-educated, he inherited a love of the racing game as well as an exquisite farm in Central Kentucky. He's both nurtured and enhanced the tradition of Gainesway. By Chris McGrath TDN WEEKEND w w w . P M a d ve r t i s i n g . c o m T H O R O U G H B R E D D A I LY N E W S TDN It's championship season. As we enjoy the Breeders' Cup, which will crown so many Eclipse champions, we visit with the man who has been a champion of this sport since he took the helm at Keeneland nearly 50 years ago. Find out how the Marine Corps helped TED BASSETT shape both Keeneland and the Breeders' Cup into what they are today. Half a world away, welcome to the MONGOL DERBY, 1,000 kilometers of hair-raising lunacy and death-defying madness. Our own Kelsey Riley risked her neck and lived to tell the tale. Speaking of great risks, if you invest in Thoroughbreds, you're accustomed to them and, sometimes, even great rewards. Those risks and potential rewards correlate nicely with a growing trend toward WINE INVESTMENT. A passion for cultivating both wine and Thoroughbreds are two things ANTONY BECK inherited from his late father. The master of Gainesway has not only kept the farm at the top of its game, but brought it to a new level. And finally, reality television fans may know CHRIS HARRISON from The Bachelor and its spin- offs, but longtime racing fans remember him better as one of the original hosts of TVG. He gives us The Last Word. – JILL WILLIAMS Associate Publisher
