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 As we head into the holiday season, people everywhere tend to draw closer to home. The Guerlain family— yes, of the famed fragrances—has kept t h e home fires burning at France's HARAS DE MONTAIGU for an amazing five generations. Find out how the sweet smell of success and ambition permeate the air. On this side of the pond, when you think of Ocala, you sure- ly think of Thoroughbreds. Rashad Jones is looking to change all that. The man eats, sleeps, and breathes barbecue at his BIG LEE'S. Texas-founded SPEEDWAY STABLE has had unprecedented early success. It's not only a business, but a way for Peter Fluor to honor his late father. What a bonus he gets to do it with his busi- ness partner and good friend. If you're out West for racing, some spectacular displays by Mother Nature could help fill the dark days. What better way than a road trip to the GRAND CANYON? And finally, the Louisville native with the big personality shares his life- long struggle of alternately rooting for UK and U of L.
