I've been racing my whole life and I can't remember ever coming across a more cheerful and happy gentleman than Paul Belanger. Last week I learned that my friend Paul had been diagnosed with cancer, and he was forced to stop training horses to get ready for the race of his life. In our industry we might battle one another every week on the track, but few of us ever battle cancer. Like many of us, Paul is far too proud to ask for help in this his time of need. So I'm asking for him. Please join me in giving Paul whatever financial security we can to focus at the job at hand in such a stressful time. Get better soon Paul, keep smiling and laughing, we are all here for you. Anthony MacDonald
