For Paul Manganaro, Racing Is a Family Affair

Family and horses: that has always been the way for Paul Manganaro. Hailing from a well-known racing family, he has recently joined forces with some other well-known racing folk, and together, they're making waves.

Anthony Manganaro went on to found the boutique breeding operation Siena Farm, currently spanning 225 acres in Paris, Kentucky.
