In The Money Media's Peter Thomas Fornatale (PTF) sits down with Gary Fenton — Managing Partner of Little Red Feather Racing, chairman of the Thoroughbred Owners of California, Jockey Club steward, and NHC final-table player — for a stable tour ahead of Del Mar's opening weekend. Gary walks PTF through Little Red Feather's loaded stakes roster for the seaside meet: their runners in the opening-day Oceanside Stakes, a three-horse assault on the Grade 2 San Clemente, and stable star Iron Man Cal (named for Cal Ripken) stretching out in the San Diego. Along the way, the guys dig into LRF's partnership model — the popular SoCal fund and the Irish imports brought over through BBA Ireland — plus the magic of Del Mar opening day, the California racing scene, and why the horseplayer community calls it "summer Christmas."

In today’s episode of Small-Time Leaders, Gary Fenton shares a lesson he learned at 18 years of age that still helps him to this day. Gary teaches us how a small preparation such as having a pen handy at any time takes you far in life. Those who have a pen handy, write notes during a meeting, and markdown important details are to be very successful at their job. It is not just the pen he says but others see you as more professional and well put together as well.
