It’s the busiest time of the year for Len Green of the Green Group, a tax consulting service specializing in the horse racing industry. With April 15 approaching, he probably should have stayed home in New Jersey to work. Then again, when you are the part-owner of a horse that looks to be bound for the GI Kentucky Derby, all bets are off. Green couldn’t stay away as the stable’s start 3-year-old, Sandman (Tapit) faced eight others in the GI Arkansas Derby at Oaklawn Park. The trip was worth it as Green was there to witness a 2 1/2-length win over Publisher (American Pharaoah) that proved Sandman is a serious Derby contender.
To talk about Sandman’s triumph and even to offer some tax tips, Green was the Gainesway Guest of the Week on this week’s edition of the TDN Writers’ Room podcast presented by Keeneland.
