NO. 9 HORSE IN THE 10TH RACE: Pulaski County, a horse housed by Last Mango Stables, and owned by a number of New Orleans Saints’ personnel and players, will make its debut tonight at the Fairgrounds in New Orleans in the 10th race.
PC, as the horse is more affectionately known, is co-owned by several people, including Sean Payton, Saints quarterback Drew Brees and Mr. Margaritaville Jimmy Buffett.
Trained by Tom Amoss and ridden by Eddie Martin, Pulaski County is projected at 6-to-1 odds. PC will race against 11 other maidens in the six-furlong race.
"I always go for the nine horse," Brees said. "It was something that was dreamed up in the offseason and was interesting. Now that it’s football season, my focus is completely on football. I just read e-mail occassionally and I’ve seen pictures. I haven’t had time to go down to the stables."
Update: The results of the race - Jimmy’s horse SHOWED!!! (3rd) behind Sagaponack (1st) and Proper Paul (2nd).

Time After Island Time On Demand presents a special on pedal steel guitarist, studio musician, performer and Coral Reefer DOYLE GRISHAM (the show originally aired in January 2007 and is produced by Paul Leslie & Jeff Pike).
Doyle’s pedal steel guitar playing was once referred to as "tasty" by Rolling Stone magazine, and we have to agree. He has appeared on many classic and modern country albums, as well as countless albums from Jimmy Buffett. All of those great classic Buffett songs from the 1970s that featured pedal steel guitar–Come Monday, Why Don’t We Get Drunk…, He Went to Paris, the list goes on and on. In fact, with the exception of one Buffett album–EVERY Buffett album which features pedal steel guitar owes credit to Doyle Grisham.
Listen to Doyle Grisham’s show on TAIT On Demand only at BuffettNews.com.
