WEST POINT WINS 1,000TH RACE
By Tim Wilkin
t @tjwilkin
T erry Finley, the president and CEO of West
Point Thoroughbreds, was doing some
calculations Aug. 20 in anticipation of what would
be a milestone event for his organization Aug. 21.
Representatives and family members of West
Point gathered in the winner's circle at Saratoga
Race Course following the second race. Phantom
Smoke, a 4-year-old son of Ghostzapper, was
having his picture taken after winning the 5
1/2-furlong race on the Mellon turf course.
And so were the West Pointers, who were
celebrating their 1,000th career win.
"It's a good number," Finley said. "When I was
