Default Who is Vito Giambanco?

His career training record is 105-1-3-3 ... he claimed four horses on the same card at AQU on Jan 25th for owner Salvatore Giambanco.

What a great name Vito has. Sounds like the name of a guy who they send out to kneecap all the guys who bet the Patriots and are a little late on payment.

I know of a trainer with stats like that who claims horses. She claims mares and sends them to an owner in Argentina for breeding purposes.

So you figure that's what Vito is doing?

Quick, without doing tons of research, who are the two best Italian bred horses of all time?

Recap of the lone win - from June 2007 (NY POST):

9TH RACE - Passing Dream held off a fast closing Housebid to break her maiden. For former show horse trainer Vito Giambanco, it was the first victory of his thoroughbred career. For apprentice jockey Tzeonn Chang, it was his first victory on the NYRA circuit.



That's a long time between drinks of water.


If he show up in Tampa with these, Janet Del Castillo may need to watch her back.

Ok, so assuming he's Italian, name the three best.

According to Ribot's Wiki, he was born at the English National Stud.

You should be ashamed. As an Italian American I am sickened and disgusted by the negative stereotypes that are perpetuated by the media. I surely don't expect to see them here.

Our people are not caricutures nor should they constantly be portryaed as Masfiosa, thugs, imbeciles, etc.























































Jesus I'm kidding. That is an awesome name! It's even more dago sounding than mine.

No idea.

However, I thought you'd be the only person interested to know that Salvator has been one of the all-time most successful thoroughbred names. There is...

* Salvator (foaled in 1872 in France) 7-for-7 lifetime and won six important stakes that are still run today including the French Derby and Grand Prix de Paris.

* Salvator (foaled in 1886 in California) 16-for-19 lifetime -- in US Racing Hall of Fame. Two-time Horse of the Year. Considered by some as the "horse of the century"

* Salvator (foaled in 1994 in Slovakia) Group 1 flat and hurdle winner in Czech Republic, Slovakia and Italy

Not to mention a Salvatore that is a multiple Group stakes winner in New Zeland in 2010. A Group 1 winner in Turkey in 2007. And a Group 1 winner in Chile in 1997.

Riveting, I know. http://www.pedigreequery.com/salvatore4

Vito is this eccentric Italian guy that pops in and out of Belmont Park. He owns his own farm that he trains off of and owns a renowned resturant on the Island. Quite the character.

My father is the only trainer listed in the entire Equibase database with the last name Salvatore.

His final year as a trainer was 1981: 51-8-6-14 (15.7% wins - 54.9% ITM)

He had a decorated training career that started when he bribed a guy to get a trainers license in 1976.

No, not saying that. I have no clue what he's doing. Just coming up with a cinario for a trainer with awful stats that claims horses.

One of them is bound to win off the claim. When he won his one race he brought meatballs to all the clockers!
