"LUCK" on HBO

If ever there was a project I wanted to do… THIS is it!

David Milch is a wonderful writer/producer for whom I have
read on several occasions. We worked together on N.Y.P.D Blue
and I hope I will have an opportunity to audition for "LUCK."

GILDED TIME

Trained by two of my favorites,
VAL ROYAL was conditioned by JULIO CANANI

and GILDED TIME was trained by DARRELL VIENNA

(...do you remember when Covincing beat Revote?)

I love it at the race track...



and I want to be part of this production on HBO.

Dear Mr. Milch,
Thank you for the great horses
and thank you for the brilliant scripts
and thank you in advance for the chance to read for "LUCK!"

May your next wager be a winning one!

LAVA MAN retired

Dear LAVA MAN:

It was an honor to be there for your last race big guy.
The way you snorted when you entered the walking ring...
the way you strutted your stuff in the post parade...
you loved being a race horse and it showed. Thank you!
