There is no greater feeling in pro football than winning a Super Bowl, and nothing better in horse racing than winning a Triple Crown race.
Chris Mara is one of the rare people in position to know what both feel like.
A part-owner of the Giants who has been the team’s longtime senior vice president of player personnel, Mara is also a part-owner of Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner Justify. With another win in Saturday’s Belmont Stakes, Mara will have experienced the greatest heights in both sports.
“Excited, nervous, all of the above,” Mara said of how he’s feeling in the run-up to Saturday’s race, where Justify is the heavy favorite to win.
