Drew Brees at Del Mar
New Orleans Saints star quarterback Drew Brees, head coach Sean Payton and general manager Mickey Loomis, who are partners in Last Mango Racing Stable formed by Saints vice president of communications Greg Bensel, experienced the thrill of seeing their racehorse cross the wire first in a recent race at Fair Grounds.

Last Mango partner Jimmy Buffett. Yes, that Jimmy Buffett.
