Tell us about the Costellos’ background in the industry because your family has a long association with horse racing.

Well, it all started with my grandfather, John J. Costello. He would have been very big in the half-bred game, between hunters and show jumpers. My father would have grown up in that environment where there were a lot of sport horses about the place. He would’ve gone to fairs and sold one in the morning and bought one in the afternoon. It was all about trading and dealing.
