Default Dominic Galluscio, 1958-2014

Saddened to report the heartbreaking passing of Dominic Galluscio. An outstanding horseman who came to the game at age 12 and learned everything there was to know. As well liked on the racetrack as anyone in New York, he was a man's man who lived to the fullest and knew how to have fun. He'll be missed tremendously. Sympathies to his daughter Dominique, his many brothers and sisters and all his close friends..

One of the most consistently underrated trainers in NY. Far too young. Very sad news.
