Matt Scull and First Rodeo Racing Aim to Inspire the Next Generation

Matt Scull was not born into horse racing but like so many racing fans it probably was always in his blood, in this case thanks to his great-grandfather “Poppie.” From reunions at the racetrack during his childhood to understanding the nuances of betting to trips with friends to U.S. Triple Crown races, he became an avid fan of the sport.

We left off last time having a bit of a rough day, but with a plan to put that in the rearview mirror and move forward. Thankfully that is exactly what has happened. Since having that little mishap at Meadowlake I elected to move Maverick to my trainer’s farm, and while it means a lot more driving for me he has absolutely flourished there.
