Michael Smith is an American jockey who has been one of the leading riders in U.S. Thoroughbred racing since the early 1990s, was inducted into the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame in 2003, and has won the most Breeders' Cup races of any jockey with 26 Breeders' Cup wins.

Unlike many in the industry, Gary Contessa was the first in his family to show an interest in horse racing. Contessa began his career with Stanley Hough at Harbor View Farm before going to work for Hall of Fame trainer Frank “Pancho” Martin on the New York circuit.

Contessa would later start his own stable where in 2007 he broke his mentor Martin's record for number of victories at NYRA tracks with 159. Contessa has captured training titles at 12 individual NYRA meets and has amassed more than 2,300 career victories. He also serves as president of the Exceller Fund to aid retired Thoroughbreds.

Contessa has campaigned graded stakes winners including Rydilluc and Eightyfiveinafifty and Rite Moment. His first Grade 1 winner was 1991 Ashland Stakes winner Do It With Style and he earned his second 27 years later when Sippican Harbor won the Grade 1 Spinaway Stakes in September 2018 at Saratoga.

Chris Romulo is a retired Muay Thai champion, author, and coach who speaks at schools and corporations about the importance of getting back up when life puts you down. Through his C.H.A.M.P.S. System, Chris will ignite in your audience the drive to succeed.

Chris grew up in a broken home in Queens, NY watching his absentee father waste his life on a gambling addiction. Since a young boy, Chris knew he wanted more but the streets of Queens kept pulling him down.

It wasn’t until a near-death street fight that Chris re-evaluated his life and then joined a Muay Thai gym, spending the next 20 years training, fighting, and coaching others. He fought in New York City, Las Vegas, represented America in Bangkok, and eventually went on to become the first ever North American Super Middleweight champion.

During his fight career Chris developed methods, both mental and physical, to help him overcome the challenges of the ring. In 2012, when Hurricane Sandy demolished his business and home, those methods were once again put to the test as Chris had to stand back up from the biggest knock down of his life.

After getting his life and business back in order, he decided to share with others his C.H.A.M.P.S. System so that others could uncover the champions within them.
