Mr. Iavarone (Mike), 37, founded "IEAH" in 2003 to take advantage of opportunities in thoroughbred horse racing.  He has been a student of the sport for over 20 years.  Over this period, he has acquired substantial knowledge of thoroughbreds including the evaluation of their on-track performance and their bloodlines.  He has studied the business of thoroughbred racing and cultivated many relationships which have proven valuable in the management of "IEAH."  He has utilized this knowledge to build the present roster of "IEAH" runners.
     In 2004, Mike recognized the need for a state-of-the-art equine medical center and embarked on a plan to construct a facility adjacent to Belmont Park.  In this endeavor, he was successful in engaging Dr. James Hunt and Dr. Patricia Hogan, two of the most prominent medical professionals in the industry.  As a direct result of his vision and zeal, the Ruffian Equine Medical Center is scheduled to open in 2008.
     Mike holds the positions of president and director at IEAH. Mike has the final responsibility for all bloodstock affairs and the strategic development of the company.  These responsibilities include the establishment of an "investment committee" to assist Mike in planning and acquiring the stable's "bloodstock portfolio."
     Mike grew up on Long Island and graduated from St. Joseph's College.  He and his wife Christine reside on Long Island with their two children.
