<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Richie Sambora</b> sang a moving rendition of our <b>National Anthem</b> this past weekend at the
<b>2014 Breeders’s Cup Classic</b><span style="background:white"> at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia, CA</span>, evoking a deep sense of patriotism through each soulful, bluesy note.

<p class="MsoPlainText">“It was a real honor to sing the National Anthem at the Breeders’ Cup. This year marks the 200<sup>th</sup> Anniversary of the poem penned by Francis Scott Key in 1814. It’s amazing that this cultural touchstone started as a poem to
this great country of ours. To this very day it still holds an unrivaled significance to the citizens of the United States of America. It was a blast to once again be a part of such an esteemed weekend in horse-racing, and to have the opportunity to add my
voice to the long list of those that have sung the anthem, whether in their home during the Civil War or on a grand stage, was truly humbling and an experience I won’t soon forget.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b>Richie Sambora</b> will sing the <b>National Anthem</b> at this weekend’s
<b>Breeders’ Cup Classic</b><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:#454545;background:white">
</span>Tune in to <b>NBC Sports Network </b>on <b>November 1<sup>st</sup></b> to catch Richie’s return to the esteemed horseracing event, one year after he made history during the 2013 Breeders’ Cup telecast as he performed the
<b>Call To The Post</b> on the guitar for the first time ever, rather than the traditional bugle.
