Joe Talamo, Philanthropist?

Joe Talamo said this week that if I Want Revenge, his mount in the Kentucky Derby, should get the victory in the big race, he will donate 25% of his earnings to the Children's Hospital in New Orleans.

Talamo, himself a native of the Crescent City, said "since Hurricane Katrina, the health care system in New Orleans has struggled to rebound, and I wanted to do something to help my hometown get back on its feet. Children’s Hospital is a wonderful institution that we can all be proud of. Several of my friends have been treated there, and I’m thankful they’re here, caring for all the children of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast.”
