Nicknamed "Stormin` Norman" for his aggressive riding style, Norman Dello Joio was first named to the U.S. Olympic Team in 1980, but didn`t compete due to the U.S. boycott. He established an American Grand prix Association record when he rode Johnny`s Pocket to five wins in 1981.

In 2000, Glasgow continued to excel as he began the season on the Cosequin Winter Equestrian Festival Circuit in Wellington, FL. He began with three victories in four starts in January and February, including the $50,000 Kilkenny-Redland International Cup. He capped the 2000 season by winning the $100,000 President`s Cup at the Washington International Horse Show in Washington, DC after placing second in the $553,2000 Du Maurier LTD. International Grand Prix in Calgary, Canada.
