PR Bigwigs Clash Over New York Times 'American Pharoah' Story
Story pits Hiltzik Strategies against 5WPR.
ICYMI, The New York Times ran a fascinating story yesterday about investor and racing fanatic Ahmed Zayat, his horse American Pharoah (which could become the first Triple Crown winner since 1978 this weekend) and his various legal/financial issues.
The Times didn’t tell you that the story behind the story concerned a proxy battle between two of the bigger names in the New York PR scene.
Hiltzik Strategies represented Zayat while 5WPR represented Howard Rubinsky, a former associate who sued him for $2 million allegedly owed on a gambling debt.
