McIngvale to sponsor tennis event

Texas furniture store owner and Thoroughbred enthusiast James McIngvale recently announced that his company's Web site, galleryfurniture.com, will sponsor the Atlanta Tennis Challenge, which runs from April 8-16 in Atlanta.

McIngvale's furniture store, based in Houston, launched its Web site last year to attract a wider audience. A Thoroughbred owner with horses based in the Southwest, Kentucky, and Delaware Park, McIngvale last year sponsored what was called the Galleryfurniture.com Stakes--now known as the Turfway Spiral Stakes (G2)--but withdrew his sponsorship of the Kentucky Derby (G1) prep race after just one year.

Sticking with that theme, the Atlanta Tennis Challenge now will be called the Galleryfurniture.com Tennis Challenge.
