Outfit on a mission to make amends
Leading trainer Jason Ong has entered a strong team of 18 horses for the 11 upcoming races at Sungai Besi on July 27, and he could be looking for a good showing from - among others - Outfit. The Singaporean conditioner - who is sitting on top of the trainers' premiership with 63 wins, 28 more than the second-placed Simon Dunderdale - has entered Outfit for the Class 4B event (1,300m). On the morning of July 22, the Turn Me Loose six-year-old turned in a smart workout, running the 600m in 40.8sec. Outfit did not burn up the track at Sungai Besi, but the New Zealand-bred still served notice of his chances of landing a ninth win. Outfit won five races in Singapore, three with previous trainer Shane Baertschiger and two with Ong. After kicking off his career in Kuala Lumpur in 2025, he has clocked in three more victories. However, the Happy Baby Stable-owned galloper's last two runs were disappointing. At his second-last start in a Class 4B race (1,100m) on June 15, Outfit was obliged to race wide the entire trip and, in the end, he beat just two home. Then, at his last start in a Class 4B event (1,150m) on June 29, when ridden by Akmazani Marzuki, he again took the scenic route home and finished way out of the money in eighth. But do not be too hasty in dismissing his chances. Those two races were over shorter trips and Ong has picked a 1,300m event for Outfit. The extra distance might just do the trick. Over at Lawson Moy's yard, Lim's Sinai is slated as the first reserve in the competitive Class 5A sprint over the 1,150m on July 27, but should he get to race, he could be the one they have to beat. The five-year-old son of Sooboog is looking good for a winning show - and he showed us on the morning of July 22 when he turned in a really smart training gallop. On a track rated good, the handsome chestnut stopped the clock at 36.3sec for his sprint over the 600m. Lim's Sinai - who won three races and finished second on six occasions in 33 starts - is pumped up and ready to go. An impressive winner on April 20 when he beat Sky Eight by almost three lengths in a Class 5A race over the sharp 1,150m, Lim's Sinai has been marking time and waiting for another opportunity. Promoted to Class 4 level after that barnstorming win, he never could show his stuff in the subsequent four runs. But, now that he is back in Class 5, do accord him all the respect. Owned by Tan Cheong Soon, Lim's Sinai is in his comfort zone and Moy knows that he could be saddling a winner at the Kuala Lumpur meeting on July 27. In the same race, keep an eye on Super Manjung. She impressed with a 600m gallop in 39.4sec and is looking good to break that sequence of two third-placed finishes. Prepared by Tiang Kim Choi, the six-year-old mare has just two wins to show from 29 starts, but it is worth noting that she has finished second and third on 13 occasions. This American-bred by Vancouver is capable, but she also needs a patient ride. Two runs back, when running a close-up third to Lightning Girl in a Class 5A event (1,275m) on June 15, jockey Shafiq Rizuan explained to the stewards that she had a tendency to lose momentum when touched with the whip, and was best ridden hands and heels. The pair reunited in a Class 5A race (1,020m) on July 12, and Super Manjung ran home for a creditable third again, albeit behind Sky Eight. Storm Titan was also impressive on the training track. From trainer Richard Lim's yard, the three-year-old youngster clocked a nice and neat 37.2sec for his 600m spurt, and all things point to a forward showing from the son of Ace High. A New Zealand-bred, Storm Titan earned loads of admirers when he starred in three trials from May 14 to June 4. The Khor Chin Seng-owned galloper won all three hit-outs, which made him a hot favourite at his debut in a Restricted Maiden race (1,200m) on June 15. Storm Titan looked to be travelling well, but he lost steam over the concluding stages and finished sixth to Strong Dragon. His next race on June 29 was over the mile, and again, he finished down the field. However, on the strength of his three wins at the trials and on his good workout on July 22, Storm Titan deserves another chance. But, like Lim's Sinai, Storm Titan is also an emergency acceptor. However, should he get a spot in the starting line-up, he could turn out to be the pick of the pack. brian@

Winnipeg goes back in time for cinematic Mob job November 1963
Nicholas (Nicki) Celozzi didn't grow up hearing Mob stories. They came later, in quiet conversations with his uncle Pepe. Over time, Pepe began to open up, sharing memories of people who vanished without explanation, of coded conversations and family ties that ran deeper than most. To the outside world, it was the stuff of true-crime headlines, but to Celozzi — grand-nephew of Mob boss Sam Giancana — it was personal. It was family. ALLEN FRASER / NOVEMBER 1963 Producer/writer Nicholas Celozzi (left) and Kevin DeWalt of Mind's Eye Entertainment Now, decades later, the screenwriter and producer is telling the story he was born into — the kind of story others have tried, and failed, to tell from the outside. His upcoming film November 1963, directed by two-time Academy Award nominee Roland Joffé (The Killing Fields, The Mission), doesn't just revisit a moment in American history. It reclaims it. 'We got tired of people monetizing our family's name. It won't stop unless we put it out there ourselves,' Celozzi says. Celozzi wrote the screenplay and is producing the film alongside veteran Canadian producer Kevin DeWalt of Mind's Eye Entertainment. Production of the independent film began in March, with Winnipeg standing in for 1960s Chicago and Dallas. Post-production is being completed in Saskatchewan, making it a fully Prairie-made project. The film, which unfolds over the 48 hours leading up to the assassination of U.S. president John F. Kennedy, centres not on JFK himself, but on the figures in the shadows — the mobsters, intermediaries and political players whose backdoor dealings helped shape one of the most debated events in modern history. Celozzi doesn't claim to offer a new theory. What he offers is something more elusive: a first-person account shaped by lived experience, family access and deep emotional insight. 'I'm not glorifying anyone, but they were human beings. They were smart, complicated, anxious, and I knew them,' he says. At the heart of the story is Celozzi's uncle Sam — Sam Giancana — head of the Chicago Outfit at its peak. One of the most powerful Italian-American criminal organizations in the U.S. during the 1950s and early '60s, the Outfit, started by Al Capone, had strong links to the Kennedy family during JFK's presidential campaign and presidency. Giancana was the man the government kept tabs on, worked with and, some believe, eventually turned on. 'The Outfit was as powerful as it was because the government helped make it that way,' Celozzi says matter-of-factly. 'They used them to do their dirty work until they didn't need them anymore.' SUPPLIED Sam Giancana was head of the Chicago Mob in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Growing up, Celozzi didn't see any of this as unusual. His childhood was shaped by an unspoken awareness that everyone around him grew up fast. 'It was a strange normality. You just knew not to ask too many questions.' But questions came anyway, especially from the outside. With every poorly researched documentary or dramatized gangster flick — the 1995 film Sugartime stars John Turturro as Giancana — his family became further distorted. 'All these caricatures yelling and swearing, running like football players down a field — that's not them. I wanted people to see the real people behind the headlines,' he says. To do that, he knew he'd have to walk a tightrope. 'The hardest part was being truthful without hurting people. Sam's daughters are still alive. I'm closest to two of them. Bonnie is a creative consultant on the project. Without her, I wouldn't have done this.' That sense of responsibility runs through every line of the screenplay. 'I wrote characters, not caricatures. These men weren't supermen. They had ulcers. They broke down. They second-guessed. They masked their fear. I know that because I saw it,' he explains, DeWalt says he wasn't sure what to make of it when Celozzi first brought him the story six years ago — even though they'd met decades earlier at a social event in Regina. 'I said, 'Really? This is a true story?'' he recalls. ALLEN FRASER / NOVEMBER 1963 The Exchange District is transformed into Dallas for November 1963. But then Celozzi flew him to San Diego to meet Bonnie Giancana. 'She looked me in the eye and said, 'Our family wants the truth told.' That moment changed everything.' According to DeWalt, what makes the project so compelling is its emotional authenticity. 'Nobody in the family is proud of this, but it's a story about loyalty, betrayal and the grey areas of history,' he says. What also sets November 1963 apart is its refusal to retread worn conspiracy theories. It's a story that's never been told. The film moves fast, but its emotional core is nuanced. The decision to use split screens and simultaneous storylines was rooted in how Celozzi first heard the story himself, from his uncle Joseph (Pepe) Giancana. 'He was the fly on the wall. Now the audience gets to be that fly,' Celozzi says. Each of the film's central characters is based on a real person (most of whom are now deceased), giving the cast rare access to historical materials. Actors studied interviews, documents and photos to shape their portrayals. In some cases, they even stayed with relatives of the characters they were playing. 'Roland Joffé spent three days living in one character's actual home, working with the actor to really get inside the role. It's been that detailed, that immersive,' DeWalt says. Casting the right actors to embody such emotionally loaded material was critical. 'I didn't want anyone who thought this was just another gangster movie; these roles come with weight,' Celozzi says. ALLEN FRASER / NOVEMBER 1963 The period cars on set were all locally sourced. 'I was in the room with the actors. I could say, 'No, that's not how he walked. That's not how he looked at you.' And they embraced that.' The star-studded cast includes John Travolta (Pulp Fiction) as Johnny Roselli; Robert Carlyle (The Full Monty) as Jack Ruby; Dermot Mulroney (My Best Friend's Wedding) as Chuckie Nicoletti; Mandy Patinkin (Homeland) as Anthony Accardo; Jefferson White (Yellowstone) as Lee Harvey Oswald; and Thomas Fiscella (The Mysterious Benedict Society) as Sam Giancana. The production team scouted locations in New Orleans and Atlanta before discovering the texture and scale they needed in the Winnipeg. The Exchange District's turn-of-the-century facades are now doubling as Dallas and Chicago circa 1963, complete with vintage signage, authentic period wardrobe and more than 75 classic cars sourced locally. 'It's the only place in North America where you can find eight blocks by eight blocks that look like the 1940s or '50s. The production value is extraordinary. When you see this movie, it will feel like you're standing on the Grassy Knoll in 1963,' DeWalt says. Of course, mounting a project of this scale hasn't been easy. With more than 200 crew members and an estimated 1,500 background actors, it's the largest production ever undertaken by Mind's Eye Entertainment. There's also a strong emotional undercurrent for DeWalt, who still remembers the day Kennedy was shot. 'I was a kid, but I remember the silence in the house, the shock. It was like 9/11 — the world stopped. And to now be helping tell a story that humanizes that moment … it's just a thrill on a human level.' So what will audiences take away? 'I hope they walk out thinking, 'That makes sense.' I'm not trying to control how they feel. I'm just putting the truth in front of them,' DeWalt says. ALLEN FRASER / NOVEMBER 1963 November 1963 is being shot in locations around Winnipeg. Celozzi knows that truth is unsettling. He knows it raises more questions about government complicity, secrecy and power than it answers. He knows there are echoes in today's headlines. But he's not afraid. 'The last person who might've had a problem with this died in 2014. And the rest? They've either gone quiet or given me their blessing,' he says. Weekly A weekly look at what's happening in Winnipeg's arts and entertainment scene. What about his uncles? Would they approve? 'I don't think Sam would be too happy, but I think he knew I'd do it one day,' he says of the Mafia boss, who died in 1975 at age 67 after being shot seven times while in the basement of his home. There are numerous theories and suspects about who killed Giancana and why, but officially his murder remains unsolved. At the end of the day, Celozzi isn't trying to rewrite history, just to correct its tone. To show that the men behind the myths had routines, regrets and love in their lives. That they dressed up for Halloween. That they cried alone after losing a spouse. That they were more than the headlines. 'I'm not saying bad things didn't happen. I'm saying they were human.' arts@ If you value coverage of Manitoba's arts scene, help us do more.

The assassination of a Chicago mob kingpin 50 years ago remains unsolved
On June 20, 1975, Weldon Whisler's phone rang at 1 in the morning. Instead of rolling over and going back to sleep, he answered it. That is the mark of a journeyman reporter. 'Have you got a paper and pencil handy?' the caller asked. 'I'm going home now and to bed, and I will not answer the telephone; no one else will get the information I am giving you for several hours.' Oak Park police had responded to a call for assistance by the crew of Fire Department ambulance 613 at 1147 S. Wenonah Ave. The address might have rung a bell for an old pro like Whisler, who got there so quickly that his account in the morning's Tribune corresponded perfectly with Police Report 75-761. Other news outlets were left scrambling to catch up. 'Gangland boss Sam (Momo) Giancana was found shot to death on the floor of his basement kitchen early Friday morning, Oak Park Police said,' Weldon wrote. 'The onetime chief of the Chicago syndicate was found lying face up with four or five bullet wounds in his head, police said. Six .22 caliber bullets were lying around the body.' The police report noted that 'a frying pan on the right rear burner of the stove that was to the right of the victim contained food that was still warm.' It looked like he'd been frying up a late-night snack before someone shot him. He had been on a restricted diet, recovering from gall bladder surgery. Francine, his youngest daughter, brought him the ingredients of his favorite dish: sausage, escarole, and ceci beans. About 10 p.m., a squad of Chicago police officers keeping Giancana under surveillance saw some guests, who were apparently at the house to welcome him home from a Houston hospital, leave. Joe DiPersio, Momo's caretaker, went upstairs, having told his boss to call if he needed anything. Thirty minutes later, DiPersio came downstairs to check on Giancana. Someone had either arrived, or doubled back. Giancana was lying in a pool of blood in the basement kitchen. DiPersilio and his wife told the cops they didn't hear any shots. When the police asked if the basement door was locked, DiPersilio replied that the door was never locked. Nothing was missing from Giancana's elegantly furnished home. His wallet was found near his body, and a money clip holding more than $1,458 was in his pocket, the Tribune reported. So it seemed the killer's only motive was to to seal the victim's lips before he blabbed about something that someone didn't want to be publicly known. The generally accepted theory on Giancana's murder is that he was killed by one of his Outfit cronies to keep him quiet. Giancana was scheduled to testify before the Church Committee, a congressional investigation of rumored links between the CIA and gangsters. Giancana had risen from a juvenile delinquent to the Outfit's upper echelon. As an adolescent, Giancana belonged to a Taylor Street gang that took its name from the story 'Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves.' Thinking themselves even better thieves, they dubbed their gang 'The 42.' Graduating into the mob, he earned his spurs by making Theodore Roe an offer he couldn't refuse. Roe, an African American mobster, ran a policy wheel that offered prize money to players who picked the right sequence of random numbers. He kidnapped Roe and demanded a $100,000 ransom. It was paid, but Roe refused to surrender his business. On Aug. 4, 1952, Roe was shot to death while sitting outside his South Michigan Avenue mansion. In 1965, Giancana was subpoenaed by a federal grand jury. Despite a grant of immunity, he refused to answer questions, citing the Fifth Amendment. He was convicted of contempt and served a year in prison. Hoping to lie low, he fled to Mexico. But the U.S. pressured Mexican officials to deport him, and in 1974, he was back in town. William Roemer, an FBI agent who made his name fighting the mob, was shocked when he saw Giancana arrive back in Chicago from Mexico. 'He was undoubtedly the wealthiest person on the plane, but he looked like some Italian immigrant landing at Ellis Island, destitute and frail,' recalled Roemer. Theories about his assassination fall into two groups. One is local and sees his death in the context of mob practices. A wide-angle view places Momo in the context of international affairs. The latter turns on the government's fear that Fidel Castro had given communism a New World foothold in Cuba. President John Kennedy hoped to get rid of Castro by a double-barreled means: an invasion by Castro's exiled opponents, accompanied by his murder. The plot's details were subsequently revealed in the CIA's self-study of questionable tactics. The CIA needed someone experienced in quietly getting rid of enemies. Momo's rap sheet matched the job description. Could his murder be Castro's payback for signing on to a planned assassination of the Cuban dictator? The case remains unsolved. Giancana's nickname 'Momo' was shorthand for Mooney, or madman. 'He has a constitutional psychopathic state,' a draft board found in 1943. 'He has an inadequate personality and strong anti-social trends.' He'd told the board he made his living stealing: 'They thought I was crazy. But I wasn't. I was telling the truth.'

'Operation Family Secrets': Former Chicago mobster reflects on life after testifying against his father
The Brief April marks 20 years since the FBI brought charges against 14 Chicago mob figures in "Operation Family Secrets," cracking open decades of unsolved murders. Key testimony came from Frank Calabrese Jr., who secretly recorded conversations with his father, mob hitman Frank Calabrese Sr. The trial resulted in life sentences for multiple top mobsters and severely weakened the Chicago Outfit's grip on organized crime. CHICAGO - It has been called the most important mob prosecution in U.S. history. Twenty years ago this month, the federal government filed charges against more than a dozen top leaders of the Chicago mob, Outfit. It involved nearly two dozen murders that had gone unsolved for decades. They called the case "Operation Family Secrets." On Tuesday, FOX 32's Dane Placko talked to the ex-mobster who wore a wire against his father and triggered the FBI investigation. Tonight, we look back at the historic trial and its aftermath. "I know I had to finish what I started. Because if he gets on the street, I'm done or he's dead. And one of us is locked up forever," said Frank Calabrese Jr. The backstory In April 2005, following a seven-year investigation and the surprise cooperation of Frank Calabrese Jr. and his uncle, mob hitman Nick Calabrese, federal prosecutors filed a 43-page racketeering indictment against 14 Chicago mobsters and associates responsible for 18 murders going back to the 1960s. Calabrese Jr. says he doesn't regret wearing a wire on his father. "The hardest thing I ever did in my life. I loved my dad. I did not love his ways, but it's my father," he said. In addition to his father, Frank Calabrese Sr., the feds charged top Outfit leaders James "Little Jimmy" Marcello, Paul "The Indian" Schiro, and Joey "The Clown" Lombardo, who disappeared as the indictment was filed before being discovered hiding in a basement in Elmwood Park several months later. "It was by far the most committed team I've ever had the opportunity and the privilege working with," said Markus Funk. Funk was part of the "dream team" of federal prosecutors at the 2007 trial, which featured a colorful cast of defendants, witnesses and defense attorneys. "I mean, every day, things expected and unexpected happened," Funk said. "It was drama filled. I mean, every day. And we were always aware that the public was there in large part to see the mobsters, right?" At one point, as Funk grilled Calabrese Sr. on the witness stand, jurors heard the mobster whisper that Funk was a dead man. "I think the legacy of the trial is, in part, that it was the first time in Chicago we ever had a made member of the mob convicted of murder. And in fact, we had many murders," Funk said. Dig deeper The trial lasted nearly two months, with prosecutors calling 125 witnesses and presenting over 200 pieces of evidence. And with the smoking gun first-hand testimony of star witnesses Calabrese Jr. and Nick Calabrese, the jury returned guilty counts on all charges, sending Calabrese Sr., Lombardo and Marcello to prison for life. "I think that's the legacy of this case, to not only take down the entire organization, but also to remember that there's victims. And those victims' families, they will live with this forever," said Michael Maseth, a former Chicago FBI agent. Those victims' families also received restitution after the FBI found $1.7 million in stolen loot hidden behind a family portrait in the basement of Calabrese Sr.'s Oak Brook home. Both Calabrese Sr. and Lombardo have since died behind bars. Marcello is now 81 and remains at the federal supermax prison in Colorado. Schiro was released from federal custody in 2022. As for Nick Calabrese, despite 14 murders, he received a short sentence in return for his cooperation and spent his final years a free man. "He did pass on a couple years ago, naturally, with his family. So he had a heavy heart. He had a hard time sleeping at night. He had some ailments that were caused by the stress of it and what you've done," said Calabrese Jr. "The victims were very upset with the sentence that Nick got and the fact he died a free man," Funk added. "He lived up to every part of his deal. He testified to dozens of criminal acts and murders the government had no idea about, frankly, before he began talking. And so, he did what we expected and more and we held up to our side of the deal." Local perspective "As far as I'm concerned, the Chicago Outfit still exists, but it's a very reduced form of what it once was," said John Binder. Binder, a Chicago mobologist, says the Outfit was badly damaged by Family Secrets but also by the fact the government has legalized much of their old business model: bookmaking, gambling, loan-sharking and drugs. "Basically, legalization has been killing them. So much of what they did for years and liked to do because it's profitable has gone away because they've legalized any number of things," Binder said. "Kind of crazy, payday loans. That was one of our biggest things, loan-sharking. The only difference now is there's no violence. But you sign your life over so they just take it from you the easy way," Calabrese Jr. So, is the Chicago Outfit still alive? "There's certainly evidence that the mob is not even close to full strength anymore in the way that they once were. But they also are not dead. In other words, the story of the mob demise is premature and they're still very much active," Funk said. What's next "Operation Family Secrets" was the most successful mob trial in Chicago's history. Now, two decades after the case that brought down the mob's old guard, Calabrese Jr. spends much of his time in Las Vegas, telling his spellbinding life story as a lecturer at the Mob Museum. We asked Calabrese Jr. after 20 years, why does he think people are still fascinated by this story? "I speak to a lot of people, and there's a lot, because this is a family story, Dane. It's not about me getting up and telling you who got killed, who ordered it, who's the boss. This is about what this life does to your family. And at the museum here, I think I found my niche and it's going great," Calabrese Jr. responded. "And you know who I answer to today? My two kids and my grandson. That's my life now." There have been books written about the "Family Secrets" case, but remarkably, given the Shakespearean family drama at the center of the story, there hasn't yet been a movie. Calabrese Jr. said there's still plenty of interest and that he hopes to be able to make an announcement soon. The Source For this story, FOX 32 Chicago interviewed several key players from this historic trial. Those included a witness who is the son of one of the defendants, an FBI special agent who was originally assigned to the case and one of the federal prosecutors who tried the case.
