Unlike many athletes, Charles Barkley comes to mind, you don't see Yankee closer Mariano Rivera hawking many products. You can add to his portfolio a new restaurant with a local horse racing flavor.

Welcome to Siro's-pronounced (seer-ohs) a new midtown eatery in Manhatten due to open next month. The Hammer of God as I like to call Rivera is part of a group of investors who are opening up this Horse racing themed eatery. Not just any horses or theme mind you but after 1 of the crown jewels of racing, Saratoga Springs. The original Siros is adjacent to Saratoga Race Course in the Capital Region.

Rivera is part of a group of investors that also includes Kevin Connolly and Kevin Dillon who star in Entourage.

Rivera, the all time saves leader will "open'  the new place hosting a private party this coming Thursday after the Yanks return from Texas and enjoy an off day before hosting the Detroit Tigers over the weekend.
