I grew up and been around horses and the race track all my life. I would read the Daily Racing Form or the Mourning Telegraph after my Dad was done with them. I got my first license at age 15 at old Tropical Park, my first owners license in the mid seventies while in college and my trainers license in 1981. Won my first race in May of that year at Hialeah Park which to this day is my favorite race track.
I've raced around in Florida during the winters and in the East, northeast and the Midwest in the summer. My biggest win as a trainer came on the under card of Ferdinands 1986 derby win. We won the WHAS Stake which was for two year olds. Made a little score that day too.
I no longer train but follow the races daily. I'm a Daily Racing Form guy and use the charts which I download and save from several tracks and am big into pedigree books and handicapping also. My selections will be from tracks I follow and my spot plays will be from certain types of races I feel I am strong at and have a strong opinion on.
