Growing up in the Albany area, some of my earliest memories are times spent at Saratoga. At some point, I got a program and $2 per race budget. Still remember the first DD I hit. Think both horses had "Irish" in the name...

Had some seriously unexplainable success in Jr. High / Highschool playing Yonkers and NY Circuit Flats when I barely knew my ass from my elbow. Like many, this "beginners luck" or whatever it was really raised my interest level.

Went to college, met a girl whose Dad was a harness owner. Married her of course and that is what really got me interested in the ownership stuff. Figured it was years off till DT Stables rolled around....

Currently engrossed with puzzle described well above. Learning to study more and play less..

As a bean counter, finance guy and general oddball, horseracing just suits me...
