Started Playing:
| Age 31. I wanted a new challenge. Trading options, stocks and futures since 1984. |
Handicapping Mentor(s):
| "Payoff" written in 70's pointed out the importance of last race form and how it gave clues to horse condition and trainer intent. |
Handicapping Style:
| Pace to determine if lead will be contested and if speed will get cooked. Contrarian by nature so I like a horse with a somewhat sordid past to get a price. |
