One of the best when the money was down. Got to know him pretty good when he raced at M1 in the late 70's. He had a horse named Cardinal Sin A. Carmen made a ton with him.

Carmen Alessi to 60K out of the windows at the Meadowlands with a trotter named Black Label 1979 remember like it was yesterday. He was a character he took a lot of money out of Sportsman Park.

I remember sitting in the clubhouse at Hawthorne with his sister Terri and her husband, Don Ranachowski. He was the trainer on many horses Carmen drove!!  I don't think he was too sharp as a trainer!!
