I hit some good tax numbers in the day. It was after many, many years of losing. My handicapping became good & I held my own.

Mostly just a fan and small time bettor from 1966 to 1977.  From 1977 to 2007 I owned part of a few real good ones, a lot of "OK" ones and a few not so good ones.  Breeder of record on a few decent ones.  Bailed when Illinois racing started to decline so I actually made a profit owning.  Back to being a fan and small time gambler since 2007.  Lots of fun, few regrets.  tmbz1

As an owner won a Late Closing Final at the Meadowlands.  2nd both heats in the Confederation Cup when it was for 3 year olds. As a consultant published a statistical study of the relationship between yearling sales and performance by Sire, Dam etc.  My customers included Fred Hertrich the first couple years he started breeding. 

And Luc nominated me for poster of the year last year  ngc3 ngc3 ngc3

accomplished: got out. as soon as I could after claiming a dozen and having a very good three months.  the trainer/driver's wife said to me one night in the winners circle at the track during that third month "that owners were not supposed to make money."  took note of that honesty and got the hell out within 3 weeks
