Recent Breeder.  I’ve tried a few different stallions, in State, out of state, even tried a French and Swedish stallion. 
   I once inquired about a stallions services and they told me they could just ship the Seman…..what’s the world coming to.

Currently own 5% of a 2 year old Minnesota bred that is getting ready to qualify at Running Aces in a few weeks.  I had another one in 2024-25 that didn't pan out due to throat issues that surgery didn't fix.  Prior to that, my first horse as a licensed owner was in 2017-18 at The Meadows, won 6 of 13 and nearly 30k starting at the nw1 level before we sold.

Outside of those 3, I used to partake in Running Aces 1% fractional ownership group from 2015-23 just for fun since it was fun, very affordable and got my foot in the door to make connections.

Please check the following:

Current owner

Recent breeder

Past owner

Never an owner

Please say where you currently/have raced in the past.

I'll start.

Current owner.  Currently racing Saratoga harness.  A mare on the Sunday card,  A 3 year old NYSS potential stakes horse and a 2 year old in final preparations for 2026. 

Past tracks-A few starts at Tioga, Vernon, too many at Saratoga, a few starts at Monticello, a handful of starts at Yonkers and the Meadowlands, Plainridge, and where I started--Pompano Park RIP

Only bred 1 horse about 15 years ago!  My first horse--a mare by Big Towner!
You were there when I owned the four cheapies at Pompano Park. While your homebred was making money, me and my partners were busy paying bills and losing money. LOL! But I do have great memories of that time. Sitting around the barn noshing fresh marinated mozzarella balls from Del Preste Market with Georgie Nap, Joe Pavia Jr. and Billy Palmer. Great fun.

I never owned or trained just gambled, and not very good at that.
