I have since moved to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania but still have many connections back to Kentucky, particularly in May.

I began handicapping horses when I was about 15. I began handicapping them well when I was about 18. I have done quite well over the years and have come to believe that I know what to look for in the racing form.

I have a masters degree in computer systems management. I have always enjoyed computer programming and my occupation is in Information Technology.  The program I designed and use is called Handicapper Pro and it is on its seventh revision. I wrote the original model for a final project while completing my MBA. Even in its original form, the computer model surpassed even my expectations in its ability to evaluate a horse race.

Even as the program was being written, I was skeptical of it's ultimate effectiveness.  My program has bad days, just like I do without it, but over the long run, it is a solid side kick to have around and look to for "advice."

I have a real job which I like very much and which demands a lot of my time. I find time to run this site because I like it so much. Because it is computer-based, I can manage it in a fairly short amount of time and still find time for my other interests.

I drop in on the forum quite frequently.  If my opinions on horseracing or handicapping or computers interests you, please join me and all the regulars on the forum.
