I was born in Arlington Heights IL not far from Arlington Park &  grew up in the Chicago-land area.  I'm a die-hard Chicago sports fan .  If I'm not watching horse racing I'm watching Blackhawk hockey or Chicago Bears football.  I'm currently residing in the Florida Keys where I occasionally try to catch some fish & go snorkeling.  I've been a huge horse racing fan from the first time I saw Cigar over 15 years ago.  Just started  writing about my experiences at the track & generally anything that inspires me to write about horse racing.  If you like my stuff or have any advice for me, feel free to contact me.  Thank you so much for checking out my site!
