Player Bio
Auditor retired from Defense Finance and Accounting Service in Cleveland, Ohio. Born in Youngstown, Ohio and first track experience was Waterford Park in 1965. Immediately fell in love with the track and handicapping but it did not become my obsessive passion until 1978 when I moved to Cleveland and went to Thistledown almost every weekend. First tournament experience was the World Series of Handicapping at Penn National. Had some major exotic hits, most notably the 1998 or 1999 Breeders Cup Pic-6 when "Awesome Again" won the Classic. My bucket list goal is to make it to the NHC in Vegas a second time.
