Bruce Battaglia - OUR LEAD HANDICAPPER began handicapping professionally in 1970, making the morning line odds for River Downs located near Cincinnati, Ohio. He was soon hired by many of the Kentucky tracks, such as Keeneland, Churchill Downs, Ellis Park and Turfway Park to create the morning line odds for their track programs. He also produced the morning line odds for Arlington Park from 1975 until 1985. Bruce was the featured horse racing handicapper for the Louisville Courier Journal and the Cincinnati Post. He has been a professional odds maker and handicapper all of his adult life.

Tom Battaglia- Handicaper, web master- WHILE OTHER KIDS MY AGE WERE LEARNING HOW TO RIDE A BIKE OR THROW A FOOTBALL, I WAS LEARNING HOW TO READ THE DAILY RACING FORM. I WAS LEARNING ABOUT CLASS,SPEED,CONDITIONS AND TRACK BIAS. WHEN HIGH SCHOOL CAME AROUND THE OTHER GUYS WERE GETTING ODD JOBS FLIPPING BURGERS OR WHATEVER THEY COULD FIND, NOT ME! I WAS ALWAYS AT THE TRACK WATCHING, GAMBLING AND LEARNING. I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED THE SPORT OF KINGS AND DEVOTED THE BETTER PART OF MY LIFE LEARING ALL I CAN ABOUT THE SPORT. I EVEN WORKED FOR FREE ON THE BACKSIDE SO I COULD LEARN HOW THE TRAINERS GET THEIR HORSES READY FOR THE RACES.
