Meet Gary Quill
I am the
most passionate person on the planet when it comes to thoroughbred horse
racing! One sunny summer day in 1964 at Timonium Race Track is where my Dad and
mentor introduced me to “The Sport of Kings”. Since that day, I have had the
pleasure to visit over 40 different tracks across North
America. Though an IT professional by trade, I’ve had a part-time
gig with the Maryland Jockey Club since 1988.
There are
thousands of rail-birds who claim to be great handicappers. Well, I don’t claim
to be the best… just the most passionate and one that won’t tout “chalk”. Like
a savvy stock broker, I look for value and often find it. Unlike the talking
heads on horse racing television networks and the dozens of websites featuring
handicapper’s opinions, I’m ACCOUNTABLE. That is, good or bad, you’ll always know
how my previously posted picks performed along with a running record of my BEST
BET and LONGSHOT Play of the Day selections for Maryland tracks (Laurel and Pimlico) at TheRacingBiz, see "The GQ Approach".
In addition
to focusing on the Maryland
thoroughbred racing circuit, each year I follow the Derby Trail and post “GQ’s Derby Double Dozen” in early
February.
My personal
mission is to rejuvenate interest in thoroughbred horse racing. Being able to
share my energy, thoughts and opinions on this sport via HRN will certainly
help the cause.
