Thoroughbred Times News Editor Ed DeRosa shares his experience covering the top events in Thoroughbred racing
Ed began attending the races with his grandfather at Thistledown near Cleveland, though the first bet he actually remembers making occurred on dog racing at Wheeling Downs in 1986. He hit place wagers on seven of ten races and won enough to buy the Speak N Spell/Speak N Math combo pack. He stuck with win-place wagers until 1997 when he discovered the pick three. A graduate of Denison University, Ed joined Thoroughbred Times as a staff writer in May 2002. He won the Bill Leggett Award for magazine writing for his story on the 2005 Breeders’ Cup Mile. His favorite horse is Real Quiet.
