About Me





I have been asked by a few people about myself (what I like, who I am, etc.) so I thought I'd add this little page here. My name is Dennis Sanford, and I am 28 years old, living in Woodlynne, New Jersey (a SMALL town RIGHT outside Philadelphia). I began to follow racing when I was about 7 years old. My dad used to goto the track, and one night I asked him if I could go. I live almost within walking distance of the now defunct Garden State Park, and my dad would go on Friday and Saturday nights. He took me one Saturday night. I started out watching the thoroughbreds, as that is what my dad primarily bet. I remember betting a horse at Atlantic City Racetrack (Simulcast) called Open Shop. He was 99-1. I asked my dad to bet $2 to Place on him. Of course, he laughed and told me I was crazy. But he made the bet. Well, Open Shop finished 2nd, and paid $169.60 to Place. I was hooked. However, as fun as it was, the horses pulling the carts were catching my eye. I started watching them more, and began betting them. I became a fan of Harness Racing.

I started to follow the horses, drivers, & trainers, and started memorizing them all. I still do to this day, and Harness Racing is undoubtedly my favorite pasttime. I still attend the races every Saturday and Sunday night. But I enjoy live racing much more. I really enjoy travelling to see Racetracks I haven't been to. I have been to over 50 Racetracks, ranging from Canada down thru Virginia, over to the midwest thru Ohio, and on thru Illinois. From top of the line, 5-star tracks to the quaint, atmospheric Fairs. I enjoy the racing; following the horses, drivers, trainers, stats...all of it.

That's a small part of who I am. If you'd like to know more, feel free to contact me anytime by the e-mail link on the front page, my Facebook page here or my MySpace page here. You can also usually find me at Harrah's Chester Racetrack on Saturday nights or Sunday afternoons during live racing!
