A letter from the author (the real author), of "Harness The Winning"

[Tuttleshak]

Hello to All,


My name is Joseph J Tuttle. I've written 14 total books; currently
selling on Amazon.com. Here are my "qualifications"/ "Bio".....



Hello, my name is Joseph J Tuttle, and I'm 38 years old. At the ripe
old age of ten, the Sun-Sentinel (a Florida based newspaper), did a
story about me called..."Does Joey know the score....Do ya wanna to
bet?" I've been a horseplayer ever since I was about 12 years old, so
that gives me over a quarter of a century's worth of experience. My
Father (Seymour Tuttle) was an owner, trainer, and driver of harness
horses. He also dabbled a bit in the thoroughbred game. My Father was
truly my hero, and this book is certainly dedicated to his memory. My
Father passed away suddenly on June 20th 2005. He was 83 years young.


But, over the better part of a 25-year period, he taught me almost
everything there is to know about the care and training of any kind of
racehorse. It was for about five of those 25 years, that I actually
worked as a groom/2nd trainer. He also taught me almost everything I
know about handicapping the races. He once said to me..."I can
handicap a race better than guys can "fix" it!" I believed him then,
and I think he has passed that trait onto me. What my Father meant by
that statement was that having a horsemen's perspective on things is a
totally invaluable asset to have, when handicapping a race. And, it is
that (a Horsemen's perspective in/on handicapping horse races), I plan
on giving to you the reader.



In writing this book, I've made a very concerted effort to try and
incorporate as much pertinent horsemanship knowledge into many of the
chapters, as a way to better serve the novice, average, or below
average horseplayer. I truly believe that after reading this book, you
will immediately come away with a better sense of yourself (as a
horseplayer), and will soon realize where exactly it is you want to be
as a horseplayer. You may come to the realization that you're always
going to be just a recreational horseplayer, in the world of
handicapping the races. Or, you might have a wonderful epiphany and
realize that maybe you too can become a more successful horseplayer.
Maybe, a "professional"!

When I first decided to start writing this, it was on the
encouragement of many different family members, and my wonderful
girlfriend Jenny Lynn. So, here it is and I hope it helps educate you
a little more, so that your next experience at the track will also be
a winning one.


p.s. Yes it's true, that I suffer from CP in my left hand & arm. Yet,
I've NEVER allowed it to stop me from doing ANYTHING!!! And, for
those of you that have been hooked-up to a race bike, and have gone a
28.3 final 1/4 (in a warm-up or a race), so have I!
