Very nice man, gone way too young, used to be on the Capital OTB show from Saratoga during the summer meet! Loved his book Blinkers Off

Very sorry to hear of Cary's passing. He was a vocal advocate for racing and betting and a man of many interest. RIP Cary.

Great handicapper & great guy too! Enjoyed speaking with him several years ago when I purchased one of his products for Delta Jackpot card.

I had minor issue with download and called 800 number. He answered and fixed situation. Tossed in another promo product for me, too. Best part, he & I talked about Delta Downs & Jackpot card for about 20 minutes.

RIP Cary - the thoroughbred community will miss you.

Not too many true "race trackers" left. First we lose "Beef" way too soon and now Cary
RIP Cary

Gone too soon. This guy was smart. I have the Racing Form symposium DVDs from Vegas (I forget which year) and he was very good at explaining handicapping rationale on those. Would have liked to have met him.
