Description:
For a professional racehorse trainer, Ray Handal is pretty young. He’s 27 years old and has only been training on his own for about two years. Needless to say, Handal opened some eyes when he won at Saratoga Race Course — not once, but twice.
He got on the board, winning his first ever race at Saratoga on Aug. 18, with a horse named Winter Springs. Then, on Sept. 3, Handal pulled a shocker in winning his second race of the meet (from only five starters) with 13.50-1 longshot Gentrify.
