I’m deeply grateful for horse racing.

It’s helped me trust my intuition, confront fear, accelerate my professional growth, travel with purpose, and build meaningful relationships. Along the way: new friends, real excitement, life lessons—and a great excuse to wear a tie.

17 tracks. 5 countries. 6 states.

USA. Brazil. Mexico. Argentina. Chile.

And every time I step onto a racetrack, I’m reminded this is where I belong. The competition, the fashion, the food, the sport—it’s everything the world should be.

I’ve qualified for the National Horseplayers Championship four times and competed in the sport’s largest betting contests, including Breeders’ Cup events. The early years were humbling, but perseverance led to steady improvement and decisive moments that mattered.

Here I share notes from the tracks I’ve visited—bets made, lessons learned, and perspectives gained.
