Carl got interested in the business when his friend, Joe Ruggeri, starting racing Miss Sacandaga. Carl started helping Joe and then bought his first horse, Miss Muldoon. Carl started working for Dick DeSantis in 1965, and has spent all his years at Saratoga. Carl’s best horse is Little Nicholas and his favorites were Del Perry and Rapid Rikki.

Carl received the Peerless McGrath Award in 2006. This is an award for Up-and-Coming Trainer, but as 2006 proved to be an excellent year for Carl, he was recognized for this accomplishment. Carl attributed a lot of his success to the help of Earl Bean and Jim Martuscella.

Carl’s first win was with Jacks Goldie at Saratoga Raceway.

Carl garnered the USHWA 2008 Filly and Mare Claiming Pacer of the Year award with Hanover Sal N (22—10-5-0 $35,905). On his off-time from the track, Carl enjoys hunting and fishing.
