About Us
Jeff Siegel
Jeff Siegel, from The Racing Edition is currently active on several fronts in the thoroughbred industry. He has published daily race-horse selections in several Southern California newspapers for more than 30 years. In addition to his daily handicapping chores, Siegel currently works as a racing analyst for HRTV, a 24-hour national horse racing station available on DISH network and various cable systems around the country. Siegel also was co-owner of Team Valor, North America's leading thoroughbred partnership stable whose runners since its inception in 1987 have earned in excess of $35 million. Siegel entered the thoroughbred industry soon after graduating from California State University Northridge in 1974 with a degree in broadcast journalism. He worked in the publicity department at Hollywood Park in the mid 1970's before becoming a syndicated newspaper handicapper for papers such as the Los Angeles Times, Los Angeles Daily News, Orange County Register and the San Diego Union Tribune. Additionally, in 1975 Siegel co-founded Handicapper's Report, an innovative bi-weekly publication that provided speed figures, trip notes and private clocker information to Southern California horseplayers. He also served as a private bloodstock adviser and was instrumental in the claim for $32,000 of Wishing Well, who developed into one of the nation's premier distaff turf runners in the early 1980's and subsequently produced Horse of the Year Sunday Silence. Along with Jack Karlik, Siegel also co-bred and raced Aloha Prospector, voted champion 3-year-old in California in 1988.
Mike Superstein
Syndicated handicapper Mike Superstein brings a unique perspective to his selections, having spent his entire adult life in the Thoroughbred industry. While attending San Diego State University, Superstein worked as an intern at Del Mar in 1976. After graduating, he became assistant Publicity Director at Golden Gate Fields in 1977. Later that year, he accepted a position at Oak Tree and Santa Anita Park in the publicity department. When longtime handicapping icon Ernie Mason retired in 1983, Superstein took over his syndication. Superstein's selections have appeared over the years in such publications as The Daily News, South Bay Daily Breeze, Orange County Register, San Diego Union-Tribune, Pasadena Star News, North County Times and Long Beach Press-Telegram. Superstein has been the leading public handicapper numerous times and was particularly hot in 2008 and 2009, capturing five consecutive titles. He also became the first Southern California newspaper handicapper to sweep the card, a feat he has now accomplished three times. He once selected 13 straight winners over a three-day period. Superstein resides in Torrance, California.
