Our History
The Racing Dispatch started in December of 2006 as a way for a few diehard racing fans to spread their passion for thoroughbred horse racing. In less than 2 years it has expanded into an empire of blogs, stories, perspectives and more. The most comprehensive coverage from Dubai starts at The Dispatch, race-day blogs, handicapping, insight, profiles - it can all be found here. In 2007, The Racing Dispatch launched The Dispatch Derby Poll, the most comprehensive poll for America's greatest horse race.

Nick Tammaro - E-Mail Pat
Nick Tammaro has led The Racing Dispatch’s handicapping efforts. His well-received “Horse du Jour” features, selecting one horse per card at an entire meet, have led to positive ROI during its two editions, the 2007 Saratoga meeting and the 2007 Keeneland fall meeting. Nick’s Breeders’ Cup handicapping selections led to an 80% return. He also handicaps NYRA races for Capital OTB.
