Mark Fisher
Home: Harrison, NY
Age: 60
Occupation: Attorney.
Road to the Finals: Finished fourth in the Belmont Park Handicapping Challenge on June 21-22.
Bio: Made his first wager on Easter vacation when he went to Laurel with his dad when he was 10. Started as a fan of harness racing but has come to like thoroughbreds and now enjoys going to the track with his two sons. For his 60 birthday present his children bought him an entry into the Belmont qualifying contest in June, and he finished fourth and qualified for the National Handicapping Championship. As a thank you, he will be taking his two sons with him on his trip to Las Vegas.
