George Elliot
Home: Milford, Conn.
Age: 51
Occupation: Plumbing contractor
Road to the Finals: Won $53,000 for finishing first in Autotote's Sports Haven Handicapping Challenge on Feb. 7-8.
Bio: Was introduced to horseracing by his childhood friend John Angelo, who makes picks for the Glen Falls Post Star. His $53,000 first-place prize in the Sports Haven qualifying event easily eclipsed his other top scores up until that point, which were a pair of exactas paying off around $3,000 apiece. George is primarily a fan of live racing, and has passed along his passion to his future son-in-law.
