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.
