About

I am writing a blog to document my quest to purchase a successful race horse.

Please forgive the grammar and spelling errors, I am a terrible proofreader.

My name is Gregg Jahnke. I live in suburban Dallas, Texas.

I retired from the investment business in 2008. I was a founding director of the Prudent Bear Funds in 1995. My career was dedicated to doing independent investment research that seldom agreed with Wall Street.

For ten years my business partners and I published the best selling study materials for the CFA Exam (JKE Exam Review).

My undergraduate degree is in Accounting and Finance is from the University of Wisconsin in 1980. I have an MBA from TCU in 1984.

I was a serious card-counting blackjack player until Lone Star Park was built in 1997. Then I became a horse race handicapper, with a focus on pick-6’s. My friends campaigned the very successful filly Biogio’s Rose, so I was able to learn horse racing from an owner’s perspective.

I am a competitive fantasy baseball player in the NFBC, and occasional competitive chess player (USCF 1600). I was attempting to write a blog about understanding sports gambling strategies, until the pandemic came along.

I am not writing this blog to become some kind of internet personality. This is an educational exercise. You could just get the name of a reputable bloodstock agent, and have them pick out a horse for you. It is exactly the same as calling a Merrill Lynch broker for a stock idea. I think it might be more interesting to learn to do it yourself.
