Michael J. Haskett started his career as a bush pilot flying in Canada´s Arctic. After a number of years flying commercially, he followed his entrepreneurial spirit and turned in his wings to become a full-time business owner. Over the past 3 decades he has established an extensive and varied sports and business background. For many years he has also been a fan of horse racing, provided that a reasonable financial return can be earned in addition to the pleasure of seeing magnificent animals race. For almost as many years as a fan he has been able to keep his numbers in the black column. The author has personally bet at tracks in many countries, and now on the internet bets regularly at tracks in more than 18 countries. In addition to his duties/pleasures with the ponies, the author has developed, owned and operated a number of successful companies, was a business consultant for small to mid-size businesses, published information books and business documents ranging from web sites to extensive company operations manuals, and wrote (and marketed) a bestselling novel.
