To help facilitate more trading of stallion shares and seasons on Matchmaker, we started to provide European stakes results on our closed-end computer system delivered over modems.

I partnered first with Dick Broadbent and the weekly Thoroughbred Times, and then Peter Brant and the Thoroughbred Record. When the ACRS ended, and I was looking for my next project, I bought out Peter and shortly thereafter moved the TDN to New Jersey where Sue Finley had joined my team during ACRS and decided to stay on.
