Personal
favorite food is pizza, and in high school was a pizza delivery boy for one day…when he’s not racing, he likes to get out of the house and do something active…has been scuba diving and skydiving…has a pet Weimaraner…first car was a Dodge Intrepid…greatest racing experience was the Blue Chip Matchmaker Final…is motivated by doing what he loves for a living, and not having to sit behind a desk …favorite TV show is Family Guy…has read almost all of the Dan Brown books… “Son of longtime horseman David Stratton…Calls his father “the biggest and greatest influence on my life and my career” while crediting Claude Huckabone III and Bruce Aldrich Jr. as trainers that also helped him”… “his father was so excited he jumped a ditch to get to the winner’s circle for his first win (behind Noble Cam, a horse he had also groomed)”
