Think of the Dougherty Digit as the ultimate grade or test score for these racing professionals.

The digit is based on $2 win pays, number of rides and W%.

Gary Dougherty

FOUNDER

Gary Dougherty, a fervent devotee of Thoroughbred racing, has been immersed in the world of horse racing since his early days. His passion ignited in 1979 when he began frequenting Longacres, a now-shuttered racetrack located south of Seattle that holds a special place in the hearts of many racing enthusiasts. Since then, his journey has led him to explore and experience numerous racetracks spanning across the country, allowing him to amass a wealth of knowledge and insights into the sport.

Dougherty’s remarkable career in the realm of horse racing analysis saw him serve as the Emerald Downs handicapper at The Seattle Times for an impressive 16-year tenure, from 1996 to 2011. During his tenure, he demonstrated an unparalleled understanding of the intricacies of handicapping, providing readers with astute observations, expert analysis, and invaluable tips that resonated with both seasoned bettors and newcomers to the sport alike.

Dougherty has done work for the Breeders’ Cup, The Blood-Horse and currently is on the panel that votes weekly for the Jockey of the Week. The weekly award recognizes jockeys for riding accomplishments and who are members of the Jockeys’ Guild, the organization which represents more than 1,050 active, retired and permanently disabled jockeys in the United States.

When John Velazquez broke the all-time record for most Graded Stakes victories, Gary was the one to send out the big news on Twitter and that information was picked up by numerous news companies across the world including the AP story.
