About the Swami

The Swami of the Spa is the nom de plume of Mark Perkins, racing aficionado and writer. Mark has been handicapping horses for over a decade, having been fortunate enough to grow up near “The Spa,” Saratoga Race Course. A student of the game, Mark uses all the tools at his disposal in the quest to identify not just the most probable winner, but also the entrants who could prevail in a given race—an increasingly important skill in the age of value-laden exotic wagering opportunities like the Pick 3 and Pick 4.
