Anthony Quartarolo

Machismo’s trainer, Anthony Quartarolo, trained Standardbreds before he became involved with Thoroughbreds. He began his career as an assistant at Roosevelt Raceway on Long Island in the 1960s, moving to California in the mid-1970s to continue to train and drive.

In the 1980s Quartarolo returned to the East Coast and launched his most successful decade of Standardbred racing. His trainee Speed Merchant trotted his way to nearly $500,000 in earnings, winning several stakes at Roosevelt, Freehold, the Meadowlands and elsewhere in 1984 and setting a track record at Roosevelt.
