Matt Rosiek discovered his version of the “good book” at an early age. It wasn’t the Bible, but it did help show him the way. “I’ve studied the trainer’s book since I was eight years old,” Rosiek said. “My grandfather gave it to me, and I don’t know how many times I’ve read that from front to back.” The more times he read it, the more he wanted to be a Standardbred trainer. Matt’s dream came true at age 29 when he got his training license earlier this year, followed by his first training win March 22 with Treasurethosechips at Buffalo Raceway.
