Andrew Champagne

Andrew Champagne is an award-winning writer, content producer, and handicapper. His career has taken him across the country to work for outlets such as TVG (now FanDuel TV), The Daily Racing Form, and entities in the sports betting/iGaming space. You can now find his sports and horse racing picks here at Wizard Sports.

Most recently, Andrew was a Senior Editor for Raketech at properties such as Winners and Whiners and StatSalt, where he contributed picks and videos on top of a full-time job maximizing the exposure of content on those sites. He also worked as a Content Manager at Catena Media, where he covered complex sports betting and casino news across a variety of states.

Andrew is one of the most prominent horse racing handicappers in the country, especially when it comes to his native Saratoga Race Course, where he serves as the featured handicapper in The Pink Sheet. His 142 top-pick winners in the summer of 2021 set an all-media record. His accomplishments also include the selection of 59-1 longshot Lord Miles in the 2023 Wood Memorial, picking 15-1 shot Oxbow in the 2013 Preakness Stakes, and correctly selecting eight of the last nine winners on Travers Day in 2025.

Originally from upstate New York, Andrew now resides in Northern California's Bay Area with his wife. You can often find him preparing for a trip to Las Vegas, bowling reasonably well, golfing incredibly poorly, or making friends and loved ones groan with a unique assortment of "dad jokes."
