Shults ready to roll at Big M
At 2h19, on March 2, 2024 • By Ken Weingartner, USTA Media Relations Manager
Michael Shults was fascinated by horses at an early age – his family had been involved in harness racing before he was born and Shults appeared in his first winner’s circle photo as an infant – but it wasn’t until recently that he embarked on his own career in the sport.
In 2021, Shults joined with his father, William, and business partner Scott McDarby to buy his first racehorse. Later that year, he got his first training win with the horse, Revolver N, in a race at The Meadowlands. Now, the 44-year-old New Jersey native will look to get to the winner’s circle as a driver. Shults will make his career debut in the sulky Saturday (March 2) in a Meadowlands Amateur Drivers Club event at the Big M.
