Bio
Trainer Larry Demeritte is a native of the Bahamas who was a top trainer in his homeland. He dreamed of making it big in the United States and the drive to make that happen led him to relocate to the states in the mid-1970s and eventually become a U.S. citizen.
Demeritte, who took out his trainer's license in the U.S. in 1991, has developed a reputation for being able to find quality racehorses at a reasonable price and quipped after $11,000 purchase West Saratoga won the 2023 Iroquois Stakes: “I have champagne tastes with a beer budget.”
