An appropriately sketchy biography: a horse-racing tout with a Fortean system who disappears into the shadows.
Ray Jurgen. Perhaps Jürgen. He’s mentioned in Doubt once—#15, January 1947. At the time, he was living at 32-12 54th Street, Woodside, Long Island New York. We know from what was reported by Tiffany Thayer that he was involved in horse racing—and as it happens, his house was only about fifteen miles from the Belmont Park Race Track.
Searching for Ray Jurgen’s associated with horse racing reveals that this Ray Jurgen lived in Chicago around 1930. We can be fairly certain it’s the same one, since at the time he was advertising a winning system that sounds like the one discussed by Thayer. So we have two biographical points. What can be discovered from these? As it turns out, not much: not much at all.
