Early life

Schulhofer was born into a racing family in Aiken, South Carolina, where his father owned a racing stable as well as a riding academy. While in his teens, he worked for trainer Oleg Dubassoff before serving overseas with the United States Army infantry during World War II. At war's end, he studied for two years at The Citadel in Charleston, South Carolina. Enrolled in a premed program, he did not pursue his education further, preferring to return to the horse racing industry.

In 1962, Schulhofer saddled his first winner at Aqueduct Racetrack. He went on to win another 1,118 races, including two Breeders' Cup races, and the Belmont Stakes Classic, twice.

Retirement

His son, Randy Schulhofer, is also a Thoroughbred trainer.
