Winning Ponies

G.D. Hieronymus, who has served as Keeneland’s Eclipse Award-winning Director of Broadcast Services since 2000, has announced his retirement effective Feb. 1, 2021. Hieronymus will continue to work during Keeneland’s Spring and Fall race meets and on special projects for the track and its industry and philanthropic partners. G.D. will join John to talk about his experiences at Keeneland and the many advancements he put in place in the visual art of racing. Hieronymus’ community engagement includes work with the American Heart Association and the American Diabetes Association. The best card on tap this weekend is Saturday’s from Aqueduct. They will offer a quartet of graded stakes – the $250,000 G1 Cigar Mile; the $150,000 G2 Demoiselle; the $150,000 G2 Remsen and the $100,000 G3 Go for Wand. There is no better source to handicap these top races from Aqueduct than a man who literally grew up on their backstretch – “The Big A” himself – Anthony Stabile.
