Winning Ponies

Brian Zipse has been covering the scene for next week's edition of the Breeders' Cup and the pre-entries are now out. He will be our guest to cover the story lines and give insights to the contenders and pretenders. He will share the latest information gleaned from his publication Horse Racing Nation. Saturday is the biggest day of competition for the Buckeyes - not the two-legged kind from Columbus - but the four-legged kind at Mahoning Valley. There is a pot of $750,000 awaiting The Best of Ohio in every division. We are bringing in Bob Railbird Roberts the Dean of Ohio Racing. The fields have been drawn for the five races and while reigning Ohio Horse of the Year Altissimo looks like a standout in the Sprint - there are plenty of upset opportunities in the other races making up the Best of Ohio Pick 5 that will feature a Takeout of only 15%!
