Winning Ponies

Drum roll please”Ladies and gentlemen, it is our honor to present to you for the 150th time the Midsummer Derby!” Yes, it is time to see who has matured since the first Saturday of May and withstood the rigors of racing. Can trainer Bill Mott claim 2 Derbies? While eventual Derby winner Country House is on the sidelines, his stablemate Tacitus will take up the banner for the Hall of Fame trainer. Post time is 11:35 AM EST. Travers will run as the 11th race. The other stakes include the Dollor 400,000 Woodford Reserve Ballston Spa (G2), the Dollor 500,000 Kettle Won Ballerina (G1) a win and you're in Breeders Cup race, the Dollor 500,000 H. Allen Jerkens Memorial (G1), the Dollor 700,000 Personal Ensign (G1) (Breeders Cup qualifier), the Dollor 600,000 Forego (G1) and the Dollor 850,000 Sword Dancer (G1). Two popular handicappers Eric Wing and Ed Meyer will join John to discuss all of the days graded stakes action, giving their picks and potential longshots to hopefully put some “green in your jeans!”
