Senator Damon Thayer is the Majority Leader of the Kentucky Senate. When last seen on TVG he was in a top hat and tails at Ascot, while two weeks later he was attending the races at a quite different venue - Kentucky Speedway who is represented by Thayer Communications and Consulting. Prior to becoming a politician he worked at Detroit Race Course, Thistledown and Turfway Park. We will discuss his impressions of the Ascot meet, Kentucky's future political involvement in racing and breeding and his views on the future of Turfway Park now that they have changed ownership. A regular on WP Eric Wing of Horse Tourneys will join John for some coast to coast handicapping starting at Saratoga with the Gr.1 $500,000 Coaching Club American Oaks, to Monmouth for the redemption race of Maximum Security the Gr.1 $1 million Haskell Invitational. Then out west for opening weekend at Del Mar where they will feature two Gr. 2 $200,000 races - the San Clemente Stakes and San Diego Handicap.
