Winning Ponies

From a small 12 stall farm in his back yard in central Ohio, where his father had horses competing in the claiming game on a modest level, Dr. Joel Politi has reached the heights of thoroughbred racing when his 3-year-old filly Serengeti Empress wired the field in the historic Grade 1 $1,250,000 Longines Kentucky Oaks. We will be talking to him about the roller coaster ride he has taken with her and the faith he has in his trainer Tom Amoss. Eric Wing has served in numerous capacities a publicist and marketing, but is certainly a man who can watch a race keenly and come away with a decisive opinion. In the wave of reaction to the first-ever disqualification of a Kentucky Derby winner we will be anxious to listen to Eric’s view. Eric will then join John to look at the top Saturday races in his backyard called Belmont Park. Gr.1 $700,000 Man O’ War; Gr. 3 $300,000 Peter Pan Stakes: Gr. 3 $200,000 Vagrancy and the Gr. 3 $200,000 Beaugay Stakes.
