Kyle Rothfus who is a Retired Racehorse Project trainer & Mare / war horse specialist will take us through the story of Worthy of Wings, a hard knocking thoroughbred mare who not only had 138 starts, but survived the devastating hurricane in Puerto Rico. The efforts of many were able to help her find her way home in Ohio. Kyle has agreed to take her and retrain her for 2019. He will find her a good home after the makeover. Turf writer and handicapper Bob “Railbird” Roberts, a native of Cleveland will share stories of a man he shared a press box with for many years. Chuck Scaravilli, a man who wore many hats in racing over the decades, and died at age 90 in his hometown of Cleveland, Ohio on Nov. 17, 2018. Scaravilli galloped horses as a teenager, trained for almost 40 years, and worked for DRF from 1967 to 1997, at which time chart-calling was taken over by Equibase. Bob will join John to analyze the four graded stakes races at Aqueduct including the Grade 1 $750,000 Cigar Mile.
