Winning Ponies

Jennie Rees will be our 1st guest for our Winningponies Year in Review Edition. Since leaving the Louisville Courier-Journal, Jennie never missed a beat as the Multi-Eclipse Award winning writer she is. She attended the Breeders's Cup, is helping to promote the efforts of Jockey Talk 360 benefiting the PDJF and was a one-woman press corps for Ellis Park and Kentucky. She is currently on the scene in New Orleans and when not munching on a Muffaletta or attending a Crawfish Boil, she assists her husband, trainer Pat Dupuy with chores around the barn. Since the Breeders' Cup took place in his back yard, we thought the Blood-Horse's West Coast correspondent Jeremy Balan would have excellent insights on the 2016 racing highlights. Santa Anita opened this week and they will host three graded stakes races on Saturday. Jeremy will join John in handicapping the Gr. 1 $300,000 American Oaks; the Gr. 3 $100,000 Robert J. Frankel Stakes and the Gr. 3 $100,000 Midnight Lute Stakes.
