What is being called the first international horse racing convention and trade show has been scheduled for August 2017 in Saratoga Springs, N.Y. 'Equestricon' is designed to bring together racing fans, horse players, and stakeholders throughout the sport in an atmosphere of non-stop entertainment and lively discussion, organizers said in a release. The event, scheduled for Aug. 13-15, will be held at the Saratoga Springs City Center. Dan Tordjman, as co-founder of Equestricon and a correspondent for America's Best Racing will share his thoughts about this new venture. Gary West has been on the show numerous times. He is currently serving as part of the on-air team at the unique Kentucky Downs meet. There is a big handicapping contest there on Saturday offering guaranteed NHC seats to the top three finishers, and we will analyze the Gr. 3 600,000 dollar Calumet Farm Kentucky Turf Cup: the 400,000 dollars More Than Ready Mile and the 350,000 Ky.
