Winning Ponies

Winner of the Eclipse Award as outstanding apprentice jockey in 1974 and the Eclipse Award as outstanding jockey in 1980, Chris McCarron led North America by races won three times and by money won four times. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1989. Not one to rest on his laurels, he founded the North American Racing Academy in Lexington, Kentucky. Chris is a wealth of knowledge of the sport on so many levels and his enthusiasm is infectious. He will talk Preakness with John, reminisce on his wins on Alysheba and Pine Bluff and share his impressions of California Chrome in the 139th Preakness Stakes this coming Saturday. Our second guest Richard Eng covers the Horse Racing industry. Handicapping for Dummies is one of the many handicapping books he wrote. He also is a writer for Las Vegas Review Journal and the Daily Racing Form. He will join John in handicapping the 139th Preakness Stakes, the $500,000 Gr. 2 Black-Eyed Susan Stakes and the $300,000 Gr. 3 Pimlico Special Stakes all from Pimlico.
