Winning Ponies

Peter Rotondo, Jr. has been working for the Breeders' Cup since 2006 and currently holds the position of Vice President of media and entertainment. His experiences have led him to be part of a new reality show for the recently launched Esquire Network. The show is aptly named ³Horseplayers² and follows Rotondo and his castmates on a tour of the best racing venues in the U.S. in the pursuit of the title of Handicapper of the Year and a $750,000 prize at the DRF/NTRA National Handicapping Championship. He will take us through his journey in horse racing and imparts with us some stories from his involvement with the Esquire's show. Rick Mocklin will be our second guest. He has done a little of everything in racing, and is currently a jockey agent at The Fair Grounds. Using Rick's intimate knowledge of The Fair Grounds we will handicap the $400,000 Gr. 2 Risen Star Stakes; the $200,000 Gr. 3 Rachel Alexandra Stakes and the $150,000 Gr. 3 Mineshaft Stakes from Fair Grounds and the $400,000 Gr. 2 Fountain of Youth
