Winning Ponies

Jay Hovdey has been executive columnist for Daily Racing Form since 1998. Previously, he covered horse racing for The Blood-Horse and the Thoroughbred Record, and his work has appeared in the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, and Reader's Digest. He will talk about the racing game in general, will tell us why the HBO racing show Luck got cancelled and will give us some insight into the upcoming Pacific Classic. In the second segment Tom LaMarra, news editor from the Blood-Horse and a guest many times on this show will join our host in handicapping some of the most important stakes races to be run this week-end, most notably Saratoga's Mid-Summer Derby the $1million Grade 1 Travers Stakes and Del Mar's $1million Grade 1 Pacific Classic Stakes.
