He is the author of the award-winning book The History and Art of 25 Travers and the keeper of the Saratoga Diary at bloodhorse.com, which begins tomorrow and runs every racing day during the Saratoga meet. He will tell us how he got into the thoroughbred game and share with us his thoughts on how to improve the sport of racing. In the second segment, our guest Jason Beem has been a lifelong handicapper and has worked at Emerald Downs in 2004 as a turf writer and media assistant. He also had hosted a weekly horse racing show in Portland called The Winning Ticket as well as filled in on the weekday sports talk shows on 750am the game sports radio. He will join our host in handicapping the major stakes races to be run this week-end around the country.
