Winning Ponies

Joe Nevills is a staff writer for Thoroughbred Times, a columnist for Arabian Finish Line, and an outspoken advocate for the parts of the horse racing industry that get lost in the margins. A native of Edmore, Michigan, where he grew up learning the sport from his grandfather, a Thoroughbred owner and breeder in the state's claiming ranks, he followed the exploits of his family's stable at Great Lakes Downs and Mount Pleasant Meadows. Mr. Nevills has been with the Thoroughbred Times since August 2011 and will tell us about his journey into horse racing. In the second segment Katie Mikolay who is the racing analyst at Fair Grounds Race Course & Slots for the second year, will help our host handicap the $175,000 Grade III LeCompte, the $100,000 Grade III Col. E.R. Bradley Hcp., the $125,000 Silverbulletday all at Fair Grounds, and the $150,000 Grade II Palos Verdes at Santa Anita.
