Winning Ponies

Ms. Novak has won many awards for writing such as the 2008 Louisville Metro Journalism Award for Sports Writing. While contributing to racing coverage for Hearst Publications’ Albany Times Union every summer at Saratoga Race Course since 2007, her work has been published in Louisville Magazine, Keeneland Magazine, Kentucky Derby Magazine, and Breeders’ Cup Magazine, among others. Claire will enlighten us about how she got into writing about the sport of kings, and share some of her most memorable moments as the youngest member on the Breeders' Cup notes team. Ed Meyer was the host of this show for almost 3 years since 2008, until he moved on from his Publicity Director job at River Downs to Keeneland, where he is currently Administrator of their Advance Deposit Wagering (ADW) services. He will provide us with his expert picks as our host analyzes this weekend stakes races from around the country.
