Just listen to this race call from Dave Rodman. Shades of the great Larry Lederman in how he did this. Awesome stuff. This would be on my Sportscenter Top 10 @ESPN.


Here’s something you don’t see every day. U.S. Trotting Assn. ESPN FOX Sports Hollywood Casino at The Meadows 📸 Chris Gooden 📸

Any Philadelphia Phillies fans out there who remember the Philadelphia Daily News headline “Wheez Win” in 1983? I can’t find a record of it.

Turf course looking really nice The Maryland Jockey Club, Inc. for the first grass races of the season Friday, April 18.



Jeez, everyone comes out of the woodwork to be a work clocker on Kentucky Derby week. #KyDerby #HorseRacing


Jockey Julio Felix had 5 mounts (consecutive) and won with all 5 today Fairmount Park. He has won more than 3,500 races. He was a force in Ohio 20 years ago. God bless him.

Final Gambit had troubled start again in KY Derby. You can overcome that at Turfway Park Racing & Gaming in a big field on Tapeta. But to finish fourth from last after that trip on a sloppy track in first dirt start, I think the horse is very legit.




Some horses are really good but fall under the radar. Today, Oeuvre (37-19-5-4), ridden by Jareth Loveberry, won stakes at Hawthorne and blew past $1M mark in earnings. IL-bred well-handled in her career by trainer Chris Block for breeder/owner Richard Perkins. Congrats to all.


Always cool to hear Paul Allen calling races Canterbury Park. The first race of the meet did not disappoint. 😊 Have a great meet.
