Saratoga Handicapping Expo
 

For those in the Capital OTB area, I see Mr. Steve Byk, is listed as a guest speaker on July 21st at 11 a.m.

I too noticed that yesterday when they had a promo during the raceday.. :o

I'll be there representing Thoro-Graph, 'At the Races' (Thoroughbred Racing Radio Network) and to promote the Monday OTB-TV 12 show I'll be doing with Seth Merrow (9:30-10:30am starting July 30)... Show is (tentatively) being called "Keyword: Saratoga"..

I don't think any human being could keep up with you as an assistant. ;)

The Expo should be good. The Clancy's will be there as well as Tom Gallo from Parting Glass Racing.
I'll be there.

Linny, do you know what that open house is about next Sunday?

Drinking cheap beer and watching jumpers...

Gallo shouldn't be a selling point...

Something for me and something for Sightseek. Sounds perfect.

Sighseek, they have some jump races and handicapping seminars, events for kids, riding demonstrations. It's a generally fun day, "family fun" is how NYRA describes it. I'll probably be there for part of it. I have to be up there in the morning anyhow.

Neat, if the weather is good we'll probably go up. I can't believe the meet is almost here!

Steve's gonna have to start shooting up coffee.

I'm way ahead of you PP.. Looking into a reliable smack vendor..

With Seth's stamp of approval earlier this afternoon, show name now 'official'...

"Keyword: Saratoga"

Is this new to you for this year? I think they are doing live streaming of the seminar on the 21st on OTB's website.

The show is new. The CapOTB people inquired if I wanted to do the thing Mike Kipness ("The Wizard") did last year capping on air/making plays, and I couldn't do that of course with the other obligations. But Seth Merrow then asked if I wanted to do a weekly show on the Monday's where there was an opening. So that sounded good. We'll review the previous week's highlights; have a guest or two; cap the Monday card and look ahead to the upcoming week. Should be a lot of fun.

The Expo sounds like a great afternoon as well. And I believe 'Linny' is having me as a guest opening week on her show. I estimate everyone should be plenty sick of me by about August 6th...

Amen

That is really great, congrats on your new project! They really put together some good programing on the OTB channel. Even the simulcast of Hollywood card at night is better than I've seen before with more coverage. (as I say this the last field is dropping like flies with late scratches :eek: )

"The Wizard" is one intense guy.

I still vividly remember him glaring into the TV camera and calling himself "The Wizard" a few times last year.

TV Producer friend of mine said....you should work with the guy....INTENSE doesn't fairly paint the picture

I have worked with the Wiz and "intense" was not the first word that popped into my mind...
