"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...

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 )

"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...

It will be all gravy by then, espeically when Sumwon gets her picture taken in the winner's circle the day before!
