In the ever changing landscape of VLT’s, the show never seems to stop. The issues at hand now are not the idea of the money machines pumping life back into the state coffers, but are about gambling age requirements. Governor Strickland in Ohio was put into one of the newest “catch-22’s” around. Maybe it should […]
Woodbine is known for some quality racing. This weekend will be no different. I can’t wait until Sunday, and I would advise you to your data and be ready. On Sunday, there are some great races. Here are a few runners that need a big look against the data for Woodbine. Let us begin with […]
The state of Ohio is a hair away from having alternative gambling (slot machines) to fund purses and allow racing to survive. The only problem is that single hair is as thick as the Amazon forest…… Ohio’s Governor Strickland made a bold move and reversed his stance on this type of gaming. What was he […]

The special guest of the Internet show this week, is the man you should be following when watching Ohio racing, Jamie Ness. […]
When your parents are trainers, you would probably think that you have a pretty good chance of ending up in the business. Walking horses at age 5, and riding horses at the age of 16, would also give you an idea that this may be your calling. But, for a man in his early 40’s […]
In all sports, you must have the right people in the best places to be effective. Racing is no different, and the jock/trainer/owner combo can make all of the difference in the game. Take Yuri Yaranga. He is a solid speed rider, and can close as well. He looks good in the irons, and has […]
