Saturday’s show will feature plenty of Preakness talk. Slated to join the show are bloodstock agent Gary Young and Kate Hunter. Young purchased Kentucky Derby winner Medina Spirit as a two-year-old for $35,000 for owner Amr Zedan. Hunter helped arranged for the Japan-based France Go de Ina to run in the Preakness and is accompanying the horse on its travels.
Also slated to join the show is Darrell Wood. Wood will provide updates and insights on racing and breeding in Virginia. The show is hosted by Nick Hahn with support from Frank Vespe.
“We’re excited to kick off the new season of Off to the Races,” said Vespe, who is the owner and publisher of The Racing Biz, which oversees Off to the Races. “No one knows Mid-Atlantic racing better, and we look forward to another season with top guests, compelling interviews, and great handicapping — and plenty of laughs along the way.”
The Off to the Races season kicks off February 20 and will extend through the Colonial Downs racing season and into September.
