OFF TO THE RACES RADIO RETURNS FOR FALL SHOWS

Off to the Races returns – podcast-style – with a 60-minute show focused on Thoroughbred racing and breeding around the Mid-Atlantic and across the country.
On Saturday’s show, we’ll talk about the evening’s 35th running of the West Virginia Breeders’ Classics races, plus a quartet of Breeders’ Cup Challenge races at Keeneland, and much more.

Frank Vespe will do the hosting honors, and the day’s guests include:
- Carol Holden, president and co-founder of West Virginia Breeders’ Classics;
- Ted Black, Charles Town correspondent for The Racing Biz;
- along with Nick Hahn, handicapper and contributor to The Racing Biz, and former Colonial Downs on-air handicapper Derby Bill Watson.
