Tonight (10/27) at 8pm ET (5pm PT), on our live Internet radio show "Winning Ponies", we welcome Terry Wallace and Ed DeRosa.
Terry Wallace will reminisce on a career in race calling at Oaklawn that spanned almost four decades. He has been called the" most recognizable voice in Arkansas", and will be receiving the Mr. Fitz Award this year. Ed Derosa will shed some light on this weekend stakes races to be run around the country, and will share his thoughts on the upcoming Breeders' Cup to be run on Friday 4th, and Saturday 5th of November at Churchill Downs.
Guest #1 - Terry Wallace
Wallace retired as track announcer at Oaklawn earlier this year after a 37-year run. Wallace was named “Man of the Year” by the Arkansas Horsemen’s Benevolent and Protective Association and after calling his 20,000th consecutive race, and Hot Springs Mayor Mike Bush declared it “Terry Wallace Day.” Terry Wallace, who has been called the “most recognizable voice in Arkansas,” will receive the Mr. Fitz Award during the 52nd annual NTWAB Awards Dinner at the Louisville Slugger Museum in downtown Louisville. Presented annually to an individual or group for typifying the spirit of horse racing, the Mr. Fitz Award is named for the late Hall of Fame trainer Jim “Sunny Jim” Fitzsimmons. Past winners of the Mr. Fitz Award include 2010 recipient Richard Migliore, Luke Kruytbosch, Calvin Borel, Robert and Beverly Lewis, and Joe Hirsch.
Guest #2 - Ed DeRosa
Ed DeRosa grew up going to the track with his grandfather, who pretty much taught him to read (words and past performances) by letting him flip through the Daily Racing Form when he was done with it. He got into journalism in college, working for the school paper and eventually the small-town daily near his school. He recalls "I loved the rush of telling a story" and hoped that one day he would be able to combine his profession and hobby. Thoroughbred Times expanded its editorial department with the addition of Thoroughbred Times TODAY in spring 2002, and that's when DeRosa joined the paper. Ed DeRosa is Director of Marketing for Bloodstock Research Information Services (BRIS) and a lifelong Thoroughbred racing enthusiast and astute handicapper. Ed joined Churchill Downs Inc. following nine years as a writer and editor with Thoroughbred Times.
