I am really excited about this week's radio show and I thought some other horse racing fans would be interested also. For anyone that is not familiar with the Winning Ponies Radio Show, it is hosted by John Englehardt and we have special guests each week to talk about handicapping and other racing topics.
I am thrilled to hear from this week's special guests Steven Crist and Dan Johnson. The show airs live 8pm ET on http://radio.winningponies.com.
Read Below for the full episode description! I'll have John check this thread just incase you want to talk about something in particular.
