Right here:
http://blog.horseplayersassociation.org/
On Saturday, where a post is, we'll have a live blog window, where anyone can make comments or picks. If people are interested it'll run from about 6:50 to 11:30, or whenever the races are over (I think Woodbine would be ending last at 11:30 or so).
If we don't get enough people, I will probably be there talking to myself, which is nothing new for me
Pop by if you'd like. Maybe we can catch some winners and up the handle at Tioga.

Nick/Jason---This year the BigM started a "drivers choice" feature. They let the betting public know which horse among the ones the driver was listed on he took for his drive. I think on Sunday driver Jason Bartlett was named on as many as five horses in the same race. Maybe you could include this info on your new handicapper's page. The BigM has Sam Mckee announce it before each race.

I see Mel's ex ROIis 113%. I plan on betting $20 ex's all weekend on his picks. You can thank me later for the price killing
Seriously, a couple good hits there dude. Well done.

Hate to mention it but Roger (Voice) Huston has been doing that for years. Recently they have added the graphics too!
They stopped announcing the claims prior to the race and only call it after the race has been run. Wish they would go back and tell us who is claimed. All the backside and every security guard on the track hear it 15 minutes till the race as they broadcast it to security. You might have to tip your guard to get that info presently.

I'm having a "Tioga Party" at my house tonight. Needless to say it's getting a little wild. Well maybe a lot wild.

Nick/Jason---One other request/idea I have for you guys. Give a call to Freehold Raceway and see if you could get the GREAT Larry Lederman to come up and be a guest race caller on a Sunday. Not only is he a great race caller who gets ALL the calls RIGHT, he also has a lot of fun doing it. With Larry you get a lot of different callers. He does a very good Tom Durkin, Roger Huston, "Bullet Bob Myer" Dave Johnson and a super funny Jackie Mason. No I am not related to Mr Lederman I just really enjoy his talent.
Also I think your race sec/morning line guy is doing a great job. Give that man a raise.
