LISTEN: OFF TO THE RACES LIVE OCTOBER 16

On the October 16 edition of Off to the Races, we’ll look back to last weekend’s West Virginia Breeders’ Classics and start looking ahead to Maryland Million. Plus plenty of handicapping and more.
Maryland Million’s Jordyn Egan will join us on Off to the Races to discuss Maryland Million 2021. The big event takes place October 23 at Laurel Park.
- Op-Ed: Midlantic circuit should promote growth, not reductions
A Midlantic circuit should happen — and it needs to promote sustainable growth, rather than slashing racing dates as one recent proposal suggested.

The night prior, October 22, features Sip & Win, a fundraiser for the Maryland Horse Foundation taking place at the Fasig-Tipton sales pavillion at the Timonium state fairgrounds. Maryland Million, a day of stakes races geared towards Maryland-sired horses, is the oldest state-bred/sired racing day in the nation and will take place this year for the 36th time.
The October 16 Off to the Races will also feature handicapping, race analysis, and of course banter with Derby Bill Watson and Nick Hahn. Derby Bill gave out a $26 winner last weekend on Off to the Races and will look to keep it going this weekend.
