MEYOCKS, BELMONT TALK ON OFF TO THE RACES RADIO

Press Release
June 4, 2021

Off to the Races Radio returns Saturday, June 5 with a lively program focused on Thoroughbred racing and breeding from Virginia, the Mid-Atlantic, and around the country.

The weekly radio show, which airs on ESPN Richmond (VA), 106.1 FM and is available everywhere via livestreaming, will mark its 22nd season, starting February 13.

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 show is powered by The Racing Biz and sponsored in part by the Virginia Thoroughbred Association and Virginia Equine Alliance. The program airs each Saturday morning from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. It will also be archived on theracingbiz.com.

Listeners can catch it live here.

On Saturday’s show, we’ll visit with Terry Meyocks and have plenty of talk about the 153rd Belmont Stakes. Meyocks is president and CEO of the Jockeys’ Guild, which has been fighting rules in New Jersey that severely restrict how and when jockeys may use their riding crops.

Also slated to join the show are Darrell Wood and Derby Bill Watson. Wood will provide updates and insights on racing and breeding in Virginia, while Derby Bill is the former on-air handicapper for Colonial Downs. The show is hosted by Nick Hahn with support from Frank Vespe.

“We’re excited to kick off the new season of Off to the Races,” said Vespe, who is the owner and publisher of The Racing Biz, which oversees Off to the Races. “No one knows Mid-Atlantic racing better, and we look forward to another season with top guests, compelling interviews, and great handicapping — and plenty of laughs along the way.”

The Off to the Races season kicks off February 20 and will extend through the Colonial Downs racing season and into September.
