For each day of Thoroughbred racing in Chicago, I'll take a look at one race. Of course, the goal is to pick a winner -- and along the way, you'll learn about horses, pedigrees, and handicapping angles at the Chicago racetracks, Arlington Park and Hawthorne Race Course.

    Chicago Race of the Day: An Announcement

    Episode 269 of Chicago Race of the Day is short, because it’s not a normal episode. We do look back at the race we discussed on Thursday, and I mention a horse from that maiden race that you’ll want to watch going forward. But then, I’m sorry to announce that the show is going on […]
