They will be supported on-air by long time thoroughbred writer and handicapper, Jennifer Morrison, well known Fort Erie commentator, Elissa Blowe and Maddie-Jo Tilley, a Humber College honours journalism graduate.
Tune in weekly as Joe and Jason demonstrate what a terrific pastime thoroughbred racing can be from a fan’s perspective and why owning your own racehorse can be such an unparalleled thrill.
