‘Post Time’ Announces Start Change
The 'Post Time with Mike and Mike' harness racing podcast has a new start time on Thursdays.
The program will begin at 10:30 a.m. (EST), and can be heard live at posttimewithmikeandmike.com. The show can also be heard on-demand at betamerica.com/barn.
The guest line-up for this Thursday (April 6) includes trainer Scott Di Domenico, drivers Russell Foster and Aaron Merriman, and Pompano Park Director of Racetrack Operations and Announcer Gabe Prewitt.
Di Domenico is the trainer of the red-hot pacer Missile J, who has been making his presence felt thus far in the George Morton Levy Series at Yonkers Raceway. Missile J has won seven of eight starts so far this season, for owners John McGill and Brian Carsey. The veteran trainer also picked up his 1,000th training win just a few days ago.
Speaking of milestones, driver Aaron Merriman, who is also joining the show Thursday, picked up his 9,000th career driving win at the Meadows on April 4 behind DDs Comet. Merriman, the leading driver in the U.S. in 2015 and 2016, is off to another blockbuster start. He is 120 wins ahead of Corey Callahan in the standings this season.
Red-hot Maryland-based driver Russell Foster will also join the program. Foster, who has been driving at Rosecroft and Dover regularly, had a six-win effort on the March 22 Rosecroft program. He had a four-win performance at Rosecroft on April 4.
The weekly Pompano Park segment will continue as well, with director of racetrack operations and track announcer Gabe Prewitt.
The $150 George Morton Levy Bracket Buster will be back in action this week. A field of 32 competitors is now down to eight, including Gulfstream Park Track Announcer Pete Aiello, who won his first two rounds to advance to the round of eight.
