Officials with ‘Post Time with Mike and Mike’ have released a preview of the upcoming edition of the show.
Post Time will be at Hoosier Park Friday (Sept. 20) for Hoosier Pacing Derby Night. Post Time would like to advise listeners that Thursday’s (Aug. 19) show has been cancelled in lieu of the show on Friday night.
The broadcast will begin at 8 p.m. and run until 11 p.m., covering races 7-12. Mike and Mike will be joined by former analyst Jessica Otten, DRF contributor Garnet Barnsdale, and regular contributor Taylor Johnston. Otten will co-host and offer insight throughout the program, with Barnsdale sharing his in-depth analysis, and Johnston providing pre- and post-race interviews.
The stakes laden program at Hoosier Park has a first post of 6:30 p.m. and will feature some of North America's top pacers and trotters. The mare Hannelore Hanover will take on the boys as she did in 2017 when she finished second. The Caesars Trotting Classic (Race 12) will feature a loaded field, which will include Hambletonian champion Marion Marauder, Hambletonian Maturity and Cashman winner Crystal Fashion, and Kentucky Futurity champion Six Pack.
The Harrah’s Hoosier Park Pacing Derby will feature 2018 Horse of the Year McWicked who comes back to town to try to avenge his loss in the Dan Patch Stakes in August. He will face nine others, including Iowa superstar Jimmy Freight and This Is The Plan, who has put together a strong 2019 campaign.
