Rich Johnston and T.J. Burkett really outdid themselves on their video efforts from Adrenaline, the big entertainment event up in Canada last weekend. Check it out at www.youtube.com/ustrotting.
Sounds like the event was terrific, though some weather issues may have impacted attendance. There were bands, different types of races, all kinds of food and booths. Rich and T.J. both loved the idea that attendees could buy pre-purchased for $10 betting tickets for five races, without having to do any handicapping, or visiting the betting windows at all—expect to cash! Great idea for the novice.
This week is the beginning and the end around Hoof Beats—the beginning of our ramp up to some extensive coverage at both the Little Brown Jug and Lexington, and the end of our summer interns, who have been such a big part of our staff. Every quarter we welcome students from The Ohio State University, who are selected from Comm 602, the magazine writing class I teach at OSU. Ian, Justynn, Matt, Jonathan and Catlin have made up a super intern class—working hard on stories, interviews, race coverage, etc. We are grateful for their efforts and look forward to our new interns, Samantha, Kristen and Whitney starting up in the fall.
Have a great day,
Nicole
