Hambo Week

Working hard to push through most of the September issue. I only have three days this week because Thursday I’m flying out to join Nicole, Mark and Rich and cover the Hambletonian. It’s a busy day, and will start with an autograph session with top drivers at 11:15 a.m. We’re also having a Harnessphere meet-up at that time, so if you are at the track that day, be sure to get there early to say hi and meet some other ‘spheresters.
This year we are looking to try new ways to cover the Hambletonian. One thing that’s great about working with Nicole is that both of us are always willing to try to bring you harness racing in new and different ways, so if you have any ideas, please e-mail me at tj.burkett@ustrotting.com. We will do a special section in Hoof Beats, along with video coverage, Twitter updates and a live blog. If there is anything you would like to see, please let me know.
This is one of the busiest—and most fun—weekends of the year for me. I can’t wait to get out there and experience the excitement of trotting’s biggest race all over again. I hope to see you out there!
Cheers,
T.J.
