News coming out about Troy Sylvester has cast a pall on the Hambo festivities. The respected horseman—son of Chuck Sylvester—was in a horrible ATV accident and his injuries are severe. The Sylvesters are one of racing’s finest families, and Troy is a terrific guy. We wish for them only the best.
Met for lunch with T.J., Rich Johnston and Mark Hall to strategize about our next few days. Today we are filming “Eye on Harness Racing,” and hope you catch it at 3 p.m. Friday. T.J. is the host this week straight from The Big M! Mark and I are off for two stories tomorrow, then the cocktail party and races.
Sending prayers out to Troy,
Nicole
