Racing with Extra Horsepower.
By way of timely example, this week sees the first ever history-making-eyeball-popping-nighttime-run race at legendary Churchill Downs. Show up at 4:00 PM on Friday June 19 to witness a whole new era of Thoroughbred racing entertainment. (CLICK HERE to shed a little more light on the subject.)
