Richard Dillon, is presenting ‘Understanding the Racing Program at the Horse Track’ as part of the Master the Possibilities programming on Thurs., March 7 from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. at the On Top of the World classrooms in Ocala.
Dillon asks, “Did you ever go to the race track with friends who know how to bet and understand the racing form or program?”
He answers this by providing information for the casual bettor that will help fans understand the racing program and the included past performances of the horses and jockeys.
A retired Thoroughbred trainer and owner from the Northeast, Dillon operated a public stable for 18 years working with mostly claiming horses of various levels. He also rode for two seasons as an amateur jump rider at hunt meets in Maryland and has served as an adjunct professor at Wilmington College in Delaware.
The course fee is $3 for On Top of the World residents and $8 for the general public. Register online here or call 352-861-9751 for more information. Or CLICK HERE
