Derick
Giwner of DRF Harness will join the Cal Expo broadcast team with nightly
analysis of the Pick-5. The meet, run under the Watch and Wager LLC banner,
kicks off on Saturday, October 24 and will also feature a complete simulcast of
the Breeders Crown program from Woodbine.
Giwner
will provide Cal Expo fans nightly insight and suggested Pick-5 strategies,
while the nightly Pick-4 analysis featuring Gary Siebel and Dave Brower will
remain intact.
The
Cal Expo nightly Pick-5 is conducted on the first five Cal Expo races nightly.
The popular wager features a 16% takeout a $0.50 minimum wager. The bet also
features a 25% minor pool payout this season.
"We
are really excited to have Derick joining our nightly broadcast,” said General
Manager Chris Schick. “He is without doubt one of the sharpest harness
handicappers in the game and we expect his analysis to be a popular nightly
segment"
Derick
became a harness racing fan in the early 1990s with trips to Yonkers Raceway,
while seeing such top performers as Scenic Regal and Dr Trotta. He continued on
to get a BBA in Marketing before officially joining the industry in 1996 as an
editor at Sports Eye, a daily harness news publication and printing company.
“I’m
thrilled that DRF Harness and Cal Expo are working together on this project to
provide handicappers with another tool to utilize in their quest to profit at
the track,” said Giwner. “These multi-race wagers have been a big hit with
bettors and some of my favorite wagers as well.”
