NICHOLS, NY – With harness racing’s greatest day just three days away, “Inside Harness Racing” presents a full preview of the $1.5 Million Hambletonian including interviews with top human connections and a review of the eliminations.

The episode airs today (Wednesday) at 6:00 PM and again at 10:30 PM on Time Warner Cable Sports throughout Upstate New York. It’ll also be replayed Thursday at 6:00 PM and Friday at 11:30 PM. The show can also be seen each week on HPI TV in Canada. Viewers can also watch every episode online at the Tioga Downs and Vernon Downs YouTube channel (www.youtube.com/tiogadowns).

Plus, Jeff Gregory is known as one of the top catch drivers in New York, but now he’s also the owner of a leading 2-year-old trotting filly, Palm Beach Chic. She won a Sire Stakes at Vernon Downs with Gregory at the lines.
