We just had a fun and informative Google+ Hangout talking about the $600,000 G2 Rebel, from Oaklawn Park (to be run on Saturday March 16) with OP's Rolly Hoyt, TDN's Brian DiDonato, HRTV's Peter Lurie and of course, local faves Jason Beem and Matty J.

Congratulations to Jim Kleinke for finishing tied for first in Preliminary Leg #1 of the Alexander OTB Derby Prep Handicapping Contest on Saturday March 9, 2013.
While Portland Meadows doesn’t host any Triple Crown prep races, our handicappers and fans are definitely Triple Crown worthy.
Leading up to the Kentucky Derby, Portland Meadows will discuss one Derby prep race - our feature simulcast race of the week – in an online Google+ Hangout.
The Google+ Hangouts are limited to ten participants including five spots for the pros and insiders and five spots for fans of racing. All skills levels are welcome to participate.
Portland Meadows jockey April Boag lost her home and all of her belongings in a fire on February 11, 2013.
April and her two children escaped any serious injuries, but have nothing left, only the clothes they had on at the time.
Portland Meadows Racetrack is collecting donations to help April and her family through Thursday, February 21 and will ship everything to April and her family on the following day.
