The Best of Ohio stake series returns to Hollywood Gaming Mahoning Valley Race Course this Saturday, Oct. 30, consisting of five Ohio-bred stakes with purses totaling half a million dollars. While the ten race card kicks off with a first race post time of 12:15pm, the first of the Best of Ohio stakes will begin in race six.
As a specialty offering on the card, Mahoning Valley will include a Best of Ohio all stake Pick 5 covering races six through ten with the standard 15 percent takeout. Field size after early scratches averages ten betting interests per race. Sixth race post time is 2:35pm. Should there be a carryover in the early Pick 5 covering races one through five, it will carryover and be immediately available in the Best of Ohio Pick 5.
Tune into the races before the first as track announcer Matt Hook is joined by Mike Annechino and Tony Fischbach of the Ohio Thoroughbred Breeders and Owners breaking down the Best of Ohio stakes and sharing their picks for the day.
