HORSEPLAYER'S JOE KRISTUFEK TO APPEAR AT TRACKSIDE OTB LOCATIONS
THROUGHOUT CHICAGO DURING WINTER AND SPRING
ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Ill. (January 18, 2008) – HorsePlayerdaily handicapper and Arlington Park odds maker Joe Kristufek will be on hand “talking horses” at Trackside OTB locations on selected weekend days during the first half of 2008. It marks a busy winter for Kristufek, who also will have his finger on the pulse of the midwestern action in Arkansas, authoring the debut of The Winner's Card, Oaklawn Park Edition for HorsePlayerdaily.com.
This will be the second such OTB tour for Kristufek, the leading public handicapper in money won seven of the last eight Arlington Park meets. Kristufek will be available to answer questions and help patrons fine tune their handicapping skills in a casual environment.
“I enjoyed getting out to the Trackside OTBs last fall and sharing handicapping theories and ideas with fans of all levels, particularly in a casual, interactive setting,” Kristufek said. “With the road to this year’s Kentucky Derby underway, I'm particularly looking forward to spending time with people who love horseracing and talk about the major Derby preps.”
The tour of Trackside OTBs begins with an appearance at Trackside McHenry located inside Nicolino’s Restaurant at 621 Ridgeview Drive, McHenry, on Saturday, January 26 from 12:30 p.m. until 4:30 p.m.
