Live Broadcast of the Dan Patch from Hoosier Park

Elkton, MD --- Post Time with Mike and Mike, presented by BetAmerica, continues their live remote season on Friday (Aug. 11) with coverage of the 2018 Dan Patch Stakes, live from Hoosier Park Racing and Casino in Anderson, Ind.

The Dan Patch will feature champion Lazarus N who has taken North American harness racing by storm since coming in from New Zealand. His last start, a qualifier at The Meadowlands, was visually impressive as he won over Lather Up in 1:48.3 and had a final quarter of :25.3. He is a winner of 35 of 45 lifetimes starts and has raced at different distances throughout his career. Lazarus N is the richest Down Under Standardbred of all time with earnings of just over $2.6 million. 

Mike and Mike will have extensive coverage of the Dan Patch beginning at 8:30 p.m. via their website that will run for two hours. Jessica Otten, a normal correspondent for the program, will be co-hosting the live remote for the first time. Otten, a native of Michigan, has worked with Mike and Mike since the inception of their live remotes three years ago. Since joining the Post Time team, Otten has filled many roles including winner’s circle analyst, paddock analyst, social media coordinator, and she also writes a monthly article for the program. 

Joining the trio on the program will be Taylor Johnston. Johnston, a native of Ohio, has worked with Post Time with Mike and Mike for the last year working at various live remotes throughout their schedule. Johnston will be providing winner’s circle and paddock reaction throughout the evening. 

 In the 2017 Dan Patch Stakes, All Bets Off fought off all challengers throughout the first three-quarters of the race, but when 2017 Sam McKee Memorial winner Check Six engaged him, it proved to be too much to handle. The race has a long storied history of being one of the year’s top older pacing races.
