The latest episode of "The Michigan Mighty" airs tonight (Thursday, April 27) on Harness Racing Symposium 101 on Facebook and will be cross-posted on the Northville Downs’ Facebook page at 7 p.m. EDT.
"The Michigan Mighty" is the newest show that covers all-things happening in harness racing in the state of Michigan with an emphasis on Northville Downs. Hosted by track announcer Ken Terpenning, weekly interviews with horsemen and women and key track personnel as well as racing recaps from the previous week are usually on the agenda.
Debuting two weeks ago on April 13 with an interview with owner/trainer/breeder Techia Lohmann, who trains 2022 Michigan Aged Pacer of the Year Lying In Cash, the show was well-received. Last week’s episode featured interviews with Northville’s race starter Jim ‘Ace’ Szabo and owner/trainer/driver Tim Roach.
Tonight’s episode will feature an interview with Northville’s outrider Nicole Stroup and her trusty charge Poncho. Stroup has been an outrider in Michigan at Northville Downs, Jackson Raceway, Saginaw, Sports Creek and Hazel Park.
"The Michigan Mighty" airs weekly on Thursdays at 7 p.m. EDT on Harness Racing Symposium 101 on Facebook and the Northville Downs Facebook page.
