On Wednesday, January 25, harness racing’s newest inductees to the Hall of Fame, driver Brian Sears and communicator Steve Wolf, will be the special guests on ‘It’s Post Time With JJ Gracie,’ an internet Thoroughbred radio show in south Florida.
The program will get underway at 3:00 p.m. on wdbfradio.com.
It’s Post Time With JJ Graci takes place seven days a week – live on Thursdays from the studio, and it is on location at Gulfstream Park on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. The show features sessions about the horse racing industry, including harness racing, handicapping, live race calls, trivia with prizes, and great guests.
Sears, a south Florida native and graduate of Cardinal Gibbons High School, won his first race at age 16 at Pompano Park and hails from three generations of harness horsemen. Both his grandfather, Gene, and father, Jay, are inducted in the Florida Harness Racing Hall of Fame.
Currently, Sears has amassed 9,714 driving wins, purse earnings of more than $176 million and has a very impressive career UDR of .329.
Wolf has been living in south Florida for 17 years. Starting out as an owner/breeder in 1977 with his father, Manny, and their Leo Wolf & Son Stable, he was the director of racing operations at the Isle Pompano Park for nine years and is now a horse racing consultant.
“I really like and appreciate harness racing,” said JJ Graci, “and it will be great to have two of the sport’s newest inductees to the Harness Racing Hall of Fame on our show Wednesday.”
