Columbus, OH — The Grand Circuit rolls into the Windy City this weekend, and is the subject of this week’s Eye On Harness Racing Weekend Preview.

Guest host T.J. Burkett, editor of Hoof Beats, takes a look at the full card of American-National Stakes to be held this Saturday (Oct. 11) at Balmoral Park. Father Patrick looks to bounce back in the 3-year-old colt trotting division from his defeat in the Kentucky Futurity, while Little Brown Jug winner Limelight Beach takes on a full, competitive field in the 3-year-old colt pace. The most competitive field may be the 3-year-old filly trot, where world champions Lifetime Pursuit and Cee Bee Yes take on Kentucky Filly Futurity winner Shake It Cerry.

Burkett also looks to handicap some of the races, giving out “T.J.’s Grandstand Guesses” in the open pace and 3-year-old colt pace. Tune in by clicking the video above or by visiting the USTA’s YouTube page at www.youtube.com/ustrotting.
