Chicago, IL — There will be no Spring Break this week for Night School, the racing industry’s national online fan education program. Tuesday’s 90-minute online lesson focuses on “Money Management and Wagering Theories.”

Night School’s weekly Tuesday online course continues at www.ustrotting.com from 8:30-10 p.m. (EDT) this week with a renowned cast of horseplayers discussing the all-important subjects of Money Management and Wagering Theories. The lesson features a program first, a video montage of the best of Night School from previous seasons on the subject matter.

The trio of guests in this week’s live chat promises to be exceptional. Joining Night School co-founders Joe Kristufek and Jeremy Plonk in the interactive chat will be top handicappers Dave Brower, Gibson Carothers and Rich Eng.

Brower has been one of harness racing’s most identifiable public handicappers. The former Meadowlands television analyst and morning line maker has appeared on several national telecasts of the sport over the past 20 years and is author of the harness wagering bible Harnessing Winners: The Complete Guide to Handicapping Harness Races, published by the Daily Racing Form.

Carothers long has been recognized as one of the architects of Pick-6 strategy and one of the most respected horseplayers in the game. The renowned advertising executive and master writer of some of pop culture’s most memorable phrases is also the father of TVG racing analyst Matt Carothers, who will be a guest panelist in next week’s Night School program.

And Eng is the turf writer and handicapper for the Las Vegas Review-Journal and author of Betting on Horse Races for Dummies.

The downloadable study materials this week will be actual wagering logs from Plonk and Kristufek, and the mindset behind them, for racing this past weekend at Gulfstream Park.

Presenting title sponsors for Night School are the United States Trotting Association, National Thoroughbred Racing Association, American Quarter Horse Association, Keeneland, and Churchill Downs, Inc.

The 90-minute classes are offered every Tuesday for 40 consecutive weeks through Dec. 3. Topics change weekly, and fans are eligible for prizes and rewards for registering. Registration is optional and free. There is never a charge for taking part in Night School.

This week’s Night School will be followed at 10 p.m. (EDT) by the “After Night School Special,” featuring live racing from Mountaineer Park. The segment will cover the evening’s final race in real time with free, live-streaming video. Fans wishing to take part in the Mountaineer action simply need to remain in the Night School chat after class.
