Battle of Waterloo goes this afternoon

[Headpole Dave]

Really nice card of racing this afternoon that's just undeway. Watch the two year old fillies battle in the "Battle of the Belles," and than check out the colts in the Battle of Waterloo! Tarpon is the morning line favorite and has last years winning driver Scott Zeron looking to defend his title. Should be a great card of racing, tune in at Grand River!
