Dream Derby: The Finale
“American Dream Derby,” GSN’s racing-related reality show, stages a live finale episode at Santa Anita tonight starting at 7 p.m. (Eastern Time). Only three contestants remain of the original 12, and they’re three of the most annoying — Eric, LeVar, and Sara — that appeared on the show. I admit to tuning out after the second week — there just wasn’t enough racing action or horse drama to keep my interest — but think it might be worth checking in this evening to catch the race that’ll decide the winner. The American Dream Derby Stakes is the final post at Santa Anita today.
2/22 Follow-up: And the winner is … Deanna Manfredi, a longshot in last night’s show. Her horse, Avenueofknowledge, won the $35,000 Dream Derby on Santa Anita’s sloppy main track. Manfredi won $250,000 and a stable of eight horses, seven of which she plans to send to Philadelphia Park to be trained by Scott Lake. Avenueofknowledge will remain in California with trainer Howard Zucker.
