Summary
Stacey Viands didn't start out to be a trainer. He wanted to learn more about the business, so he went to work for Ronney Brown as a hotwalker, a groom, and later Brown's assistant. Viands appears on this episode of Midlantic Racing Today. Viands sent out his first starter in 2006, picked up his first winner in 2007, and now has 338 career victories with purse earnings of more than $5.8 million. His top trainees include the four-time stakes winner Parisian Diva for Melinda Golden and, currently, last year's Dash for Cash winner Time to Rock for owner-breeder Jill Daniel. We talk about his racing journey. Plus Charles Town track announcer Paul Espinosa stops by to recap last week's Leavitt Stakes and look ahead to the July 25 Sylvia Bishop Memorial -- and what they mean for the boys and girls three-year-old divisions at the track. Midlantic Racing Today is powered by The Racing Biz, and today's episode, Charles Town Races Today, is presented by Hollywood Casino at Charles Town Races.
