Really, time to forget about this hockey stuff. Eddie Olczyk needs to go all-in on horse racing.
Everyone knows Eddie O loves the horses. However, it takes some guts to pick two longshots in your debut as a horse race analyst.
From NBC:
*******
NBC NHL analyst Ed Olczyk correctly picked the longshot winner in both races last night (Saturday) in his on-air horse racing debut on NBCSN’s coverage of the $500,000 Gold Cup in the “Breeders’ Cup Challenge Series: Win and You’re In.”
Olczyk correctly picked 14-1 longshot Majestic Harbor in the Gold Cup race featuring 3-5 favorite Game On Dude. Majestic Harbor, with the win, earned a berth in the Breeders’ Cup Classic on Saturday, Nov. 1 in primetime on NBC.
In the earlier race on NBCSN, Olczyk correctly picked the winner Sheza Smoke Show in the Senorita Stakes. Sheza paid $23.20 to win on a $2 bet.
