The second annual “celebrity” harness horse race featuring the four legislative spokespersons and myself will be held today at the Illinois State Fair.

We’ve been told that the contest will start after the 2nd race, which puts it at about 3:30 pm.

I came in second to the governor’s office last year, and we all had a major blast.

There is no “legal” betting on this race since it’s just an exhibition, but you might wanna check around the stands anyway.

Hope to see you there.
