Columbus, OH — The Saturday (Aug. 17) card at Eldorado Scioto Downs started off hot with a 1:49 opening race, but even a power surge delay followed by a rain delay couldn’t dampen the racing events to come later in the card. Seafire, a 4-year-old Ohio-sired horse, won the $100,000 #SendItIn Invitational Pace in 1:48, and Twin B Joe Fresh took the $100,000 Cleopatra Invitational, for mares, setting a new track record of 1:48.2 for older distaffers.

In the mid-1970s, Good Timesmade a star of actor/comedian Jimmy 'JJ'/'Dynomite' Walker. However, behind the scenes, the tension between the stars was relatively challenging. According to what Jimmie Walker once relayed, most of the show's cast rarely had any interaction behind the camera. Walker didn't recall having any conversations with actress Esther Rolle, who played his TV mother, Florida Evans, or actor John Amos, who played James Evans, his TV mother.
