Q-RACING JOURNAL—APRIL 24, 2014—The AQHA's Q-Racing Aces are hosting weekly live Facebook chats every Thursday at 3 p.m. Central on their Racing Aces Facebook page. The chats are open to the public; fans can simply log on to ask questions or share their handicapping insights.

Aces Denis Blake, Martha Claussen, Jennifer Hancock, John Hernandez and Jen Perkins rotate hosting the live chats each Thursday from 3-4 p.m. (CT).

In addition to the racing and handicapping expertise shared by the Aces, they will be joined by special guests.

Ace Jennifer Hancock on May 22 will talk horse racing and handicapping, and will be joined by Janet VanBebber James, an all-time leading American Quarter Horse trainer with a wealth of knowledge on racing and breeding who recently retired from training and is still involved in many facets of the industry.

Guests attending recently completed Q-Racing Aces Facebook chats include trainer Judd Kearl, Remington Park analyst Chris Kotulak, racing announcer Jonathan Horowitz and America's Best Racing's Jose Contreras.
