Welcome to The Pick Three, a new lifestyle show and podcast from In The Money Media. Hosts Josh Nguyen and Mike Ricci help you construct the perfect Pick 3 ticket for a day at the track. Get insider tips on what to drink, what to eat and where to hang.
In the kickoff episode, Josh and Mike visit Oaklawn Park in Hot Springs, Arkansas for Arkansas Derby weekend. They start the tour right, with an incredible lunch at DeLuca’s Pizzeria and are joined by the Ten Strike Racing team. The pizza gets them in the door but a different food leaves them drooling. Pizzeria owner, Tony DeLuca spills how his shop achieved a “must eat'' status for anyone making a trip to Oaklawn. Next, Rose Schweikhart from Superior Bathhouse Brewing gives us a brief history of the craft beer scene in Hot Springs. Finally, Josh and Mike complete their Pick 3 with a classic sandwich combo that is best enjoyed within the walls of Oaklawn Park.
