Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted July 3, 2018 Journalists Share Posted July 3, 2018 Building on the popularity of its annual karaoke contest fundraiser at Saratoga, the Permanently Disabled Jockey Fund will expand the competition to include a night of karaoke with jockeys at Del Mar this summer, creating a bi-coastal battle for the title of “Best Jockey Karaoke Performance.” The Del Mar colony will take to the microphone at the Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach, California Sunday, July 29, while Saratoga’s jockeys will try to outdo their counterparts the following night at Vapor Night Club in Saratoga Springs. A panel of celebrity judges at each venue will determine the best performance, which will then be posted on the PDJF’s Facebook page, where the public can vote for its favorite via a poll. “We always have a fun time trying to beat each other in Saratoga, but now the stakes are raised and we have to beat the guys in California, too,” said PDJF Board Member John Velazquez. “They’re performing first, so we have to come from behind to win.” “The Saratoga guys may have more experience in karaoke, having done it for so many years,” added Mike Smith. “But we have tons more personality and a few surprises in store. I think we’ll win the trophy.” Tom Durkin will serve as emcee in Saratoga and Mike Joyce of TVG will have the honors in California. General admission tickets for each venue are $75, and a limited number of VIP tickets are available for $150. Both events feature live and silent auctions and a cash bar.
