Columbus, OH – The Dayton Daily News featured Ohio owner Jack Froschauer, who not only had success with his horse, Lou’s Delight, on the track at Hollywood Gaming Dayton Raceway, but a song that he recorded on a Christmas album more than a decade ago that became a surprising hit during this holiday season.

According to the story by Tom Archdeacon, “It’s been quite a past few days for Jack Froschauer.

“Friday night (Dec. 30) — on the final day of the four-month harness meet at Dayton Raceway — Lou’s Delight, his 5-year-old gelding driven by Tyler Smith, overcame a tough trip in the sixth race that had him parked on the outside the whole way.

“Regardless, he outran the nine other horses and passed Major Crocker A down the stretch to win the one mile pace in 1:52.3 and pay $11.60 on a $2 wager.

“It was the second win in 13 days for Lou, who is trained by veteran horseman Jeff Brewer, and it made for quite a meet finish for the couple’s modest, five-horse stable.

“But that wasn’t the biggest triumph of the week for the 70-year-old Froschauer, who is a jack of all trades when it comes to colorful pursuits.

“On Christmas Day, one of the songs on the Christmas album he recorded in 2011 with Dale Walton — “Dayton’s king of rock ‘n’ roll,” as he calls him — became a surprising run-away hit this holiday season, outperforming the offerings of legends like Elvis Presley, Dolly Parton, Reba McEntire, Alan Jackson and Bing Crosby.”
