Winning Ponies

Talk Derby to me! will be the theme of our Kentucky Derby/Oaks show and we've landed a multiple award-winning turf writer and one of the most respected handicappers on the national racing scene. John is on the backstretch of Churchill Downs this week and there he caught up with Tom Law of the Saratoga Special who is covering the Derby for the Irish Times. Tom should have plenty of information on trainer Aiden O'Brien and his smashing 3-year-old Mendelssohn, recent winner of the UAE Derby by 18 1/2 lengths! Dan Illman will take a break from his duties as the point man at the Daily Racing Form to join the conversation. He should shine plenty of light on the East Coast invaders coming to Louisville for the big two-day event that is loaded with plenty of stakes action. Dan will also tell us about featured coverage at DRF.com over the two days by their many writers and reporters.
