Winning Ponies

With a little over a week left until the Run for the Roses we brought back two guest handicappers to sort out the deep field of talent taking shape for the Derby... Cleveland rocks! And things will be rocking again as Thistledown opens its doors this week. Joining us is Rich Ruda who hosts the on-air handicapping show and pays plenty of attention to the national racing. Rich will give us an overview of the upcoming season and he and John will weigh in on their observations of the Kentucky Derby field that is slowly coming together as one of the deepest group assembled in recent memory. Daily Racing Form's breeding columnist Joe Nevills will analyze the Kentucky Derby field from a pedigree perspective. Who can get the distance and who can't? Always a factor in the first - and perhaps the only time - the field of twenty will go the mile and quarter distance.
