It’s been just a little over a week since Rich Strike shocked the world by winning the Kentucky Derby as an 80-to-1 long shot.
In this episode, we talk with Churchill Downs General Manager Mike Ziegler about that stunning upset and what it means to both the track and horse racing in general. We’ll also talk about the impact of legalized sports betting on horse racing, and what you just cannot miss when you go the Derby.
