Churchill Downs R12 Kentucky Derby presented by Woodford Reserve G1

If you haven't seen it, here's a link to a great interview with Aiden O'Brien about the experience. He is all class and one of the very best trainers in the world. I found his comments on the American Racing culture particularly interesting. Racing is so different all around the world, on dirt, grass, etc. https://www.racinguk.com/news/ten-th...kentucky-derby
