The Kentucky Derby is always a big deal in the Bluegrass state and we wanted to celebrate the big race in our own way here on "The Cards & Cats Countdown". So this week's podcast is all about Churchill Downs as Clay Ables, our co-host, attended both the Kentucky Derby and Oaks as a member of the press. Clay tells all sorts of great stories from his experience at racing's premier event, including some about the celebrities that he met while covering the event. He also delves into the wonderful world of betting as he talks about his secret to gambling success at the track. His best story revolves around the Derby race itself, which nearly won Clay a $14,000 prize! So if you are a horse racing or Derby junkie looking for an insider's perspective on the entire event, look no further than our Kentucky Derby podcast right here on The Kentucky Blog. It's full of eventful stories that paint a picture about what it's like to attend horse racing's biggest event with a backstage pass.
