From the Churchill Downs Media Team:

“Inside Churchill Downs” will begin its eighth season on ESPN Louisville’s ESPN 680/105.7 when it returns to the airwaves for a 34-week run Friday at 6 p.m. (all times Eastern).

The weekly one-hour, commercial free, horse racing radio show will be co-hosted by Churchill Downs Racetrack’s Darren Rogers and Kevin Kerstein with TwinSpires.com handicapper Scott Shapiro. Each week the program will deliver a wide-ranging list of interesting guests from jockeys, trainers, well-informed handicappers and other industry experts.

Friday’s show will feature veteran journalist Jay Privman, a member of the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame’s Joe Hirsch Media Roll of Honor, for analysis of the Road to the Kentucky Derby.

Those outside the Louisville radio market can listen live online at www.espnlouisville.com or via podcast on the station’s website.
