View Larger Image

Editor’s Note:

Today, Buzz and I take a look at the G1 Haskell Stakes at Monmouth Park. My primary pick for this year’s Kentucky Derby — Further Ado — will face a stellar field that includes the likes of G1 Preakness Stakes winner Napoleon Solo and G1 Florida Derby runner-up The Puma.

Take a listen.

We enjoyed doing it.

Hope you enjoy listening.
