Today, Dave “Buzz” Baker and I take a look at the three preps for this year’s Kentucky Derby, scheduled for the First Saturday in May at the world’s most prestigious and historic racing venue — The Churchill Downs.

We look at the G2 Fountain of Youth, which will be held today at Gulfstream Park.

We look at the G3 Gotham Stakes, which will be held today at Aqueduct.

And…

We look at the G2 Rebel Stakes, which will be run at Oaklawn Park on Sunday.

Take 13 minutes out of your life and listen to our analysis.

It may help make today a tad more profitable.

Who knows.
