Kentucky Derby and Oaks winning trainer, Kenny McPeek, joined our friends at The Owner’s Box to catch up on all of the happenings in his barn, led by star filly, Thorpedo Anna. Speaking of Thorpedo Anna, JK and I had a great conversation about the chances of her running in the Travers Stakes next month, which you can find below or on YouTube.
Other great content from the week includes new episodes of BCBC Diaries, HorsePlayers’ Happy Hour, Redboard Rewind, and Can Do. Plus, our good friend from across the pond, Steven Bonnick, was kind enough to provide a horse-by-horse preview of tomorrow’s King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes, a Breeders’ Cup Win and You’re In race.
