Ep. 19: Thoroughbred Industry Leaders Change the Game for the BLC this Kentucky Derby 150
Manage episode 416046451 series 3336442
On this episode of Behind the Backstretch, we have a packed lineup for the 150th running of the Kentucky Derby! With major BLC supporter and part-owner Brook Smith enrolling Derby contender Sierra Leone in our Purses for a Purpose initiative, we focus on what this means for our organization. We first speak with Brook about what this week means for him and the BLC, and we then get to chat with Sierra Leone trainer Chad Brown and jockey Tyler Gaffalione as they discuss the upcoming race and their appreciation of the backside community.
Those with Sierra Leone are not the only ones getting in on the action this Derby season. Honor Marie owner Kerry Ribble has recently supported the BLC with a large book donation, as she joins us to discuss how she learned about the organization and the importance of team effort on the backside. Finally, we speak with trainer Cherie DeVaux, as she and bloodstock agent David Ingordo have pledged up to $10,000 of their winnings this Derby week at Churchill Downs to the BLC!
