LENNY SHULMAN AND STEVE HASKIN VIDEO CHAT "AND THEY'RE OFF" NOW AVAILABLE ON BLOODHORSE.COM
From the potential clunkers to those whom the "Derby Gods" may look favorably upon come Saturday, Shulman and Haskin hash out some of the key issues on the minds of many surrounding Kentucky Derby 134.
Lexington, Ky. - The maiden edition of BloodHorse.com's "And They're Off" hosted by veteran Blood-Horse turf writers Lenny Shulman and Steve Haskin is now available on BloodHorse.com. During the lively 13 minute video, the opinionated and insightful duo engage in a light-hearted and entertaining debate on various topics surrounding Saturday's running of the Kentucky Derby presented by Yum! Brands at Louisville's Churchill Downs.
Does Todd Pletcher need to "loosen up"? Is the Derby media annoying or just doing its job? What is the "Barricade Curse" on Churchill's backside? Has the time come to throw the rule book into the nearest trash can? All this and much more will be answered during the current episode of "And They're Off."
Episode Two of "And They're Off" will be available on BloodHorse.com on Derby eve, Friday, May 2, and will include Shulman's and Haskin's analysis of the Derby field and reveal the duo's picks for who will enter Thoroughbred racing history by winning "the greatest two minutes in sports" on Saturday.
To watch episode one of "And They're Off" visit BloodHorse.com.
