The Kenny Rice Horse Racing Show - Episode 16

On episode 16 of The Horse Racing Show, Kenny Rice explores the ins and outs of the 145th Kentucky Derby. It's the Derby that people will talk about for years to come, due in large part to the disqualification of race winner Maximum Security. After multiple requests for inquiry from jockeys, the steward's room ruled that Maximum Security would place 17th and Country House would be named this year's Kentucky Derby winner. NYRA and NBC announcer Larry Collmus talks about his career calling horse racing, from his early days as an 18-year-old all the way up to calling the Triple Crown races. Larry also gives his take on the Kentucky Derby disqualification controversy and what it means for horse racing as a sport. Lexington Herald Leader writer Mark Story discusses his article on the Kentucky Derby controversy with Kenny, asking the question "What's Changed?" about the Run for the Roses in modern times. Washington Post sports reporter and columnist Chuck Culpepper speaks about how the general world of sports will react to the Kentucky Derby controversy, what role officiating plays in all kinds of sports, and elaborates on his international career as a sports journalist.
