Only one podcast featured trainer Eric Reed BEFORE the Kentucky Derby – Winninponies. After the Run for the Roses, Eric stopped his State Trooper escort to come over to our host John Engelhardt. Giving each other a big bearhug, Eric said, “My Man! I’ll be on your show this week too.” A man of his word, no matter how swamped he is with the media camped out along the entrance to his Mercury Training Facility, he will be our first guest. It's only a short time before movie producers are wrestling over the rights to “The Rich Strike Story.” We’ll let Eric describe his early years with his wife Kay and the building blocks to their success at blue-collar tracks to the creation of their Mercury Training Facility, the tragic fire where they lost 23 horses, and the shot in the arm they got from horsemen around to country to rebuild their facility. Oh yes, there’s a great story about winning the Kentucky Derby Eric needs to tell us about too!  This year’s Kentucky Derby was a point in time for the spotlight to shine on many of “the little guys” that make the racing game a great one. Our second guest will be making a return appearance, Jeff Perrin is the agent for Derby winning jockey Sonny Leon. Relatively an unknown until Saturday, Leon, 32, is a native of Venezuela and rides regularly in Ohio at Belterra Park and Mahoning Valley where he has earned multiple riding titles.  The Kentucky Derby was Leon’s first graded stakes win. Since coming to the United States in 2015, Leon has won 770 races from 5,176 mounts with purse earnings of more than $15 million. Jeff Perrin is an interesting story in himself. A native of Australia, we’ll learn how he became involved in the sport and his years long relationship with Sonny.

In a news breaking show our first guest is jockey agent Jeff Perrin who is a native of Sydney, Australia and is now a successful jockey agent in the Midwest. He will be discussing the nuances of finding the right horses for his riders and how to keep his many trainers happy, with his riders in demand being named on several horses in a single race. Perrin has handled the book of Peruvian rider Edgar Paucar and together they have won over 2,500 races. Perrin will be breaking news exclusively right on this show about a new rider he has, that has won titles at three tracks and is returning to a track where he had broken a long-standing record set by Hall of Fame rider Steve Cauthen. Listeners' favorite and former show host Ed Meyer will be our guest handicapper. After analyzing the Derby field, Ed and John will handicap the $200,000 Gr. 3 Derby Trial at Churchill Downs and two Friday graded stakes races - the $250,000 Gr. 2 Elkhorn Stakes at Keeneland and the $100,000 Gr. 3 Last Tycoon Stakes at Santa Anita. Ed will also pull back the curtain on a new position he will be holding in Thoroughbred racing.
