On this week's episode of Behind the Backstretch, we are focusing on our 3rd annual Derby Handicapping Social taking place on April 16th at the Louisville Thoroughbred Society. This event acts as a kickoff to the Derby season and is a major awareness event for our organization.
Co-hosted by BLC intern Samantha Versocki, we begin by discussing her background and what she has done with the organization so far with her internship. Then, she conducts an interview with former jockey and current analyst Donna Barton Brothers as she discusses her role in our upcoming event, her background in the horse racing industry, the importance of backside workers, and her excitement for Derby 150.
Then, Samantha speaks with Buff Bradley, a former trainer and owner who is currently a board member at the Backside Learning Center. He discusses his current role in the industry, his involvement with the BLC, and what makes the backside community so important to the industry.
