As the “First Saturday in May” is upon us, the bigger than life Kentucky Derby is here. Kerry Thomas, pioneer of Sensory Soundness and Herd Dynamics, joins Andy for a look into what makes a horse “tick” and what is required of a 3-year-old colt/filly when embarking on the Run for the Roses. What is the best inner confirmation of a horse that is only 3 years old? What isn’t? How important is the synergy between man (jockey) and horse? When is it time to sprint and when is it time to jog? The fascinating Kerry Thomas shares his feelings about Kentucky Derby 151. 


Rich “Beemer” Beem drops in to chat about the upcoming Tour stop at TPC Craig Ranch (McKinney, TX). Beemer has built a large bankroll over Andy due to huge success in the past couple of PGA events. Both discuss their picks and why in what should be a muddy, off-course outside of Dallas.


In this episode:

  • Why every racehorse has a “competitive clock”

  • Managing “burn time”: Why timing high-speed moves is key

  • How much the jockey really matters - and what happens when they don’t match the horse

  • How Mystic Dan’s Derby win proved what happens when jockey and horse are perfectly in sync

  • Beemer vs Andy: Who’s got the edge this week?
