The Triple Crown – and horse racing in general – is filled to the brim with emotion and beautiful imagery. Author, researcher and historian Jennifer Kelly tries to convey emotion through words on a page in her new book The Foxes of Belair, about the father-son Triple Crown-winning duo Gallant Fox and Omaha. She explains how she takes the viewer on a trip through time to make it seem like century-old events happened just yesterday. And for Mage's co-owner and bloodstock agent Ramiro Restrepo, winning the Kentucky Derby a month ago still feels like it was yesterday. Hear from him later on in the episode about his 15 year journey from the Tampa Bay Downs winner's circle to standing under the spires of Churchill Downs, as well as his family's decades-long efforts to succeed in horse racing.
