Get ready for a full-blown breakdown of the 152nd Kentucky Derby with VSiN Network’s Patrick Mohler, as he dives into a field of 20 unpredictable contenders where nothing feels safe and everything feels live. This year’s “Run for the Roses” has that true demolition derby energy, loaded with favorites, lurking long shots, and a draw that could shake everything up before the gates even open. From the one-hole curse to late-rising contenders, the margins are razor-thin and the storylines are everywhere.

Mohler leans into the strategy behind it all, how winners are really built in this race long before the first stride, from breeding powerhouses in Kentucky to training pipelines in Florida that quietly produce champions. He breaks down key names like Renegade, So Happy, and his own long-shot swing in Emerging Market, while also tracking dangerous contenders like The Puma and Commandment. And woven through it all is the shadow of Secretariat’s legacy, still shaping expectations, comparisons, and belief in what’s possible every time the gates open on Derby Day.
