Off to the Races Radio: March 25, 2023

Off to the Races Radio presented by The Racing Biz returned March 25 with a show featuring trainer Ken McPeek and author Jennifer Kelly.

McPeek, who conditioned the filly Swiss Skydiver to a win in the 2020 Preakness Stakes, has won more than 1,900 races in his career. He has two runners in Saturday’s Grade 2 Louisiana Derby — Sun Thunder and Dennington — and another in the Grade 3 Jeff Ruby Steaks (Escapologist) as the road to the Triple Crown heats up.

Kelly pens a monthly column, BackTracks, on The Racing Biz focusing on great horses of years gone by. She is the author of two books, Sir Barton and the making of the Triple Crown, which was published in 2019, and the forthcoming Foxes of Belair about Gallant Fox and Omaha, who remain the only father-son duo both to win the Triple Crown.
