Today, Larry goes one-on-one with champion jockey Flo Geroux, who returns to the show following a major career decision to relocate his tack to Santa Anita Park in California. With more than two thousand three hundred career wins and mounts earning over one hundred eighty-nine million dollars, Geroux reflects on the accomplishments that have defined his riding career, including a Kentucky Derby victory and multiple Breeders’ Cup triumphs. He discusses how his journey began in France, the transition to racing in North America, and the key differences between the two racing environments. Florent also talks about his decision to make the move to California, whether it could become a long-term change, and what goals remain on his riding bucket list. He shares memories of champion Gun Runner, the influence of fellow riders who helped shape his career, and the major races he still hopes to win.

Also today, Ren Carothers joins the program from Tampa Bay Downs, where the spotlight falls on the two hundred fifty thousand dollar Sam F. Davis Stakes, an important Kentucky Derby prep contested at a mile and a sixteenth on dirt. Ren breaks down the Sam Davis field, discusses historical trends from past runnings of the race, and evaluates contenders in the supporting Suncoast Stakes for three-year-old fillies. He explains his personal handicapping philosophy, reflects on how he first became involved in horse racing, and identifies any Derby hopefuls from the early prep season who have caught his attention heading toward the first Saturday in May.

Then, Ontario Thoroughbred breeder Sherry McLean joins the show for the first time. Owner of Northern Dawn Farms, Sherry finished fifth among breeders in two thousand twenty-five breeder award earnings through the government-supported Thoroughbred Improvement Program. She explains why breeder awards are vital—especially for smaller breeding operations—how the award system works from yearling sale through race success, and how breeders benefit financially. Sherry also reflects on how she entered the Thoroughbred industry, the mentors who influenced her path, and the horses that have shaped her passion for breeding in Ontario.
