00:00When you get to a historical number in the Derby, like a 50-year, 100-year, 150-year,
00:08it's a time to look back at some of the great horses, the great races, and the participants
00:12as well.
00:13And I know that you're going to begin doing that on Wednesday, as you said, with Derby-Thon.
00:18And some of the superstars of horse racing are going to be involved as well, aren't they?
00:22Sure.
00:23Yeah, we're going to have some of the great people that cover our game, you know, from
00:27Andy Byard, Randy Moss, to Jerry Bailey, Andy Sherling, and a whole bunch of others.
00:33I mean, we have probably 50 or 60 different personalities that are going to be contributing
00:39content to our Derby-Thon, and it's all for a great cause.
00:42So they're very willing to come on and create interesting content for handicappers.
00:48You know, we're highlighting three different charities.
00:51We're highlighting the Jockey Club Safety Net, which raises money for participants in
00:57our industry who fall on hard times or are injured.
01:01They make some anonymous donations to help people out.
01:05We have the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance, which also, they steward some money for thoroughbred
01:15aftercare companies that take care of our athletes after they left the racetrack.
01:21And then we're raising money for the Permanently Disabled Jockey Fund, which takes care of
01:27jockeys who get injured on the racetrack and are in need.
01:31And you know, all of these charities are very well deserving of our interest, and hopefully
01:36we can get some great donations there, and hopefully they can be well taken care of.
