It's KSR's Kentucky Derby 152 handicapping extravaganza. I'm Nick Rosh, and as always, we are joined by Peter Thomas Fornettel. You know them as PTF from In The Money Media. The first Saturday in May is right around the corner, five days away. You're probably watching this sooner if you aren't watching it live.

viewers and hear what you have to say about some of these races. But yeah, this is Christmas

1:01.6

And at the price he's going to be still being bet down to gosh i mean he's still

2:19.5

going to be five to one probably maybe six to one at the outside i would guess and for a horse
