This is the Mark Simone show on the voice of New York 710 W.O.R.

Well, our friend Bernadette Castro, a great name in the business world, government,

and one of the great people on Long Island is going to tell us what's going on out there too.

Bernadette Castro, how you doing?

I'm doing great, Mark. It's a beautiful day and a great start to a great weekend. But thanks for having me on because I've got to talk about tomorrow morning. Tomorrow night. Oh, no. You're not getting up to watch that coronation, are you? No, no, no. Oh. And I'll do respect. I'm not. Oh, good. Starting tomorrow, though, like at 4 o'clock, you can start to see interviews of the trainers, the jockeys, the Kentucky Derby, the most watched, most important, two-minute sporting event, event period and if you love just beautiful

horses you know i'm not saying that i never bet but one of the trainers todd pledger is my good

friend oh from ocala florida he's the biggest money winning trainer in the history of

north america he'll have three horses in the race tomorrow,

one of them being a favorite. But you know what's weird? And then I'll get off this. The derby

is a tough one to bet on because it's a huge field. I mean, they sometimes have 18 horses.

So you can get a long shot to come in second, third, occasionally to win, which has happened. So it's a great sporting event. I hope everybody tunes in and watches. Yeah, I'm not... You know, I like NASCAR. I like Formula One. You ever watch those races? They go for like three hours. They do 500 miles. These horses run for like 25 seconds. That's the race. Two minutes. Two minutes.

Make them run that track like 25 times. Then we'll see. No, but honestly, they are such

gorgeous animals and it is such pomp and circumstance and the hats and Churchill Downs. And

it's a happening.'s worth watching but anyway

I don't know watch NASCAR they show up they got patches all over the jacket they don't wear

those silly hats they got baseball hats with the with the listen yes speaking of important

things and people I had dinner with Cindy Adams a couple nights ago this woman's on real

I'm gonna take a guess at who got the check people. I had dinner with Cindy Adams a couple nights ago. This woman's on her.

I'm going to take a guess at who got the check.

I took the check.
