“We’re thrilled to have Off to the Races back on the air,” said Frank Vespe, owner and publisher of The Racing Biz, which presents the program. “We’re looking forward to another season filled with great guests, good banter, and plenty of laughs.”

Saturday’s show will include visits from Preakness- and Belmont-winning trainer Kenny McPeek and from handicapper and racing commentator Barry Spears.

McPeek, whose horses have earned nearly $96 million in his training career, has horses running from coast-to-coast on Saturday. He has Kentucky Derby hopeful Rattle N Roll entered in the Fountain of Youth at Gulfstream Park, where that runner is 8-1. He also has Tiz the Bomb entered in the John Battaglia Memorial at Turfway, another Kentucky Derby points race, and he has three others entered at each of these two tracks. And for good measure, he’ll have Envoutante in the Grade 1 Beholder Mile at Santa Anita Park.
