Eclipse Award-winning writer and handicapper John Scheinman will discuss his long-range views on the 3-year-old crop and specific horses in the Derby itself. Tim Layden pays tribute to his predecessor as Sports Illustrated’s turf writer with a look back on the life of the late Bill Nack, who died last Friday. Feedback from listeners via social media is also included this week. The RFRP is sponsored by ForHims.com/Racing. Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com

S1E26: The Derby field and memories of Bill Nack

Few writers have captured the brilliance and majesty of the Thoroughbred as well as Bill Nack.

In this episode of Around the Track, Nack relives some of his favorite moments at the races and behind the scenes and shares compelling and amusing stories about his life's work.  Listen in....
