Churchill Downs Backside Preview Prior to Kentucky Derby 2012

This morning I once again was out at Churchill Downs to take in some of the works and get a feel of the atmosphere in the barn area before the true madness begins in a couple weeks. Just after 9 AM mother nature opened up and it started to absolutely pour. Luckily things were starting to wrap up, but there were still quite a few horses on the track. With possible Derby contenders still being shipped throughout the country, there is only one horse that will likely be in the race this year that is stabled at Churchill Downs - that is Daddy Nose Best. Below is a video of a little preview of what the backside of Churchill Downs looks like for those of you who do not know. Believe me, this site will be completely different in a couple weeks.



Well, it's off to Keeneland to check out the Bluegrass. Be sure to check out Kentucky Derby Contenders for more information about the Kentucky Derby and the remaining prep races

Meet Kevin Kerstein 

Long story short, I took the long road getting involved in the industry. I did not get into horse racing until 2008 when I came to Louisville for college.

I'm originally from outside of Philadelphia and attend college at Bellarmine University in Louisville, Kentucky. Since I was 15 I was involved with working in radio and TV. I first covered horse racing at the 2011 Kentucky Derby and my passion just continues to grow. Let the early mornings begin and the Derby fever heat up as we hit the backside to get the exclusive stories leading up to the first Saturday in May.
