In this week's episode, Jay and Gabe spend time with Joe Kristufek, a professional horse racing analyst and advocate at Churchill Downs. Originally from Chicago, Joe found his way into the horse racing industry almost by chance. An avid sports fan and journalism student, Joe quickly learned that the world of horse racing involved much more than what was happening on the track. Fast forward a few decades, and Joe eventually found his way to the heart of horse racing country: Louisville, KY.Now a professional analyst at Churchill Downs, and a partner in the successful Brilliant Racing team, Joe has seen the industry from all sides imaginable. In this episode, Joe breaks down how the sport of kings involves more moving parts than most Louisvillians realize; even those who frequently find themselves in the shadows of the Twin Spires.
