With the major prep races on the road to the Kentucky Derby (G1) just

underway, HRTV will offer racing fans the latest, up-to-date information on the

exciting Triple Crown trail when it premieres the weekly "Pursuit of the Crown,

edition of the "Run for the Roses" from Churchill Downs, set for May 7, but the

entire Triple Crown road -- the May 21 Preakness (G1)) from Pimlico and the

Belmont S. (G1) at Belmont Park on June 11.

HRTV's Laffit Pincay III and Jeff Siegel will again co-anchor the

rapidly-paced show, delivering the latest in weekly Derby happenings. It will

again feature weekly insights from Hall of Fame jockey and HRTV analyst Gary

jockeys, of possible Derby/Triple Crown contenders, in addition to offering

analysis and profiles of the top contenders for the Derby from HRTV's experts.
