About this episode

This episode discusses the excitement and culture surrounding the 2026 Kentucky Derby.

This weekend, high stakes, big money & hundreds of race fans descend on Churchill Downs in Louisville for the 2026 Kentucky Derby. So much surrounding a two-minute race: high society rubbing elbows with professional gamblers. Twenty young horses racing to win, jockeys and teams hoping for a shot at immortality. And that’s to say nothing of the hats. — Slices is created by Scott Sigler and A B Kovacs — Produced by Steve Riekeberg — Production Assistance by Allie Press — Copyright 2026 by Empty Set Entertainment A New Career Deserves a New Domain Name Sky high headwear affixed securely to my head, I’m off to the races and using our GoDaddy Promo Code CJCFOSSIG3 to score my new blog for ninety-nine percent off the first year.
