The three talk about how Stewart is trying to make sure that his guns-blazing entry into the game is sustainable, his attempts to market the sport and increase its outreach/visibility, his background as a horseplayer, the ongoing feud with Mike Repole and more.

The boys then explore the topic of artificial insemination—what are the pros and cons of a breeding mechanism that would totally disrupt the world of Thoroughbreds but is fairly standard in how other animals are bred? They also react to the first weekend of Derby preps following their MAGE Rage Derby Contest, presented by Airdrie Stud, as Michelle Yu jumps out to an early lead.
