Host Derek Simon gives listeners the finger — literally — as he explains his recent absence from social media, pays tribute to Tom Durkin, and discusses the gutsy performance of Wise Dan in last Saturday’s Bernard Baruch Handicap.

In the I Need to Know segment, Derek answers a listener e-mail by explaining the difference between pace, energy, running style and the various units of measurement (miles per hour, feet per second, etc.).

Lastly, in the Handicapping segment, Derek presents the Century Dream Breeders' Cup Classic powered by Brisnet.com and narrated by Mike Battaglia.
