2022 Kentucky Derby Horses: Analysis, Picks, Odds, “Bet on Taiba to Win”
“Surround yourself around people smarter than you. That’s what I do, and that’s what I’m doing with this 2022 Kentucky Derby Preview Show,” said Jack Culotta, host of the Talk Culotta Sports Podcast, who doesn’t consider himself a trustworthy bettor of horses. That said, horse experts Jim Love and Seth Schmeeckle join the show to illustrate their expertise on the Kentucky Derby.
