Episode 10 - Kentucky Oaks and Kentucky Derby 2022 with Joe Nevills and Natalie Voss Nevills

Based in Fact

In Episode 10, Lisa talked to Joe Nevills (and Natalie Voss Nevills) about the 148th Kentucky Oaks and Kentucky Derby being held on May 6 and May 7, 2022. Lisa has loved horses and ponies all of her life and has been a fan of horse racing since Secretariat won the Triple Crown in 1973. She's experienced the joy of seeing five Triple Crown winners in her lifetime and the heartbreak when young horses like Ruffian, Eight Belles and Barbaro couldn't be saved after an injury. Our lives have highs and lows, but we keep moving forward and horse racing is no different. Those connected to the industry do what they do because they love the horses and they love the sport. Her first guest, Joe Nevills, is the Bloodstock Editor at The Paulick Report, a turf writer, Arabian enthusiast and expert and Eclipse Award winner for his feature article Biting the Dust: A Long Goodbye to Mount Pleasant Meadows. Joe’s love for horses comes from his family’s Belgian draft horses and his grandfather’s thoroughbreds who raced on Michigan tracks. Her second guest was Natalie Voss Nevills, 3-time Eclipse award winning writer and Editor-in-Chief at The Paulick Report, who has embarked on a new journey with OTTB Underscore, lovingly known as Blueberry. Natalie’s 2020 Eclipse Awards were for articles in both the writing and feature/commentary categories. Her feature article was titled, “An Angel on His Shoulder” This Thoroughbred’s Fate was Writen in Ink.
