This episode of The C.L. Brown Show features Kentucky Derby winning jockey Junior Alvarado, who rode Sovereignty to his first-ever win in the Run for the Roses.
Alvarado explains why the health of Sovereignty is at the center of the decision not to run him in the Preakness Stakes. He tells of how a shoulder injury nearly derailed his dreams of riding in the Derby. He also discusses his upcoming fine for using his whip one too many times and the process of trying to keep count of six hits while trying to win the biggest horse race on the planet.
