PTF and JK are here to talk about a weekend full of BC prep races. Was the DQ the right call? What happened to McKinzie in the Awesome Again? Does JK still want to beat Midnight Bisou in the Distaff? Who will be the 3yo champ and why? Our answers to these and many other questions lie herein.

Today's show begins with PTF and JK talking about the latest reporting from Tim Layden on the Justify controversy before segueing into a discussion about many of the various Breeders' Cup preps this weekend in New York and California.
