"WIN, PLACE, SHOW saddles up for a two-hour ride through the "Sport of Kings," introducing the legendary figures that have carved out their place in racing lore.
Through the eyes of racing historians, we'll follow the rise of Saratoga Springs as the sport's home, and track the career of its greatest champion, Man o' War. Find out why he never ran at the Kentucky Derby, and see how that race eventually became the sport's showcase. Next up is the one true dynasty in thoroughbred racing, Kentucky's Calumet Farm, which produced horses like Whirlaway and Citation, ridden by legendary jockey Eddie Arcara and trained by Ben and Jimmy Jones. Other winners have been picked up at auction, and we'll get an inside look at the conventions of this arcane institution. Finally, WIN, PLACE, SHOW examines the state of racing today, relegated to the back columns of sports pages and searching for its place in a changed world.
Filled with glorious footage of past champions and engaging commentary from jockeys, owners, trainers and other insiders, this is an unforgettable run through the history of a sport like none other."
