John David Mercer-USA TODAY Sports

It’s a big weekend for races as the Kentucky Derby kicks off tomorrow, followed up by the Miami Grand Prix on Sunday. First up, we hear from Senior Writer Mike McCarthy on Ian Rapoport’s foray into horse racing. He gives us all the details on Rapoport’s horse in the derby, and how he got involved with Churchill Downs in the first place.

Next, we’re joined by the Miami Dolphins’ Chief Revenue Officer Jeremy Walls to give us an inside look on the Miami Grand Prix. He lets us know what’s new to this year’s event, how Miami is bringing its own cultural flavor to Formula 1, and the city’s expected economic impact from the race.
