In this episode, we're going to take a bit of a diversion and put our focus on horses, specifically on racehorses, and specifically on the Kentucky Derby. This year, the first Saturday in May is May 3rd, and it will mark the 151 running of the Kentucky Derby. We will also review the history of this classic Americal horserace. Hosted By Myron Hieronymous Thomas.

In this episode Myron Hieronymous Thomas presents the history of the Preakness horse race. The 150th running of the Preakness Stakes will be held Saturday, May 17th, 2025. The history of the Preakness is interesting that while it's the 150th running of the Preakness Stakes this year and the Derby was the 151st running, the Preakness actually ran two years before the Kentucky Derby, when Pimlico introduced its new stakes race for three-year-olds in 1873.

The 2025 Belmont Stakes will be run on Saturday, June 7th at Saratoga Race Course. The 157th running of the Belmont Stakes will feature a $2 million purse. The 157th running of the Belmont Stakes is on Saturday 7 June 2025 at 6:50 p.m. EDT and will be shorter than the usual 1 +1⁄2 miles (12 furlongs; 2,414 meters) due to Saratoga's smaller main dirt track. In this Episode host Myron Hieronymous Thomas provides a history of The Test of Champions!

In this episode we feature "The Adventure of Silver Blaze", one of the 56 Sherlock Holmes short stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, is the first from the 12 in the cycle collected as The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes. It was first published in The Strand Magazine in December 1892.[1]

Doyle considered "Silver Blaze" among his favourite Sherlock Holmes stories.[2] One of the most popular Sherlock Holmes short stories, "Silver Blaze" focuses on the disappearance of the eponymous race horse (a famous winner, owned by a Colonel Ross) on the eve of an important race and on the apparent murder of its trainer. The tale is distinguished by its atmospheric Dartmoor setting and late-Victorian sporting milieu. The plotting hinges on the "curious incident of the dog in the night-time", Read by Myron Hieronymous Thomas.
