On this month’s episode of the Behind the Backstretch podcast, we have an action-packed lineup of individuals who are all playing various roles in this year’s Kentucky Derby & Oaks!
First, we get to hear from assistant trainer Jorge Abrego, who works with Brad Cox and has four horses in this year’s Kentucky Derby. He discusses his unique journey, the excitement that comes with being an assistant trainer during the Derby season, and his past involvement with the BLC.

We hear about her role along the backstretch, what’s it like working with this year’s contenders, updates on her brother Jesús who just landed a gig as a jockey, her involvement with the BLC and much more!
Finally, we talk with Katie Tolbert who is also an assistant trainer for Brad Cox, as she details her love of horse racing, what it’s like being a woman in the Thoroughbred industry, her excitement in the lead up to Derby, and the importance of backstretch workers.
