Kentucky Derby Preview

Saturday marks the 133rd Run for the Roses, the first jewel in horse racing's Triple Crown. Thursday morning's line favorite is a horse that has run only three races in his entire career. Joe Drape covers horseracing for The New York Times and he joins us from Louisville to preview the derby.

Broadway Legend Chita Rivera
