Netflix released the official trailer on Wednesday for Race For The Crown, a documentary series th Netflix released the official trailer on Wednesday for Race For The Crown, a documentary series that will tail jockeys, trainers, and owners through the Triple Crown of Thoroughbred horse racing.
Jockey Brian Hernandez, Jr., winner of last year's Kentucky Derby and Kentucky Oaks, was featured in the opening scenes of the trailer. Other big names shown in the two-minute trailer included owners Mike Repole, John Stewart, and Michael Iavarone; trainers Ken McPeek, Brad Cox, Todd Pletcher, and Bob Baffert; and jockeys Frankie Dettori and Flavien Prat.
According to Netflix fan site Tudum, "the new series follows horse owners and jockeys over the course of a Grade 1 stakes Thoroughbred racing season. The Kentucky Derby is commonly known as 'the most exciting two minutes in sports,' but there’s so much more that goes on behind the scenes, both before and after the Run for the Roses. Race for the Crown explores horse racing across six in-depth episodes, covering the thrilling journey from the Breeders' Cup to the Triple Crown. Plus, the racing world is full of colorful and controversial characters — including billionaire business tycoons and horse-doping trainers — which leads to plenty of intense rivalries fueled by million-dollar investments and insatiable appetites for glory."
Other jockeys expected to be featured in the docuseries include: Katie Davis, Umberto Rispoli, Antonio Fresu, Irad Ortiz, Jr., John Velazquez, Javier Castellano, Florent Geroux, Jose Ortiz, and Luis Saez.
All six episodes of the series will be released on April 22. Race for the Crown is executive produced by James Gay-Rees, Paul Martin, Hillary Olsen, Warren Smith, and Ian Sambor at Box to Box, and co-executive produced by Tim Stampher and Jordan Bogdonavage.
