The Kentucky Derby prides itself on being the longest-running sporting event in the United States. But amid the mint juleps, the extravagant hats and sartorial finery, there is a history behind the Run for the Roses that’s hidden from the limelight. Much in the way that the history of slavery, the Civil War and Reconstruction can get spun into an alternative narrative of genteel white Southern virtues, an important African American contribution to a key sports and cultural institution has been whitewashed. For the 145th running of the Kentucky Derby, "Arrive Early, Leave Late" takes a different turn, as Beto Durán (@DuranSports) sits down with national correspondent Kurtis Lee (@kurtisalee) to talk about his Column One piece on the little known story of the African American jockeys who rode to victory in the early days of Churchill Downs.

Welcome to the Bill Plaschke Show!

Host Beto Duran welcomes Brady McCollough (USC Beat Reporter) and Nathan Fenno (Enterprise Reporter) to discuss the impact on the sports department at USC due to last week's series of arrests, indictments, and firings after the FBI uncovered a nationwide college admissions scandal. Are last week's arrests and firings the end of this matter or is there more to uncover? Brady McCollough discusses this and the shift from covering USC football and other sports to investigating the legal aspects of this situation. How many athletic department members at USC have been arrested at USC in the last 18 months? Nathan Fenno reviews the larger epidemic of a scandal plagued institution. Is this a series of rogue individuals or is a larger department effort at play here?
