Legendary figures from the sport of horse racing are to be featured in a new podcast hosted by Ferrin Peterson. 'The Boundless Podcast' will feature interviews with Hall of Fame jockeys Steve Cauthen, Chris McCarron, Pat Day, and Sandy Hawley.
Available on all recognized platforms, including Apple Podcast, Spotify, and YouTube, the series will kick off Jan. 16 with an hour-long interview with Cauthen, whose outstanding career in the saddle included a historic Triple Crown success on Affirmed in 1978, when he was just 18 years old, before he became the only jockey to win both the Kentucky Derby and Epsom Derby.
It will be the first of 12 episodes to air in a series filmed and produced In Kentucky by Peterson and videographer Jacob Ames.
Patti Cooksey, who became the second female jockey to ride in the Kentucky Derby, and the remarkable septuagenarian Perry Ouzts are scheduled for later in the series.
"I've always wanted to be able to educate and inspire," says Peterson, 32. "Since becoming a jockey I have wanted to build a platform as an athlete. I see that more in other sports but not a lot among US jockeys.
"The people I have talked to have inspiring stories. They were able to go deep into their struggles and how they overcame them."
Peterson continues to ride on the Kentucky circuit while also working as an ER veterinarian across the state's small animal clinics.
"Boundless is a podcast that explores the stories of individuals who have accomplished the seemingly impossible by breaking molds and redefining success through unique challenges, pivotal moments, and unbreakable determination."
