The entire sports world was buzzing this weekend about one massive event, and you can be sure the talking heads will be talking about the finish all day today.
The real question is what they’ll be talking about after they cover the Third Time Derby.
We’re joking, of course. We know they’ll move on to the Crown Prep Sprint Series and everything that went down in the biggest 12 races of the week at PFL.
Sorry, ESPN — scooped! We got it covered here in this week’s Crown Prep Weekly first.

Third Time Derby Champion: Phosphorescent | Wolaf Farms
This week’s Third Time Derby champion, Phosphorescent, comes courtesy of Wolaf Farms!
How about a 2 yr old with 9 wins in its first 11 starts taking down the biggest race of them all? That’s a LeBron James-level career arch.

Real Money Racing Record
Remember when they used to call it “funny money”? Me neither.
The PFL real money racing is becoming increasingly high stakes, as 12 of the best racehorses from the finest stables on the platform threw down on a little pre-Super Bowl fun.
The $120 prize pool was a record for real money testing, with Pocono Stables and Hundred Acre bringing home the first-place prize of $54.
We have a feeling this record will not stand very long, but for now, we’re hyped about it.
