Rail Talk Episode 130: Davids and Goliaths

About this episode

Joe Bianca and Jon Green discuss recent horse racing events and industry insights.

This week on Rail Talk! Joe Bianca and Jon Green are back from Ocala and have plenty to discuss. First, White Abarrio runs down Sovereignty and Journalism in a star-studded Oaklawn Handicap. Might we finally be trending towards standout horses sticking around to race beyond their 3-year-old season? And why is the winner, despite all his accomplishments, still not considered a serious stallion prospect?Then, the boys give their dispatch from the OBS sales grounds, including the record-shattering $10.5-million Flightline colt, and Jon has something to get off his chest about the inertia of The Jockey Club and Breeders’ Cup boards compared to the positive results smaller groups in the industry have gotten.Don’t miss any Rail Talk content!
