Episode 123: GROUNDHOG DAY, AGAIN?

from Rail Talk Podcast Hosted by Rail Talk

This week on Rail Talk! Joe Bianca and Jon Green take you behind the curtain of a huge racing weekend that featured mixed results for the home teams, as Nitrogen returns a winner in her 4-year-old debut while Super Corredora and Counting Stars lay eggs in their sophomore bows. What went into the decision to run Nitrogen so soon after the Breeders’ Cup? And how do owners deal with the disappointment when top horses simply don’t show up? The boys then welcome dual Hall of Famer Mark Casse, fresh off being named the new chairman of Ocala Breeders’ Sales. The always thoughtful Casse holds court on his three weekend stakes winners at Oaklawn, his vision for the future of 2-year-old sales, the potential need for a racing commissioner and much more. Joe and Jon also tackle the latest in the legislative battle to keep racing alive in Florida and the ongoing infighting between Mike Repole and The Jockey Club.
