Rail Talk Episode 28: All About Gun Runner

This week on Rail Talk, Joe Bianca and Jon Green react to a soggy but star-studded Saturday at Fair Grounds, where progeny of Gun Runner—including impressive Derby contender Sierra Leone—took center stage, as they so often do. They also said farewell to his brilliant daughter Echo Zulu and debated whether or not her career is Hall of Fame-worthy before touching on the issues being caused by the proliferation of computer-assisted wagering. Joe and Jon then welcomed in Ocala Stud general manager David O’Farrell to discuss how the family business has managed to stand out in a crowded stallion landscape, the safety improvements at 2-year-old sales and more.
