Rail Talk Episode 54: Straight A’s for This Sophomore Class

This week on Rail Talk! Joe Bianca and Jon Green react to a stellar weekend of racing, including a thrilling Jim Dandy that drove home the realization that this crop of 3-year-olds is pretty, pretty good. They then take a look forward to what’s shaping up to be a Travers for the ages and also preview plenty of great action in the meantime, including a 12-horse Whitney leading into the Fasig-Tipton Saratoga sale. Later on, the boys discuss all of the seemingly avoidable mishaps that we’ve seen at NYRA tracks so far this year, and appreciate the continually declining fatality numbers released by HISA in their Q2 metrics report. Do the opponents of HISA really want to reverse all of that progress? Finally, the gang all wishes a very happy birthday to producer Patty Wolfe with a cacophony of off-key singing voices.
