Rail Talk Episode 58: A Travers for the Ages

This week on Rail Talk! It was shaping up for weeks like a classic Travers, and if anything the race exceeded expectations, as champion colt Fierceness and presumptive champion filly Thorpedo Anna threw down in an all-time stretch drive that no racing fan will ever forget. Joe Bianca and Jon Green react to and appreciate the show that was put on before discussing what it means for the year-end championships and the sport as a whole. It wasn’t just the Travers that thrilled us this week, as an array of dazzling undercard performances were worth analyzing, and the boys even turn their attention across the pond to superstar City of Troy, who legendary trainer Aidan O’Brien stunningly says is the greatest horse he’s ever trained. Joe and Jon also touch on a New York veterinarian in some major hot water, Next potentially finally getting a challenge at the Breeders’ Cup and the upcoming mega-lucrative Kentucky Downs meet. Days like Saturday remind us why we love horse racing, and if you love it too, you absolutely need to be part of the Rail Talk family.
