Rail Talk Episode 59: A Saratoga Wrap & A Kim Valerio Chat

This week on Rail Talk! Joe Bianca and Jon Green put a bow on the Saratoga meet, which features a dazzling array of outstanding performances, but most importantly, boasted a safety record that was night and day from last year’s disaster. The boys give kudos all around, including to Flavien Prat for his record-setting meet, before debating whether or not the boutique meet should be expanded to start July 4 weekend. Later on, Joe and Jon are joined by ace bloodstock agent Kim Valerio, who gives listeners the lowdown on how she picks out horses, what’s needed to improve the backstretch conditions for our athletes and her evolution on HISA.
