Rail Talk Episode 79: Ren, Rinse, and Repeat

This week on Rail Talk! Joe Bianca and Jon Green discuss the Los Angeles Times article reporting that The Stronach Group has let potential buyers know that Gulfstream Park and Santa Anita are available for the right price. What needs to be done to ensure racing continues in Florida and especially California? What responsibilities do other racing-rich states have in maintaining the industry beyond their borders? Can the situation at Santa Anita be resolved with the installation of Historical Horse Racing machines and how likely are they to be greenlit? Tampa Bay Downs analyst and friend of the show Ren Carothers then jumps on to discuss the weekend’s stakes races, the Derby trail as a whole, and whether or not Tampa could potentially fill the role of Florida’s main Thoroughbred racing hub. The boys also preview this weekend’s Risen Star Stakes at Fair Grounds and update their Mage Rage Derby Contest standings.
