Rail Talk Episode 92: New York New York & The Research Dept.

This week on Rail Talk! Joe Bianca and Jon Green are back at their mics, refreshed from a week away and buzzing about Belmont Stakes week at Saratoga, as the Derby 1-2-3 reconvene at the Spa in what could be a classic renewal on the greatest stage in racing. Joe and Jon tackle that, plus the rest of a stacked two days featuring nine total Grade I’s, and wonder whether the popular Sandman’s absence will have any effect on the race’s ratings or handle. The boys then celebrate more good news for New York racing, as the Breeders’ Cup returns to Belmont Park for the first time in 22 years in 2027, and new penny breakage rules will pay out every cent on winning wagers starting in September.
