Rail Talk Episode 151: A New Era for New York

This week on Rail Talk! Joe Bianca and Jon Green are back at their mics after a week away, and the talk of the town is the opening of the brand new Belmont Park. Joe spent the weekend at the new $500-million facility, and reports back with his full review of his experience, and what it means for New York racing to have a modern racetrack ushering in a new era for the sport in the Empire State. The boys also discuss an eventful racing weekend, highlighted by global superstar Forever Young’s victory in the Jockey Club Gold Cup, the Pennsylvania Derby and Cotillion at Parx, and look forward to a big weekend to come, which features champion Nitrogen running in the Beldame at the new Belmont and champion Super Corredora returning in the Zenyatta at Santa Anita. The brilliant NYRA handicapper and TV analyst Andy Serling also stops by for an excellent conversation about the Belmont, past, present and future, the reimagined Triple Crown, his opinion on the state of HISA and much more.
