Rail Talk Episode 49: A Lazarus Encore

This week on Rail Talk, Joe Bianca and Jon Green welcome back HISA CEO Lisa Lazarus for another illuminating, substantive discussion about a wide variety of racing’s hot-button topics. Joe and Jon ask about the improved breakdown statistics from the first quarter of 2024, the rationale behind HISA’s deferment of metformin suspensions, HISA’s investigative powers, the successful pressure campaign forcing Louisiana’s about-face on its attempt to loosen drug regulations and much more. The boys also celebrate some big wins for the ‘home teams’ of DJ Stable and West Point Thoroughbreds and look forward to the respective debuts of Rail Talk family horses Burner Account and Mean to Me! Nowhere else in the racing world are these kinds of in-depth conversations being had.
