Rail Talk Episode 88: At Long Last, It’s Derby Time

This week on Rail Talk! The Kentucky Derby is finally upon us, and Joe Bianca and Jon Green celebrate making it through the cold winter with a legitimate chance to take home the trophy in the 151st Run for the Roses. Joe and Jon give their honest reactions to Sandman drawing post 17, how they’d like to see the race unfold and what contenders they’re most worried about. They then welcome NBC Sports’ six-time Emmy-winning senior producer Lindsay Schanzer to take us behind the curtain on what it takes to broadcast an event as unique as the Derby. The boys also discuss the Kentucky Oaks, give one last rundown of the Mage Rage Derby contest leaderboard and appreciate an in-foal mare dominating on the racetrack in the Epic Performance of the Week.
