Rail Talk Episode 91:Journalism Won’t Be Denied

This week on Rail Talk! Joe Bianca and Jon Green are back from the Preakness, full of crab cakes and hot takes. Did Journalism prove he’s head and shoulders the leader in this 3-year-old class? What’s the vibe from Team Sandman after his third-place run? How did Pimlico hold up in the final Preakness day at Old Hilltop? The boys then welcome multiple Breeders’ Cup-winning jockey and expert riding analyst Rajiv Maragh in the midst of a slew of jockey-related controversies. We get Raj’s opinion on the scary-looking incident involving Umberto Rispoli and Flavien Prat—aboard Journalism and Goal Oriented, respectively—at the top of the lane in the Preakness, as well as the heavy fine imposed on Junior Alvarado for exceeding the crop strike limit on Sovereignty in his Derby win and more. Nowhere else in racing are these kinds of candid, critical and incisive conversations happening.
