Rail Talk supports the New York Race Track Chaplaincy
Over 3,500 people make up the community of workers who toil behind the scenes in support of the Thoroughbred racing industry at Belmont Park, Aqueduct Racetrack, and Saratoga Springs Race Course. The New York Race Track Chaplaincy ministers to the heart and soul of this entire community of stable workers and their families with children’s enrichment, teen mentoring, women’s programming, social service, recreational, and educational programs as well as non-denominational religious services. The NY Chaplaincy provides these extensive services with the intent of satisfying spiritual needs and basic human necessities, as well as providing the tools necessary for the realization of personal strength and growth through a connection to God and community. Michael Dubb, Nick Caras, Xochilt Solorio, and Irad Ortiz discuss their passion for the work of Chaplain Humberto Chavez and his tireless team.

Robert Montano’s show “Small” is a BIG hit!
Robert Montano's life's ambition was to be a jockey. He struggled to get rides from trainers, worked to get trust from the horses and - like so many jockeys - tortured himself to make weight as his young body grew. In this one man show, Robert shares the extreme emotion of being a rider and the utter heartbreak too. Small is getting rave reviews in its Off Broadway run and we were honored to visit with him and learn more about his incredible journey.
