I break down the massive weekend at Gulfstream Park and analyze each of the seven graded stakes races with the Pegasus World Cup leading things off. The showdown between Life is Good and Knicks Go might not have lived up to the hopes of Affirmed and Alydar, but it did give us a dazzling display as Life is Good jumped to the early lead and put away the field with ease as Irad Ortiz Jr. spent the last four strides prior to crossing the finish line stroke the mane of the winning horse. Listen for even more horse racing news.

In this week’s podcast episode of horse racing news, I discuss updates on trainer news, jockey suspensions, the legacy of an all-time broodmare, and more. I start by reviewing the recent suspensions in New Jersey of trainers Marvin Richards, Bonnie Lucas, and Wayne Potts. This week the NYRA is in the news as part of the Bob Baffert trial that began, in earnest, on Monday and will likely continue through the end of the week. In Pennsylvania, the state racing commission has suspended leading Parx jockey Michael Sanchez for 60 days due to his wagering on races and betting against his horses. Tune in for even more news.

The weekend brought us an unbelievable slate of races down in Louisiana at the Fair Grounds but we saw actions from across the country. In today’s podcast, I break down the various stakes races starting with the disqualifications of the runaway winner of the Duncan Kenner Stakes, Just Might, who beat the field by open lengths appearing to win his 8th consecutive non-graded stakes races. That's just scratching the surface of what we talk about in today's episode so listen for even more.

Lots of activity in horse racing this week as I break it all down on this episode of The Win Place Show podcast. We start in Mississippi where the statehouse has introduced a bill (HB 588) that would create a state racing commission. In horse racing news, the Louisiana State Racing Commission will meet soon to determine whether they will opt out of the HISA Lasix ban. Over the weekend, the 2021 Eclipse Awards Finalist were announced. In horse news, it’s foal season and aside from being bombarded with adorable pictures of baby foals on your social media timeline, we did see the first foals of two prominent horses over the weekend. Plus the latest jockeying news coming out of New Zealand where the racing commission is reviewing their whip rules due to an increase in recent suspensions associated with the “consecutive strides” rule where you cannot use a crop on a horse on consecutive strides even if those are the only two times in the race you use the crop. Listen for more horse racing news on today's episode of The Win Place Show.

I am thrilled to be joined by jockey agent Jose Santos Jr who has burst onto the scene over the last few years and represents riders primarily in the Midwest and south. Jose may be a young man but he’s a horse racing lifer having come from a family where his father and four uncles were all jockeys and his father received national acclaim when he won the 2003 Kentucky Derby and Preakness on Funny Cide. Jose Santos Jr. started representing jockeys at 16 and continued to be a jockey agent while being a full-time college student while earning his degree at Bellarmine University in Louisville, KY. Since starting out, Jose has grown his operation to representing eight jockeys at several different colonies such as Ry Eikelberry at Sam Houston, Reylu Gutierrez at Fair Grounds, in addition to riders at Oaklawn, Turfway Park, and more. In our interview, I talk to Jose about how he broke into the business, how he goes about getting the best rides for his jockeys, the whirlwind around the recent hot streak of Reylu Gutierrez, what his plans are for expansion in 2022, and more. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy my interview with Jose Santos Jr.

At Laurel Park (MD) racing and training has been suspended until at least Sunday, January 16 because the track is not properly winterized. The New York Times broke a story this week that Bob Baffert and his attorneys are planning on filing a complaint against Churchill Downs Inc. Help is on the way in the form of new HISA CEO, Ms. Lisa Lazarus who was publicly named to the position on Tuesday and will take over responsibilities on February 15, 2022. On the track, there is some exciting news as Mandaloun and Midnight Bourbon are set to kick-off their 2022 rivalry at the Grade II Louisiana Derby at Fair Grounds next week. The final piece of news on this week’s podcast is that Joel Rosario is returning to action after being sidelined with a rib injury.

His death sent shockwaves through the horse racing community and ignited calls for reform, however, as our conversation shows, the potential causes for his passing are quite varied and we will not have a clear-cut understanding of the factors that led to his death of months. Additionally, we discuss how the sport of horse racing can better regulate themselves and understanding the various therapeutic means used to improve horse health and welfare. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy my interview with Dr. Kathryn Papp.

This week rang in 2022 and brought with it excitement about the 2022 Kentucky Derby as the weekend featured several stakes races for the 3-year-olds that will look to run their way into history. Before we get to all of the 3-year-old races though, we had a solid Saturday card at Santa Anita with four graded stakes races. In the Joe Hernandez Stakes, we saw Chewing Gum, a horse that had not won a race in 18 months, win in thrilling fashion as he edged out Beer Can Man at the wire. That's just a sneak peek at some of the things we talk about in today's episode. Take a listen for even more horse racing recaps.

Frankel, and the La Canada Stakes). I break all the graded stakes races down on The Win Place Show, so check it out to get in-depth analysis of the biggest races.

2021 featured some amazing horse races across the country and across the world. It saw streaks broken, new faces burst onto the scene, and its fair share of “Oh, my God did you just see that” moments. When compiling this year’s list, I took into consideration several factors: importance of the race, how thrilling the race was, the impact the outcome of the race had on horse racing, and the potential longevity the race will have in the minds of viewers. Obviously, any Top 10 list is subjective and this one is no different. You’ll notice Knicks Go, the likely Eclipse Award Winner for Horse of the Year does not appear in my list simply because Knicks Go typically wins his races with such ease there is little drama unfolding. He’s truly a symbol for how the totality of his races is more impressive than any single performance. With the throat clearing aside, let's dive into my Top 10 races and be sure to share yours in the comments below or on social media and tag me on Twitter at @failedtomenace.

In this week’s horse racing news episode, I spend time discussing how weather has impacted the upcoming weekend at Santa Anita as they scramble to reshuffle their weekend cards after canceling Thursday’s contests due to excessive rain. In other news, the Horse Racing Integrity and Safety Authority (HISA) was unable to come to a governing agreement with the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) regarding ground rules for testing starting in 2022. Listen to the episode for even more horse racing news.

The Christmas Weekend featured an opening day at Santa Anita racetrack in a card that was loaded with talent and six graded stakes races. However, news broke that morning that all of the turf races were to be taken off the turf and run on dirt, which obviously threw a big wrench into several of the stakes turf races. I spend the first few minutes of the podcast discussing how you should adjust your wagers and picks when turf races are taken off the grass and how it impacted the card. Then we dive into the slews of stakes races on the card starting with the Grade II San Gabriel Stakes, which was the race most impacted by scratches, that ended up being a four-horse field. Front-runner Bob and Jackie proved that early speed is the best and was able to hold off a hard-charging Friar’s Road, who has come up just short for the third consecutive race. There are some built-in excuses for Friar’s Road coming up short this time but it’s a worrisome trend and one worth monitoring as he progresses. Tune in to today's episode for even more news.

Despite the upcoming holidays, there is still a lot of news coming out of the horse racing industry and I break it all down on this Wednesday’s episode of the Win Place Show podcast. In the United States, the big news was the sentencing of former trainer Jorge Navarro to a five-year prison sentence for please guilty to two counts of conspiracy. Navarro has also been ordered to pay $25.8 million in restitution but details about how the money will be allocated and whether Navarro will be able to even pay a fraction of the restitution is still in doubt. His prison sentence will begin in February 2022. Listen for even more news across the entire industry.

This week, we saw big news regarding where and when racing can take place in Louisiana and Maryland as the Louisiana Racing Commission continued to deny Delta Downs from running night races due to unsafe conditions caused by the LED lighting system. Meanwhile, the Maryland Racing Commission gave the go-ahead to Laurel Park to resume racing after they reconstructed a portion of their homestretch to make it safer for horses following a series of breakdowns in November. In trainer news, we await the sentencing of former trainer Jorge Navarro who has pled guilty to a variety of charges regarding his treatment of the horses under his care and defrauding owners, bettors, and the entire industry by supplementing his horses with illegal substances. When it comes to horses, there is some great news as Hot Rod Charlie was named the 2021 Secretariat Vox Populi Award winner for the favorite and most beloved horse of the year. Tune into today's episode for even more horse racing news.

This week, I start in South Florida where Officiating showed that he’s a one-turn dirt horse as he impressively won the Grade III Mr. Prospector Stakes at Gulfstream Park. At Oaklawn, we saw the much-awaited return of Nashville, the Steve Asmussen sprint horse, who had put on a show as a three-year-old at the Breeders’ Cup undercard in 2020. Finally, there was a massive weekend of racing in Hong Kong at the Sha Tin racecourse with four Grade I races.

The weekend saw several graded stakes races play out across the country, but nowhere was there more controversy and excitement than in New York at Aqueduct, which featured the Grade I Cigar Mile. Prior to the running of the Cigar Mile, there was a lot of attention paid to the Grade II Remsen won by Mo Donegal over Zandon, but the conversation afterwards had nothing to do with the horses and everything to do with the jockeys. Once again, Irad Ortiz Jr. had an overly aggressive ride on Mo Donegal and appeared to make physical contact with the opposing horse, Zandon, and the opposing jockey, John Velazquez. It was notable that after the race, even Eclipse Award trainer Chad Brown, who uses Ortiz Jr. on many of his horses, took to social media to complain about the aggressiveness of the ride that adversely impacted his horse, Zandon. The day before, Ortiz Jr. had moved over several lanes and unseated fellow jockey Eric Cancel from his mount. Neither incident resulted in a disqualification and the results stood. However, on Sunday evening, news broke that the New York Racing Association had suspended Irad Ortiz Jr. for 30 calendar days due to aggressive riding.
There was also great racing that took place this weekend as Americanrevolution took the Grade I Cigar Mile over his stablemate Following Sea giving trainer Todd Pletcher the 1-2 finish in this prestigious race. Americanrevolution appeared not to have his best effort and Following Sea set a moderate pace, but ultimately, Americanrevolution was able to dig-in and gain ground down the stretch to win while posting a 104 Beyer Speed figure. Americanrevolution will not get a few months off for training and looks poised to have a big 4-year-old campaign.
Off the track, there was also significant news as Bob Baffert’s lawyer released a statement indicating a lab had determined the positive betamethasone test from Kentucky Derby winner Medina Spirit had been the result of the application of a topical ointment that contained the substance, which was not illegal. There has been no official word from Churchill Downs about the decision or the decision to continue to suspend Baffert from entering horses at the track for the next two years.
Listen to me break all these stories down, give you what I got right and wrong from the weekend, and also provide insight into what we can expect from racing in the Sunshine State this winter, and more.

I break down the races at Aqueduct, Churchill Downs, and Del Mar. The Big A produced some surprising winners on the Friday after Thanksgiving, most notably Bees and Honey in the Grade III Comely Stakes where she was able to sit behind a glacial pace and then made a move to easily pull away from the field. Meanwhile, a few hours later, Maxfield entered retirement a winner as he closed out a tremendous career with a win at the Grade I Clark at Churchill Downs. Listen for more.

The final weekend before the Thanksgiving holiday produced some great races and some big news in the horse racing industry. On the track, we saw a trio of impressive victories in graded stakes competition with Serve the King making a driving effort to beat frontrunner Channel Cat at the Grade II Red Smith Stakes at Aqueduct. Meanwhile, in the Bluegrass State, we saw Obligatory bounce back from a poor performance last time out to easily dispatch the field at the Grade III Chilukki Stakes at Churchill Downs. Finally, on the west coast, we saw Azul Coast get in the winner’s circle at the Grade III Native Diver Stakes. Azul Coast’s last performance was a disappointing 6th place at the Grade I Awesome Again Stakes where he finished 17 lengths behind eventual winning, and stablemate, Medina Spirit. His victory on Saturday came at the expense of another higher profile stablemate, Eight Rings, who tried to run only two weeks after racing at the Breeders’ Cup.

This weekend saw three thrilling graded stakes races at Woodbine Racetrack in Ontario, Canada. In the Grade III Maple Leaf Stakes, Skygaze and Sister Otoole, both horses I picked in the top three, finished 1-2 with Skygaze returning to her winning ways after slipping up last time out at the Ontario Matron Stakes. Meanwhile, in the headlining race, the Grade II Bessarabian Stakes, Lady Speightspeare, my pick to win, did just that as she sat in a perfect stalking position and pulled away down the stretch. The story of Lady Speightspeare’s return to the winner’s circle after nearly a year of inactivity following a two-year-old campaign that looked like it would culminate with a Breeders’ Cup appearance is really one of the better stories in the sport.

As we approach the 2021 Breeders’ Cup Weekend, I thought it would be fun to look back over the last 20 years and pull together my 10 favorite moments from all the races. The Breeders’ Cup has provided us thrilling moments, devastating defeats, and miraculous long shots, which make us fall in love with the sport of horse racing all over again. In performing this exercise, I was struck by some of the innovations we have seen over the years in horse racing coverage and above all, I was reminded of how an amazing announcer can put you in the moment and send chills down your spine. Listen for my Top 10 Breeders’ Cup moments since 2000.

Chad Brown dominated Keeneland, an Oklahoma legend retires, and we see a thrilling finish at Santa Anita. After an exciting weekend of racing from coast to coast, I take stock of what I got right, what I got wrong, and some lessons learned. The weekend produced a dominating performance from Chad Brown’s Shantisara at Keeneland’s Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup Stakes, but that wasn’t it for Brown who also claimed second in the same race with Technical Analysis (my pick to win). While the yielding turf surface at Keeneland played a roll, Shantisara proved to be much the best. Chad Brown’s barn, after a bumpy start at Saratoga a few months ago, is cruising along to its winning ways ahead of November’s Breeders’ Cup at Del Mar.
