Today, Larry goes one-on-one with jockey Katie Davis, who joins the show from Aqueduct after announcing earlier this week that she will move her tack to Gulfstream Park for the Championship Meet. Katie reflects on her experience riding in the Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup at Royal Ascot, where she competed against jockeys from ten countries. She also talks about her global riding career, her deep family lineage in horse racing, what she learned from her father Robbie Davis, and how she and her husband Trevor McCarthy balanced riding careers while raising their daughter. Katie discusses her decision to relocate to Florida, the tracks she has ridden at around the world, and the major races she still dreams of winning before she retires.
Also today, Woodbine track announcer and handicapper Robert Geller returns to the show. Robert breaks down last weekend’s Breeders’ Cup races at Del Mar, sharing his thoughts on standout performances, the surprise win by Forever Young in the Classic, and whether Del Mar’s surface bias impacted Sierra Leone’s performance. As one of North America’s most respected race callers and pedigree students, Robert offers his insights into handicapping approaches, angles he relies on, and his analysis of today’s Woodbine card. He also reflects on the highlight moments of the 2025 Woodbine season and his post-season travel plans.
Then, Dr. Peter Physick-Sheard of the University of Guelph’s Department of Population Medicine joins us for his annual appearance. Peter previews the upcoming 10th Annual Equine Industry Symposium, taking place virtually on November 18th and 19th. This year’s theme, “Patching the Holes in Our Bucket — Inspiring Changes in Equestrian Culture,” brings together international speakers to discuss equestrian culture, welfare, and long-term industry sustainability. Peter explains how listeners can attend, the goals of the symposium, the importance of connecting stakeholders across the equine world, and why fostering positive cultural change is essential for the future of horse racing and equestrian sport. He also shares insight into his work at the University of Guelph and how the symposium has evolved over the years.
