Emerald Downs announces another 10% purse increase effective Opening Day, May 15. That, on top of a 10% purse increase declared immediately after the close of the 2021 EmD season. Always great news to breeders, owners, trainers, jockeys and everybody else connected to local Thoroughbred racing!

Guests this week include four-time EmD Leading Owner John Parker and also author/handicapper Eric Floyd. This year Parker will race juveniles sired by his top career horse, 2017 Longacres Mile winner Gold Rush Dancer. Floyd's recent book "Heaven's Premier Horse Race," speaks to a mythical event among Triple Crown winners with proceeds going to retired race horses. Video of this podcast available at YouTube.
