This week on Rail Talk! The scintillating Kentucky Derby trail is nearing its pinnacle, and Joe Bianca and Jon Green are excited to dig in on all the action. The boys react to Emerging Market’s gutsy victory in the Louisiana Derby, discuss whether or not the Jeff Ruby Steaks Stakes should be a 100-point Derby qualifier, and look forward to stellar weekend cards at Gulfstream and Oaklawn surrounding the Florida Derby and Arkansas Derby centerpieces.
Joe and Jon also celebrate the latest evidence of major progress on equine safety from the 2025 Equine Injury Database numbers, give an update on the upcoming HISA board vote on Lasix use, update the Mage Rage Derby contest standings and look forward to Joe’s trip to Oaklawn a year after Sandman’s monster victory in Hot Springs.
