The three of them discuss Prat’s winding journey from France to California to New York, his enormous victory aboard Sierra Leone in the Breeders’ Cup Classic, all of the work it’s taken to bring him to the precipice of his first Eclipse Award and much more.Joe and Jon also reflect on a huge stakes weekend for West Point Thoroughbreds and what it means for the turf male division in 2025 before discussing perplexing trends Jon is noticing in the stallion and auction market. They then touch on the precarious situation with Woodbine’s main track and whether or not Kenny McPeek has a legitimate case to be Eclipse champion trainer.Don’t miss any Rail Talk content—join the ever-growing family making us one of the leading podcasts in the industry by subscribing to the show on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Audible, etc. Huge thank you to our dedicated sponsors Taylor Made, The Green Group and Fasig-Tipton for their support.
