This week on Rail Talk! Joe Bianca and Jon Green start a jam-packed show appreciating the immense progress being made in the HISA era. Racing fatalities dropped below 1 per 1,000 starts at tracks under HISA’s jurisdiction in 2024, the first time racing has crossed that benchmark since the advent of the Equine Injury Database in 2009. The same week the numbers were released, HISA also busted a veterinarian and 13 trainers at Penn National for allegedly breaking their rules on intra-articular joint injections, proving again the necessity of having cops on the beat.Joe and Jon then welcome back friend of the show Tinky aka Tony Cobitz alongside trainer Ron Moquett for a fascinating, substantive discussion on what the future of the HISA era will look like, initiatives to improve Thoroughbred aftercare, the importance of combatting misinformation about the sport and much more.The boys also react to the Rebel as Jon surges to the lead in the Mage Rage Derby contest presented by Airdrie Stud, and look forward to an action-filled weekend of prep races headlined by the Fountain of Youth at Gulfstream and San Felipe at Santa Anita.Don’t miss any Rail Talk content—be sure to join our ever-growing family by subscribing to the show on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Audible or wherever you get your pods.
