This week on Breakaway Rail Talk sponsored by Arion Pedigrees, Joe Bianca sits down for an in-depth 1-on-1 conversation with Dave Lyon, the founder and managing partner of Blue Lion Thoroughbreds.

A Saratoga native, Lyon started Blue Lion as a tight-knit partnership with local friends and acquaintances. Before they knew it, the group found themselves on the Kentucky Derby trail with Gotham Stakes winner Morello in 2022. But an untimely injury cost the colt his chance at the Roses, and Lyon tells all about the lessons he learned from managing his partnership through that massive letdown.

The two also discussed both the excitement and challenges of getting a smaller partnership off the ground, what it takes to punch above your weight class in a business ruled by big money, the news that winter racing in New York will shift exclusively to synthetic and much more.

Don’t miss any of these fascinating conversations on Rail Talk—be sure to subscribe to the show on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Audible or wherever you get your pods. Thanks to Arion Pedigrees for giving us the fuel for our Breakaway Rail Talk fire.
