Rail Talk Episode 42: Broken Horses: An Industry in Repair

Rail Talk Podcast

Surprise! It’s a double dose of Rail Talk this week, as Joe Bianca and Jon Green follow up their Derby 150 preview show with an examination of the much-anticipated New York Times documentary Broken Horses. Despite the scary and sensationalist title, Joe and Jon came away feeling like the show did an excellent job telling the entire story of racing in the 21st century—the ills, but also the major effort of the industry to correct and reform itself. After giving their full review, the boys welcome Times reporter and Broken Horses producer Joe Drape for an illuminating discussion on how the show came to be, the ways he’s seen racing change in his 25 years covering the game, his overall outlook on the future and much more. Don’t miss any of this groundbreaking content, found nowhere else on any racing podcast.
