We all know the real stars and heroes of the industry and the sport are these amazing Thoroughbreds. The TAA is one of many organizations, large and small, doing amazing work to help our horses in their careers after racing. I also want to thank and shout out all of the

Horseplayers have many reasons to be frustrated. But this? NYRA blocked CAWs in win pool inside 2 mtp for over 3 yrs, creating the most stable win pools in the U.S! The win pool reflects opinions largely absent CAWs. All other pools are very different.

Go behind the scenes with the voice of Churchill Downs as he calls the 151st running of the Kentucky Derby presented by Woodford Reserve.

Excerpts from TRI senior advisor @Damon_Thayer’s convo w Steve Byk ~ 🇨🇦 🇲🇽 🇺🇦 this morning: I finally got a call before the Oaks was run that the decoupling bill was indeed dead for the session. Gulfstream Park, Stronach Group etc were trying up till last minute to insert decoupling into
