Outstanding @BreedersCup show, @rail_talk. Great analysis from Joe, Jon, Megan & Jim. Agree with @themeganburgess, Meat Judging is cool. Was on NDSU’s Collegiate Meat Judging team. Spending hours in the cooler grading & placing carcasses, remembering PYGs & specs. #LifeSkills
This week! @JoeBiancaWPT and @JonGreen2022 are joined by NYRA/FOX analyst @theMeganBurgess to break down all 14 @BreedersCup championship races, then are joined by @PolitanoJim to put together a late Pick 5 ticket for Saturday. Full episode on RailTalkMedia.com youtu.be/h8cM2dh7VnU

This episode was “loaded!” Thanks to the @JonGreen2022 pun. Plenty of topics that could be discussed further. The foal crop topic & the use of artificial insemination are subjects I’d love to hear a panel of people discuss. Love the things @jonathanstettin has rolling! #GreatShow

Opening day at Eureka Downs is 8 days away! In an era of tracks closing, Eureka is opening up after being dark for 16 years. Lots of support, hard work & many committed people made this happen. KS racing is back! Fact: Eureka is the oldest track west of the Mississippi River.

I think the entire sports needs to pause, listen to these words, listen again, put down our swords, erase our personal and self-serving agendas and remember that we call this industry we love, Horse Racing.
The horse world needs more voices like this. Arthur Hancock III built a legacy on wisdom, grit, and speaking up when it mattered. Every rider, breeder, and fan should listen to the words spoken by this Hall of Fame Pillar of the Turf. Drop a ❤️ if you agree with Mr Hancock.

Merged two of my favorite things into one…Watched the @keenelandsales Sept. Sale and served as the announcer of the sheep show at the Kansas State Fair. I was channeling my inner @BeckerTrackside and @Scott_Hazelton while I announced the show results. #LetMeReadPedigrees

This is the epitome of the brain power, vision, instinct and unwavering commitment it takes to breed great stock. In this game there are breeders and there are multipliers. Bret Jones at @AirdrieStud is a prime example of what it means to be a breeder. Great story @Joe_Nevills.

It may have been 110 degrees in Oklahoma today, but that didn’t stop me from spending most of the day next to the smoker. These pork belly burnt ends turned out fantastic! #LowAndSlow #BBQMagic
