Rail Talk Episode 65: Tinky Returns

Rail Talk Podcast

This week on Rail Talk! Our good friend and wise sage Tony Cobitz, a.k.a. Tinky, returns to the studio for another fascinating conversation with Joe Bianca and Jon Green on the state of racing and breeding.The three discuss the upcoming Breeders’ Cup Classic and its international flavor with main contenders City of Troy and Forever Young shipping in from all over the world. Has the City of Troy hype train run off the tracks? Will there be enough speed to set up Forever Young? And where does top domestic hopeful Fierceness fit into the race?The conversation then turns to the world of stallions, and Tink brings observations and graphics aplenty. Why are even today’s top sires producing relatively few graded stakes winners and fewer horses who stick around longer than a dozen or so starts? What, if anything can be done to reverse this trend?Don’t miss any of this illuminating and thought-provoking Rail Talk content.
