About this listen

In Episode 6 of Blinkers Off, Colton dives into Death of a Racehorse, Katie Bo Lillis’ groundbreaking book on regulation, breakdowns, and the future of the sport. Then, we’re joined by equine veterinarian Dr. Vicky Banks, who talks about the highs and lows of her career, the difference between private and regulatory vets, and how technology is reshaping horse care. We wrap up with Mail from the Rail, tackling questions on the key differences between European and North American racing, plus whether taller jockeys can ever succeed at the top level.
