About this listen

In Episode 15 of Blinkers Off, host Colton Phillips dives into the hottest issues shaking the racing world. First up in Track Talk: Dave Portnoy’s viral takedown of CAWs (Computer Assisted Wagering), why his influence could be racing’s wake-up call. Then, we examine how outdated Canadian tax laws are choking Ontario’s horse racing economy and discuss the record-breaking Fasig-Tipton sale. Then, in a very special interview, Colton is joined by Hall of Fame jockey and Triple Crown legend Mike Smith. From Breeders’ Cup pressure to Zenyatta memories, and what he felt riding Justify, Mike shares candid reflections from a career like no other. Finally, in Mail from the Rail, Colton answers a common question: what’s the least it costs to get involved with a racehorse?
