Today, Larry goes one-on-one with Kurt Becker, Keeneland Track Announcer and the only race caller the Kentucky track has ever employed. Kurt previews the Keeneland Fall Meet, including today’s stakes-heavy card and the Grade 1 Coolmore Turf Mile for one million two hundred fifty thousand dollars, a “Win and You’re In” qualifier for the Breeders’ Cup Mile. He also shares insights on calling races at one of North America’s most storied venues.

Larry also goes one-on-one with Mindy Coleman, Legal Counsel for the Jockeys’ Guild in the United States. Mindy discusses her role advocating for riders, recent high-profile matters that have drawn industry attention, and broader issues around rules and safety that continue to shape the sport.

In addition, Larry goes one-on-one with Rafael Hernandez, Woodbine jockey and friend of the show. Rafael looks back at his narrow head victory aboard Tom’s Magic in last weekend’s Breeders’ Stakes at Woodbine and talks about his season to date, notable mounts on today’s card, and goals he still wants to achieve.

Plus, Larry reviews the week in racing in In Case You Missed It, takes us on a Road Trip to Keeneland for the Coolmore Turf Mile, spotlights excellence in our Performance of the Week, and closes with his Ponies Picks of the Day for Woodbine, Mohawk Park, and other North American tracks.
