About this listen

Today, Larry goes one-on-one with jockey Samuel Marin, who at just twenty-four is having a breakout season. Samuel reflects on his riding titles at Meadowlands and Tampa Bay Downs, his first graded stakes victories, and piling up more than five million dollars in purse earnings. He also discusses his career goals and the mentors who helped him along the way.

Larry also goes one-on-one with trainer Rachel Halden, who saddles Aristella and Borealis Trail in tomorrow’s $400,000 Breeders Stakes at Woodbine. Rachel looks back on her one-two finish in last year’s edition and previews her chances of pulling off another exacta for Chiefswood Stables.

In addition, Larry goes one-on-one with driver Bob McClure, fresh off a Metro Pace victory with two-year-old Beau Jangles at Woodbine Mohawk Park. Bob shares his impressions of the Ontario-sired colt and how he stacks up against some of the best horses he’s driven.

Plus, Larry reviews the week in racing in In Case You Missed It, takes us on a Road Trip to the $400,000 Breeders Stakes, 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.
