About this listen
In this week’s episode of Blinkers Off, Colton Phillips breaks down the curious case of “thumps”, a metabolic condition that recently sidelined Skippylongstocking, and digs into the controversy surrounding electrolyte rules and equine welfare. We also examine the surprising fallout from Thorpedo Anna’s Spinster run and the bigger implications for her Breeders’ Cup hopes.
Then, we turn our attention to the political showdown in Florida over casino decoupling, why it threatens the future of Thoroughbred racing, and how it might set a dangerous precedent across North America.
Finally, Colton is joined by Riley Mott, multiple Grade 1-winning trainer, to talk about his path to the Breeders’ Cup, life as Bill Mott’s son, and what gives him hope for the next generation of racing fans. And as always, we wrap things up with Mail from the Rail, tackling a listener question about why F1 has outpaced horse racing in the global fan race.
