About this listen

In this week’s episode of Blinkers Off, Colton breaks down the biggest stories shaking up horse racing.


We kick things off with the Breeders' Cup vet scratches that had fans fuming, we dive into why these decisions are made, and ultimately why transparency could be the key to restoring trust. The we unpack Griffin Johnson’s “New Owner of the Year” award and how it sparked controversy. And finally, CAWs (Computer-Assisted Wagering) face a federal class-action lawsuit. Colton explains what it means for casual bettors, how the system got so broken, and what could fix it.

This solo episode tackles fan engagement, racing narratives, and the shifting tone in horse racing coverage.
