TDN Writers' Room Podcast: Episode 48 with Guest Jack Sisterson | August 5, 2020

Still in the afterglow of pulling off a colossal upset of champion Midnight Bisou (Midnight Lute) with Calumet's Vexatious (Giant's Causeway) in the GI Personal Ensign S. at Saratoga, Sisterson joined the TDN Writers' Room podcast presented by Keeneland Wednesday to talk about his first Grade I victory, his hands-on education in racing and the bright future for him and Calumet.

Calling in via Zoom as the Green Group Guest of the Week, Sisterson spoke on how he adapted his training approach to fit Vexatious, who is reaching her career peak at the age of six.

Elsewhere on the show, the writers analyzed last weekend's major stakes action, previewed Saturday's GI Runhappy Travers S. and took stock of where the 3-year-old picture stands exactly one month away from the GI Kentucky Derby. Then, in the West Point Thoroughbreds news segment, they reacted to the news of increased restrictions on out-of-state jockeys attempting the ride in the Derby, even as fans are still slated to be on track with much more lax requirements.
