The December TDN Weekend is now available by clicking here.
This month, we're proud to feature our video conversation with Bob Duncan, who has worked on the starting gate at the NYRA for 50 years, as well as in private practice, and has brought methods of natural horsemanship to the job that has changed the way starting gate training has evolved. We hit up two racing hotspots this month, with some advice on where to stay, what to do, and where to eat if you're heading to Cape Town for the L'Ormarins Queen's Plate Racing Festival, or the Cape Thoroughbred Sales. If you're going to Hong Kong for the international races, there's only one place you have to eat, and that's at the track. Read on to find out why. Speaking of food, did you know that 60% of the fish caught off American shores is sent overseas…and 50% of it comes back? If you find that as unappetizing as we did, TDN Weekend has found a solution for those of you looking for fresh, sustainable fish…and just in time for the holiday season. But what does this have to do with horse racing? We caught up with Harbour Trading Company's David Goldsmith at the Fasig-Tipton Saratoga sale, where he was displaying his unbelievably fresh and tasty wares. And finally, after Songbird's epic $9.5 million sale at Fasig-Tipton, we catch up with the ever-inspiring Rick Porter. Enjoy, and happy holidays.
