Welcome to the new TDN Podcast page, which features a weekly racing discussion—the TDN Writers' Room—along with stories from the TDN Look and longer stories in the TDN which have been made into podcasts.
Cloud Computing (Maclean's Music) might have made it look easy when he won the GI Preakness, but it was anything but. He had to defeat a GI Kentucky Derby winner and the 2-year-old champion and overcome the fact he had had just three career starts. How did he do it? Whatever the exact answer is,
Rocco Baldelli may not have bred a Kentucky Derby winner, but then again, Colonel E.R. Bradley, John R. Madden and John Galbreath never hit 60 home runs in the major leagues. Baldelli, now the first base coach for Major League Baseball's Tampa Bay Rays, is busy breeding thoroughbreds when he's not on the ball field. Baldelli is our
Todd Pletcher has been in the spotlight for a long time and his list of accomplishments is an almost endless one. But his finest moment may have come last Saturday at Churchill Downs, where he broke that 1-for-45 hex and won the GI Kentucky Derby with Always Dreaming (Bodemeister). The man of the hour, Todd
It was a little less than 12 years ago that Anthony Bonomo Sr. took a trip to Saratoga with his wife Mary Ellen, and it sounds like Mary Ellen had to twist her husband's arm to get him to go to the track that day. But as so often happens with Saratoga visitors, he had
Olympic gold medalist Bode Miller is best known for his talents on the ski slopes, but he's pretty well known around the track as well. A longtime horse fan and racehorse owner, Miller has bought into the Derby hopeful Fast And Accurate (Hansen). He talks Kentucky Derby, skiing, horse racing and more on this week's
You could always find horses like Tepin, Wise Dan, Main Sequence or Lady Eli at sales, but you can also, if you really try, find a needle in a haystack. Yearling sales have traditionally been geared toward dirt horses and those interested in finding a horse with a future in the turf had to look
Man o' War's 100th birthday has spawned a year-long celebration of the horse many consider to be the best in history. There aren't many people left who can say they knew him, but if you're looking for someone who did so intimately, look no further than Ercel Ellis. His father was the first one to put
It may not seem like it, but Chad Brown is a relative baby in this game. He's been training for only 10 years, but has already reached the heights of his profession. In 2016, he had his best year ever, not only leading the nation in money earned but winning an Eclipse Award as the
The best horse racing book ever written? Honestly, that's a no-brainer. Laura Hillenbrand's Seabiscuit wins in a gallop. For good measure, Hillenbrand also wrote the best-selling book Unbroken about World War II hero and Olympian Louis Zamperini. Hillenbrand has led a fascinating life, reaching the pinnacles of her profession despite battling health problems. She is our guest
Dennis O'Neill may not get the acclaim that his brother, Doug, does. He's the behind-the-scenes guy. But with virtually every Doug O'Neill success story, Dennis has played a role, as he is the one who picked out and bought so many future O'Neill stable stars at the sales. How has he done it? We'll find out this
Darby Dan Farm is one of the most iconic brands in the history of the thoroughbred racing and breeding business. Darby Dan won two Kentucky Derbies, an Epsom Derby and stood all-star stallions like Roberto, Sea Bird and Sword Dancer. The early 2000s were quiet ones for Darby Dan, but that is beginning to change. Under
The most high-profile stallion to retire to stud this year was North America's leading money-winner, California Chrome, the two-time Horse of the Year. As the breeding season gets underway at his new home, Taylor Made Farm in Nicholasville, Kentucky, they are hopeful he will prove to be as great a sire as he was a racehorse. Taylor Made's
He just may ride the best horse in the world…and his name is not Mike Smith. While Arrogate has taken U.S. racing by storm, the great mare Winx has done the same in Australia. She is rated the top grass horse in the world, and has won an incredible 14 in a row. On this week's
He's already won one Kentucky Derby with Monarchos and is now taking aim at a second with Eclipse Award winner Classic Empire. As if that's not enough, he's also an acclaimed polo player and philanthropist. John Oxley is our guest this week on the Thoroughbred Daily News podcast.
Be it Eight Belles, Hard Spun, Jostle, Havre de Grace or the great champion Songbird, owner Rick Porter keeps coming up with terrific race horses. How does he do it? We talk to him about that, as well as how he is he faring in his battle with cancer, in this week's guest on the Thoroughbred Daily News
